Sending intent with bundle using console

Question

I'm developing an Android app listening for specific intent containing a bundle with some data. I would like to send an intent to my app using adb. I have tried with:

adb shell am startservice -a com.INTENT_NAME -e myBundleName myBundleData com.pkg/com.pkg.cls

but my app recognised it as list of string not as a bundle. Does anyone know how to send intent with bundles using am application? Unfortunately documentation says only about sending lists of string or numbers, nothing about bundle.

Answer 1

According to the source code am has no way of accepting input data of the bundle type

Update: In Android 7.0 the intent parameters parsing code has been moved from Am.java to Intent.java and support for more data types (like Array[] and ArrayList<> of basic types) has been added. Unfortunately there is still no support for the Bundle type extras in am command.
