How to launch a standard application in adb shell

[Jaewon]

Hi all.

I'm using Android Emulator and adb shell.
And I'm very wondering how to launch a standard application such as
browser in adb shell.

I think app_process should be used to do that.
But I don't know the exact way.

Does anyone know about that?

Thx.

u can use this command install ur application on android emulator
# adb install hello.apk

removed ur application
#adb shell rm com.google.anroid.hello.apk

I think for removing applicxation you have to removce it fro mits
original location
adb install puts the .APK in /data/app

so while removing you should use command

adb shell rm /data/app/com.google.anroid.hello.apk

Oh yes.DineshG's words reminds me of the APP's original location.I
forgot it.
thk u very much.

Use "adb install <local path>" to install, "adb uninstall <package name>" to uninstall.

And use "adb shell am start ..." to launch activities.

Thx.

Someone around me told me how to do that by using am.

You can invoke application by am.
type 'am' in android shell to know the usage.

You may need to look at AndroidManifest.xml to know the each
application invoking path.
This is example.
Settings - am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n
com.android.settings/.Settings
Browser - am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n
com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity

Thx everyone.
