In order to create an activityStarter to start an created with AppInventor (ai2) I need some information (class, packagename) that I should find in the file youngandroidproject/project.properties according to instructions on http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/components/connectivity.html#ActivityStarter 

However the option to download a source in readable form (not .aia) form seems to have disappeared in ai2?

Where do I find this info now?

The App Inventor 2 source file is the aia file.  The aia file is a form of *.zip file.   You can unzip the file and inspect the youngandroidproject.

Using a copy of your AI2 aia file:

Change the suffix from aia to zip.   For example,   MyApp.aia ..change it to MyApp.zip.

Now, unzip  MyApp.zip .    Look at the resulting folders.   Did you find what you need?

Regards,
Steve
