Activity Manager

Tool for generating commands

As explained here https://pegasus-frontend.org/docs/user-guide/platform-android/ android does not allow cmd line launching apps. Instead ask the Activity Manager (am) to open a file or start an app.

To perform a shell exec with default file associated

am start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "<path-to-file>"

If you can't use default we need to use (don't bother setting up defaults in android is IMPOSSIBLE!)

am start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n <activity-name> -d "<path-to-file>"

launch: am start --user 0 -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n org.dolphinemu.dolphinemu/.activities.AppLinkActivity -d {file.path}

activity-name

.activities.AppLinkActivity

app-name

org.dolphinemu.dolphinemu

The activity-name is pulled from AndroidManifest

The app-name can be pulled from android/data hidden folder.
