Start an Android application using Android ADB tools
$ adb shell am start -n ${package_name}/${package_name}.${activity_name}
try on your machine

The adb shell am start command is used to start an activity (a specific screen or window) of an Android application from the command line.

The -n option is used to specify the component name (package name and activity name) of the application that you want to start.

${package_name} is a placeholder for the actual package name of the application. Replace it in the command with the real package name.

${activity_name} is a placeholder for the actual activity name of the application. Replace it in the command with the real activity name.

So when you run the command with the placeholders replaced, it will start the specified activity of the specified application on the connected Android device or emulator.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
