Android在shell中提供了am命令来发送Intent,它的源码为位于frameworks/base/cmds/am.
它本身是用JAVA代码来实现的。
执行am命令其实是通过运行shell脚本frameworks/base/cmds/am/am,然后在该脚本中运行app_process命令来启动am这个java程序的。
frameworks/base/cmds/am/am脚本文件如下:
# Script to start "am" on the device, which has a very rudimentary# shell.#base=/systemexport CLASSPATH=$base/framework/am.jarexec app_process $base/bin com.android.commands.am.Am "$@"
am命令语法如下
usage: am [subcommand] [options]
start an Activity: am start [-D] [-W] <INTENT>
-D: enable debugging
-W: wait for launch to complete
start a Service: am startservice <INTENT>
send a broadcast Intent: am broadcast <INTENT>
start an Instrumentation: am instrument [flags] <COMPONENT>
-r: print raw results (otherwise decode REPORT_KEY_STREAMRESULT)
-e <NAME> <VALUE>: set argument <NAME> to <VALUE>
-p <FILE>: write profiling data to <FILE>
-w: wait for instrumentation to finish before returning
start profiling: am profile <PROCESS> start <FILE>
stop profiling: am profile <PROCESS> stop
start monitoring: am monitor [--gdb <port>]
--gdb: start gdbserv on the given port at crash/ANR
<INTENT> specifications include these flags:
[-a <ACTION>] [-d <DATA_URI>] [-t <MIME_TYPE>]
[-c <CATEGORY> [-c <CATEGORY>] ...]
[-e|--es <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_STRING_VALUE> ...]
[--esn <EXTRA_KEY> ...]
[--ez <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_BOOLEAN_VALUE> ...]
[-e|--ei <EXTRA_KEY> <EXTRA_INT_VALUE> ...]
[-n <COMPONENT>] [-f <FLAGS>]
