Android控制台命令am簡介

Android在shell中提供了am命令來發送Intent,它的源碼為位於frameworks/base/cmds/am.
它本身是用JAVA代碼來實現的。
執行am命令其實是通過運行shell腳本frameworks/base/cmds/am/am，然後在該腳本中運行app_process命令來啟動am這個java程序的。
frameworks/base/cmds/am/am腳本文件如下：
# Script to start "am" on the device, which has a very rudimentary
# shell.
#
base=/system
export CLASSPATH=$base/framework/am.jar
exec app_process $base/bin com.android.commands.am.Am "$@"
am命令語法如下
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>]
