[Q] Install and run apk.file

stiphen said:

Is there any command on cmd.exe that would allow me to run apk.file after installing it .. like

adb install myapp.apk

This command will only install myapp onto the emulator and I have to manually run this application from the emulator (by performing single click on its icon).

What I want to do is use a command which not only installs the application but also run it or open it in the device after installation.

after installing Myfile.apk

adb install Myfile.apk

and then try to run it in the device

adb shell am start -n com.other.Myfile.apk/.MainActivity


I get the error

Starting: Intent { cmp=com.other.Myfile.apk/ .MainActivity }
Error type 3
Error: Activity class {com.other.Myfile.apk/com.other.Myfile.apk.MainActivity} does not exist.

whereas Myfile.apk is installed
