How to start an application using android ADB tools?

Question

How do I send an intent using Android\'s ADB tools?

Answer 1

monkey --pct-syskeys 0 for development boards

Without this argument, the app won't open on a development board without keys / display:

adb shell monkey --pct-syskeys 0 -p com.cirosantilli.android_cheat.textviewbold 1

and fails with error:

SYS_KEYS has no physical keys but with factor 2.0%

Tested on HiKey960, Android O AOSP.
