How do I test my Dock Application

Question

I don\'t have a Dock, but I\'m writing an Dock replacement app. Can I simulate the Clock Dock somehow? I know I can for the Car Dock, but that\'s not the dock I\'m replacing.

Answer 1

The adb command above is almost correct. you need to use --ei and not -ei. the full command I use to simulate docked to car is:

am broadcast -a android.intent.action.DOCK_EVENT --ei android.intent.extra.DOCK_STATE 2

execute this command from the adb console and that should do it (no permission issues since adb runs in root context)

Only thing missing it that this is supposed to be a sticky broadcast and I don't think there is any way setting it as sticky using adb.
