Answer 1

1. configure your device in developer mode
2. connect the device to a PC over USB
3. install the android debugger on the PC
4. get the list of packages on the device:

$ adb shell pm list packages -f -3

this is easiest if you grep for what you want (example: X server):

$ adb shell pm list packages -f -3 | grep -i server
package:/data/app/x.org.server-pn6gNfAPA-hplcvZLS-JsA==/base.apk=x.org.server

5. find the list of activities for the package you want to work with:

$ PACKAGE=x.org.server
$ adb shell dumpsys package | grep -Eo $(printf "^[[:space:]]+[0-9a-f]+[[:space:]]+%s/[^[:space:]]+" "${PACKAGE}") | grep -oE "[^[:space:]]+$"
x.org.server/.RunFromOtherApp
x.org.server/.MainActivity
x.org.server/.MainActivity

6. use your am start command with the above found activity name:

am start --user 0 -n x.org.server/.RunFromOtherApp

Thank you for your answer that doesn't need any dependency. Note that you don't need adb at all: you can run am and sudo dumpsys from Termux. – Roast

Answer 2

It is just the same answer for termux

am start --user 0 -n com.Package.name/activityclass

You can find activity class through apk info app available in Google Playstore.

Answer 3

Here's how you should do it.

am start --user 0 -n com.Package.name/activityclass

To find the activity class and stuff, there is an app called Dev Tools. You can inspect any personal app, using this app. You can also find the Activity class there, and much more.

You can use Termux Launcher

This app provides a command launch [ShortAppName] to open any app.
