Question

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

Answer 1

We can as well start an application by knowing application type and feeding it with data:

adb shell am start -d "file:///sdcard/sample.3gp" -t "video/3gp" -a android.intent.action.VIEW

This command displays available Video Players to play sample.3gp file
