Sending intent to BroadcastReceiver from adb

Question

I\'ve got BroadcastReceiver class:

public class IntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    final String tag = \"Intent Intercepter\";

    @Override
            


        

Answer 1

You need not specify receiver. You can use adb instead.

adb shell am broadcast -a com.whereismywifeserver.intent.TEST 
--es sms_body "test from adb"

For more arguments such as integer extras, see the documentation.

Answer 2

Noting down my situation here may be useful to somebody,

I have to send a custom intent with multiple intent extras to a broadcast receiver in Android P,

The details are,

Receiver name: com.hardian.testservice.TestBroadcastReceiver

Intent action = "com.hardian.testservice.ADD_DATA"

intent extras are,

1. "text"="test msg",
2. "source"= 1,

Run the following in command line.

adb shell "am broadcast -a com.hardian.testservice.ADD_DATA --es text 'test msg' --es source 1 -n com.hardian.testservice/.TestBroadcastReceiver"

Hope this helps.
