问题
I have read several posts online, including Android dev website http://developer.android.com/tools/help/monkeyrunner_concepts.html
I can't start an Activity through the startActivity method. I have tried several options. Here's an example code:
package = 'com.mydomain.mypackage'
activity = '.MyActivity'
runComponent = package + '/' + activity
device.startActivity(component=runComponent)
Also tried the following code:
package = 'com.mydomain.mypackage'
activity = 'com.mydomain.mypackage.MyActivity'
runComponent = package + '/' + activity
device.startActivity(component=runComponent)
But, nothing seems to launch the activity. I am expecting the money tool to start the activity meaning that I should be able to see the screen.
Any help shall be appreciated.
Thanks.

Well, I'm glad you have solved your problem, but it's not a general solution, so I'd like to add a few things for people that come looking for an answer here. It took me so long to figure this out myself, so I hope I can help someone to save time:
My package name (the value of the "package" attribute of the element in my AndroidManifest.xml, as you have also mentioned) is: com.companyname.android.tv
and my main(launcher) activity is: com.companyname.android.tv.TvActivity
still this one doesn't work:
package = 'com.companyname.android.tv'
activity = 'com.companyname.android.tv.TvActivity'
runComponent = package + '/' + activity
device.startActivity(component=runComponent)
then I tried to run the activity from android studio, which succeeds and check the logs. that's what I found:
Launching application: com.companyname.android_tv_app/com.companyname.android.tv.TvActivity.
so I tried this one, which worked:
package = 'com.companyname.android_tv_app'
activity = 'com.companyname.android.tv.TvActivity'
runComponent = package + '/' + activity
device.startActivity(component=runComponent)
"android_tv_app" is our application name. it's not written on your manifest file. it occurs only in one place, build.gradle file of app, like this:
applicationId "com.companyname.android_tv_app"
So if you keep failing with startActivity with monkeyrunner, you can try replacing your package name with application id. and it makes sense, since monkeyrunner is trying to tell the system: "go find this application, run this activity" and without application id, looks like it can't find the package either.
Probably most of the people have the same package name and application id, because wizard helps you to keep it that way, but when you rename your application and/or package names, it's not the case.

I fixed it...the solution was found here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-developers/FvlBxSmNrk0
For example, if your (the value of the "package" attribute of the element in your AndroidManifest.xml) is "com.example.test.application" and your main Activity class name "MainActivity" in the Java package "com.example.myapp" then the component name is
com.example.test.application/com.example.myapp.MainActivity
