Extract command from logcat Android-TV

0

I am trying to extract the command that is called when I click a particular button on Android TV, Eventually I want to add it to an app, but for now I am just looking to call it via ADB for testing.

10-14 10:18:16.654  5058  5058 D SourceElementCallback: onElementClick position:7

it looks like this is the action that is called? how would call that through ADB?

sourceUri:content://android.media.tv/passthrough/com.mediatek.tvinput%2F.hdmi.HDMIInputService%2FHW5

You have to call the activity manager am in the following way:

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d content://android.media.tv/passthrough/com.mediatek.tvinput/.hdmi.HDMIInputService/HW5 -n org.droidtv.playtv/.PlayTvActivity -f 0x10000000

Considering that the intent contains extra (see (has extras)), then the command above might be extended a bit in order to add this additional information as well.

The tricky part is to understand the key name and type to pass to the activity manager (I'm referring to "device id" that seems the data provided as extras).

Supposing this is an int value then you have to append:

--ei device-id-key 5

it works with the %2F :-)
