How to run apk from commandline in emulator

问题:

How do I start an apk on the emulator from the console? I wasn't able to find the correct command.

I have an Ubuntu running in a VM and there the emulator. I now try to install (adb install App.apk -works!) and run it from commandline.

Thanks in advance!

to install:

adb -e install -r "your-apk-file-complete-path"

Now to run:

am [start|instrument]
am start [-a <action>] [-d ] [-t <mime_type>]
[-c <category> [-c <category>] ...]
[-e <extra_key> <extra_value> [-e <extra_key> <extra_value> ...]
[-n <component>] [-D] [<uri>]
am instrument [-e <arg_name> <arg_value>] [-p <prof_file>]
[-w] <component>

sample launch code

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n
