 Here is another Android quick tip for you to use today. Today we're going to be looking at entering an application settings menu from the shell. So on the left my desktop computer hooked to my phone which is on the right with ADB. Let me go ahead and show you if I was to pull down from the top here and go into settings I can go to applications. I have recent applications but then I can also say see all applications. I can find an application considering like my camera here. I'll click on that and that brings me into this application info menu. So how do I get there a little bit quicker? Well another way a lot of launchers if you go into the app drawer I could long hold on one of these icons and say app info and it brings me there. But how can I get to this screen from the shell without going through all those menus so I can script it out or just have some shortcuts on my computer. This is how you do it. Let me make this full screen here so you can see we're going to do ADB shell and then from there we're going to run a command AM which allows you to start an application. You can start any application using AM. So we're saying AM start dash A and then we're doing android.settings.application details settings. There'll be notes links in the description to all this so you can copy and paste and save this yourself. In this particular case I want to go to my package and then you need the package name in this case launcher which is my launcher. So let's go ahead and bring up my screen again with this one command I can go ahead and click that and it brings me right into there. Now I can use something like as I've talked about in previous videos I can say ADB shell PM list packages and when I do that it will list all packages. Then of course if I kind of know the name so again I can go grep lawn for this and I can get the name of launcher or if you're a little more advanced and you have fcf installed I can use fuzzy finders so I can run this and I can find an application so I can say like lineage os and I can choose one so I know jelly is my browser as I went over that in a previous video I click that and now I have that so now I can take this make this full screen again go back to that previous command and replace this package colon for launcher and I can put in that name and now when I hit enter it will bring up the app info for that browser and now you can also combine those commands if you're familiar at all with the shell and the power of the shell is I can take this fuzzy finder command and here I can erase the package name and just in quotation, dollar sign, parentheses I can put in that command and now when I hit enter it will list all my packages I can type in one like let's just say lineage os and I can pick one from the list I know aperture is my camera from my previous video on this topic and from there I can hit enter and it will bring up that app info and of course you can alias this to something shorter so this is just something that if you're seeing at your computer don't want to reach for your phone but you want to bring that screen up real quick you can just have this alias to something and you can do something like that and then just choose which one that you want to open and it should open up the app info for that so that's just a little quick tip for you you might find useful I do thank you for watching please visit filmsbychrist.com that's Chris the K there's a link in the description and there you can find all my video search through them you can also support me and see applications and notes that I've written on everything and of course there's links in the descriptions to the stuff we just went over today I do thank you for watching and as always I hope that you have a great day
