Intents for a few devices about backgroundable-android

[dirkam]

This is great, thank you.

Do you happen to know if these activities can be started from 3rd party apps? Or did you have a chance to test these with adb? In many cases, these activities marked with exported = false, so your intent start will not work.

The activities listed above could all be opened by the shell user via adb shell am start. I don't know if that necessarily means they're available to other apps, or whether shell might have special privileges.

I did run into a lot of activities that I couldn't open; for example com.huawei.systemmanager/.power.PowerConsumeBackgroundActivity exists on all three Huawei devices I tested, but can only be opened by the shell user on the device running EmotionUI 2.0.

I guess details like which activities are exported may vary between models, even within a given major/minor OS version, as each model has its own build of the OS. So my results may not be very portable across models.

If you can tell me how to find out which activities are exported, I'd be happy to update my notes for the devices above. Until now I've just used the trial-and-error method of opening the power management UI manually, running dumpsys activity activities to find out which activity I'm looking at, then closing it and trying to relaunch it with am start. There's probably a better way. :-)
