First of all, use

adb logcat

to see the package and the starting Activity name.. if you find these two for example package='pck.package' and activity = '.Main' then what you should write in your code, is:

package = 'pck.package'
activity = '.Main'
runComponent = package+'/'+activity
device.startActivity(component=runComponent)

in other words, you must use the package name as well in your code

Hope it helps

To be honest I have not yet understand what do you want to do... Maybe you should post some code of your class... :/ – Giannis Tzagarakis May 07 '14 at 10:12
You application class is not visible, so from monkeyrunner perspective, it doesn't exist. – Diego Torres Milano May 08 '14 at 14:17
You mean my application class is not exist and for this i can't see this? but this class is exist! – user3209380 May 10 '14 at 03:55
Have you declared your class? – Giannis Tzagarakis May 10 '14 at 12:20
