  • did you read the result of `am`? – njzk2 Feb 02 '15 at 20:57

  • why? I am just asking what does the command do, what is it for? I just read it in a blog and I didn't understand it ! I don't want to know the result, just why do we use it?! – Ayham Najem Feb 02 '15 at 21:01

Basically it'll tell am (Activity manager) to start an Activity.
