How to launch an app on the island from shell script or an action? about island HOT 2 CLOSED

If anyone has the same problem, I couldn't find a solution, but I found a workaround. Unfortunately it requires root.

The command that needs to be run is su -c "am start --user 10 -n your.app.package.name/.your.app.acitivity".
Example for SwiftBackup app: su -c "am start --user 10 -n org.swiftapps.swiftbackup/.intro.IntroActivity".

There should be a way to do that without root, because Island itself does not require root to launch an app (but launching an app as another user does), but nothing I tried worked.
The command that should be working is:
am start -a com.oasisfeng.island.action.LAUNCH_APP -d "app://[email protected]" -n com.oasisfeng.island/.shortcut.IslandAppShortcut$ShortcutLauncher
but the $ in the activity name gets stripped from the command for some reason.

If anyone has an idea how to make the non-root command work, please share.

I have the solution! I'm not the one who have come up with it though. TrianguloY from Lightning Launcher project is.

It looks like the double quotes were the problem. The command that works (without root) is this:
am start -a com.oasisfeng.island.action.LAUNCH_APP -d "app://[email protected]" -n 'com.oasisfeng.island/.shortcut.IslandAppShortcut$ShortcutLauncher'
The good thing is that you don't even have to know the default activity of the target app. Just replace the org.switftapps.swiftbackup part with the package name of your app, and it should work.
