about activity

here is a way of reading it , is not pretty and must be done from a pc

D:\Android\apktool>aapt dump badging e:\svn\m9\system\app\Flashlight\Flashlight.apk | grep launchable-activity

output wold be like

launchable-activity: name='com.htc.flashlight.FlashlightActivity' label='Flashlight' icon=''

most likely if you have a windows machine you wont be able to do | grep launchable-activity to sort your output ( or you could install grep for windows)

anyway without the "| grep grep launchable-activity "

your output will be

D:\Android\apktool>aapt dump badging e:\svn\m9\system\app\Flashlight\Flashlight.apk

i've highlighted what interests you there

goes without saying that you need to replace path to aapt.exe with your own (android sdk has aapt) , same goes for apk path and name

i know is not pretty .. but for now is the best i can do. probably there are easier / better ways to grab it from shell but this is the one i have in mind now without java coding
