android osmand api with am commands

Question

on my android phone I want to control osmand using the osmand api. To send the intents I want to use the am command available in adb shell or termux.

I am able to start osmand with am start net.osmand.plus/net.osmand.plus.activities.MapActivity

In my first test I just want to stop the navigation (command: STOP_NAVIGATION).

First I tried am start -a stop_navigation -n net.osmand.plus/net.osmand.plus.activities.MapActivity. The result was Starting: Intent { act=stop_navigation cmp=net.osmand.plus/.activities.MapActivity } Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front, which makes sense.

Then I tested some broadcast commands, e.g.:

• am broadcast -a stop_navigation -n net.osmand.plus/net.osmand.plus.activities.MapActivity
• am broadcast osmand.api://stop_navigation

I also tested it with capital letters. But no command was successful.

Is there someone which has more experiences with android intents and / or osmand api and can help me how to create a working command?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I already found the solution, it was simpler than expected. Maybe I can help someone with the solution:

The command am start osmand.api://pause_navigation is enough.

BTW: termux-open osmand.api://pause_navigation does also work.
