activity-finder 0.1.2

Resolve Android app labels to launch activities via adb and aapt

Activity Finder

中文文档

Resolve Android app display names (labels) to their launch activities via adb and aapt.

Installation

pip install activity-finder

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/jaxonister/activity_finder.git
cd activity_finder
pip install -e .

Prerequisites

• Python >= 3.10
• Android SDK Platform Tools (adb on PATH)
• Android SDK Build Tools (aapt). Set AAPT_PATH env var, or ensure it's discoverable via ANDROID_HOME.

Usage

CLI

# Search by label
activity-finder "Keep"

# With custom aapt path
activity-finder --aapt /path/to/aapt "WeChat"

# Disable cache
activity-finder --no-cache "Keep"

# Verbose output
activity-finder -v "Keep"

Python API

from activity_finder import AppInfoFinder, AppCache

cache = AppCache(db_path="apps.db")
finder = AppInfoFinder(cache=cache)

# Fuzzy match: "云盘" matches "中国移动云盘", "百度网盘", etc.
results = finder.resolve_label_to_package("云盘")
for r in results:
    print(f"{r['label']}  {r['package']}  {r['activity']}")

cache.close()

How It Works

1. Lists all installed packages via adb shell pm list packages
2. Pulls each APK and reads labels via aapt dump badging
3. Matches labels against the keyword (substring/fuzzy match)
4. Returns all matching apps with label, package name, and launch activity
5. Caches results in SQLite to speed up subsequent searches
