  <p>I am trying to launch an app through adb in my Android phone. I have tried <code>adb getevent</code>. But it dumps so many events. </p>
  
  <p>How can I make out which one I need? Is there any other way I can launch the app? </p>
  
  <p>I am looking to launch video. There is no separate video apk. It is in camera apk only. I was able to launch camera through adb as: </p>
  
  <p><code>am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.camera/.CameraEntry</code></p>
  
  <p>The camcorder icon is next to snap icon in camera. I was able to control snap icon thru 
  input keyevent 23. But unable to figure out how to launch video which is next to snap icon</p>
