Eclipse debugging - any way to pass in "extras" for launching intent?

I'm developing Activity which works on data passed in Intent in extras. This Activity is supposed to be launched by other activities in my app.

However, during development/debugging, I launch this Activity directly, and want to simulate extras in Intent (obtained from getIntent) to pass in desired testing params (sort of command-line parameters).

In Eclipse Run configurations, I can just select Launch action, but no additional data.

Is there some way? Or I must hardcode testing params in java, and not forget t开发者_C百科o comment them out when testing is finished?

I think eclipse is just using something comparable to the am start method to launch an application. You should be able to do this manually via adb and specify extras; then once you have it working from the command line you can put it behind a button using eclipse's extensibility features.

Here's a writeup found during a brief search: http://learnandroid.blogspot.com/2008/01/run-android-application-from-command.html

I think you may want to just write some proper tests for this purpose. Take a look at this: Android Testing fundamentals

You could then be running your test during development, which would launch the Activity as you want it.
