Android Monkey: "No activities found to run, monkey aborted"

admin · Oct 10, 2022

My package is named com.mywebsite.banana.

<ul>
<li>I want to have a seed, so the test is repeatable: -s 13</li>
<li>I want to have a fairly low-level of verbosity: -v</li>
<li>I want to run 500 psuedo-random commands: 500</li>
</ul>

I'm calling monkey like this:

Code:

adb shell monkey -s 13 -p com.mywebsite.banana -v 500

My output:

Code:

:Monkey: seed=13 count=500
:IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.LAUNCHER
:IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.MONKEY
No activities found to run, monkey aborted

My AndroidManifest.xml has this in it:

Code:

&lt;categoy android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/&gt;

What am I doing wrong? Is there something I need to add to my app before running the monkey? The main activity is located in com.mywebsite.banana - is that the correct path to be passed in, or should it go all the way to the activity like this: com.mywebsite.banana.activityName?

From what I've read, it seems as though I'm doing this correctly:

Attempt 1:

Code:

adb shell monkey -p com.mywebsite.banana -c intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER -v 500

Result 1:

Code:

:Monkey: seed=13 count=500
:AllowPackage: com.mywebsite.banana
:IncludeCategory: intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER  
// Warning: no activities found for category intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER
** No activities found to run, monkey aborted

Attempt 2:

Code:

adb shell monkey -p com.mywebsite.banana -c android.intent.category.MONKEY -v 500

Result 2:

Code:

:Monkey: seed=13 count=500
:AllowPackage: com.mywebsite.banana
:IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.MONKEY 
No activities found to run, monkey aborted

Attempt 3:

Code:

adb shell monkey -p com.mywebsite.banana -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER -c android.intent.category.MONKEY -v 500

Result 3:

Code:

:Monkey: seed=13 count=500
:AllowPackage: com.mywebsite.banana
:IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.LAUNCHER
:IncludeCategory: android.intent.category.MONKEY 
No activities found to run, monkey aborted

Some of the manifest:

Code:

&lt;activity
        android:name="com.mywebsite.banana.FRCActivity"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
        android:label="@string/app_name" &gt;
        &lt;intent-filter&gt;
            &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt;
            &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt;
        &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
        &lt;intent-filter&gt;
            &lt;action android:name="none" /&gt;
            &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/&gt;
        &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
&lt;/activity&gt;

Also tried this version of the manifest, with no change:

Code:

    &lt;activity
        android:name="com.mywebsite.banana.FRCActivity"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"
        android:label="@string/app_name" &gt;
        &lt;intent-filter&gt;
            &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt;
            &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt;
            &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/&gt;
        &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
&lt;/activity&gt;
