Start activity command

Starts an Android activity on the device. Android applications are composed of a series of "Activity" units. Each Activity presents a UI screen that allows users to perform some part of the application, such as call a number, take a photo, send an email, or view a map. When testing the application, it may be desirable to start the application execution from a specific Activity, rather than the initial Activity (usually referred to as the .Main).

Applications can be large and complex, written by many development teams. The start activity and sync activity commands enable a tester to start and sync a specific activity on the device and decreases the time it takes to write a test, allowing more coverage in a dynamic environment where time to develop tests is short.
