I am emulating a Broadcast Intent via ADB Tool, One of the intents extras value is a JASON, The Jason string is broken after the first comma and I'm not getting the rest of the string.

The shell command I am using:

adb shell am broadcast -a com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE -n com.example.fx/com.example.fx.utils.gcm.GcmBroadcastReceiver --es "custom" "{"time":"2014-12-08T15:11:19,event_type":"m","event_id":"1418051429_1418051479"}"

The code I use to get the string from the intent :

String payload = intent.getStringExtra("custom");

The result I get:

 "time:2014-12-08T15:11:19"

Does anyone know why this happens and a way around it?

Thanks in advance

Had the same problem, solved it using Alex P.'s comment:

  1. Make sure you switch the " with ' and vice versa in you "raw" JSON strings.

  2. Make sure you're not using ` around your strings.

  3. Make sure that the outer-most "wrapper" of your string consists of '.

To summarize:

This didn't work:

... --es "data" "{'buttons': [{'interaction': 'open', 'label': 'Show'}, {'interaction': 'less', 'label': 'Less of this'}]}"

This did work:

... --es "data" '{"buttons": [{"interaction": "open", "label": "Show"}, {"interaction": "less", "label": "Less of this"}]}'

Shouldn't --es "data" '{"buttons": [{"interaction": "open", "label": "Show"}, {"interaction": "less", "label": "Less of this"}]' be --es "data" '{"buttons": [{"interaction": "open", "label": "Show"}, {"interaction": "less", "label": "Less of this"}]}'? I believe there should be a closing parenthesis.
@Firelord Thank you for pointing that out. At first glance it seems to me that you're right and it is in fact a typo. I'll test this later just to make sure and will edit my answer accordingly. If you tell me your version works for you while my doesn't - this could be sufficient "proof". I think this happened because my "data" contains other keys besides 'buttons' so I didn't close the JSON object....

I had the same problem and worked around it by first running adb -e shell, and then sending my broadcasts from that session.
