Virtully push a button in a app

Post by fiets » 23 May 2013 14:44

Hi,

Is it possible to open an app and then push a button on the screen of that app (all virtually of course).
This way i can start an app en answer the first question of that app (like turn on GPS yes button /no button)

thanks...

Yes. With the condition "confirm dialog". You can see an exemple here:

This is not what I mean.

I don't want to ask a question on the screen but I want automagic anwer a question on the screen which is put there by an app that is statted.

There is that action that simulates touches on screen. That might be one solution but it works only on 4.x and up. I can't give you any further advice because I have only gingerbread.

Hi,

That is exactly what I mean. But I can't find it as an activity.
Does it exist?

Thanks in advance.

The action is "control UI" but i can't try it either (gingerbread). If it work could you tell me because a friend want me to help him do something like that.

Hi,

Older devices require root to press buttons and to enter text.

See following posts as a starting point for rooted devices:
http://automagic4android.com/forum/view ... f=5&t=1825 especially the command "input keyevent" and the DPAD events.
and
http://automagic4android.com/forum/view ... =tap#p2437 (input tap probably requires Android 4.1)

Not all commands work on all Android devices/version but "input keyevent" seems to be available on most devices.

Regards,
Martin
