How to click a view of android program through MonkeyRunner?

I want to use MonkeyRunner to test the compatibility of my android program for a list of devices with different screen resolutions. I need to click a view, but the view is not in the same position for different resolutions. How can I get the position of it or do something else to click it? NEED your help!

Solution

  • I know it's a little late, but you can use hierarchyviewer in android sdk to get the view id.

    Then, in your script, use this: 

    from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevice  
from com.android.monkeyrunner.easy import EasyMonkeyDevice, By  

device = MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection()  
easy_device = EasyMonkeyDevice(device)  

# Start your android app

# touch the view by id

easy_device.touch(By.id('view_id'), MonkeyDevice.DOWN_AND_UP)

    Later edit: thanks to dtmilano and AndroidViewClient, I was able to do the clicks on views as needed. The link is here: https://github.com/dtmilano/AndroidViewClient
