MonkeyTalk Click on ActionBar home button

Is there a way how to click on action bar Home button (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html)?

I tried 

Label ${myHomeId} Tap

I just receive

Completed Script Playback - OK

but nothing happens... the activity is supposed to get back to the home screen.

The same for clicking on Menu Settings is working: 

Label menu_settings tap

Is it a bug?

Solution

  • It can be clicked using the ADB command:

    adb shell input tap 100 100

    MonkeyTalk script looks like this:

    #tap_actionbar_home.mt
Vars * Define x y
System * Exec adb shell input tap ${x} ${y}

    The it is call from another script using:

    Script tap_actionbar_home.mt Run 100 100

    The values 100 and 100 may differ of course.
