Swipe screen Xiaomi Poco 5X remotely

Question

Setup:

• Xiaomi Poco 5X dev phone with remote access adb to it.
• Vyzor installed however can only view screen because Xiaomi requires additional debugging flags be enabled

Problem: The phone only requires a swipe to unlock. I manage to turn on the screen with :

adb -s XXXXX shell svc power stayon true

However, when trying to swipe :

adb -s XXXXX shell "input touchscreen swipe 126 459 913 472"
Exception occurred while executing 'touchscreen':
java.lang.SecurityException: Injecting to another application requires INJECT_EVENTS permission

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can try something like this swipe example from AndroidViewClient/culebra

#! /usr/bin/env python3

from com.dtmilano.android.viewclient import ViewClient

helper = ViewClient.view_client_helper()


helper.ui_device.swipe(segments=[(300, 300), (600, 1200), (600, 300), (300, 300)], segment_steps=50)

of course you need to adapt the coordinates.

Here is the result from previous command when Keep is the top activity (so we can actually see it drawing)
