I have seen some sample code..

How to run this? what is the extension for saving the code?

Do I need to connect device and run from the cmd prompt?

Please tell me as i am very new to this.

Solution

You run monkeyrunner from your development computer with the device connected or emulator running.

Like:

$ monkeyrunner myscript.mr

If you are using Linux or OS X you can use a she-bang including this as the first line in the script

#! /usr/bin/env monkeyrunner

providing that monkeyrunner is in your PATH.
