Purpose

UIAutomator is a great tool to perform Android UI testing, but to do it, you have to write java code, compile it, install the jar, and run. It's a complex steps for all testers...

This project is to build a light weight jsonrpc server in Android device, so that we can just write PC side script to write UIAutomator tests.

Build

Run command:

  $ ./gradlew build
  $ ./gradlew packageDebugAndroidTest

Run the jsonrcp server on Android device

  $ ./gradlew cC
  $ adb forward tcp:9008 tcp:9008 # tcp forward

How to use

from uiautomator import device as d

d.info
d.screen.on()
d(text="Settings").click()
d(scrollable=True).scroll.vert.forward()
d().gestureM((100,200),(100,300),(100,400)).to((100,400),(100,400),(100,400),100)

Refer to python wrapper library uiautomator.
