Remarks

Class for interacting with the device's UI by simulation user actions and introspection of the screen content. It relies on the platform accessibility APIs to introspect the screen and to perform some actions on the remote view tree. It also allows injecting of arbitrary raw input events simulating user interaction with keyboards and touch devices. One can think of a UiAutomation as a special type of android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService which does not provide hooks for the service life cycle and exposes other APIs that are useful for UI test automation.

The APIs exposed by this class are low-level to maximize flexibility when developing UI test automation tools and libraries. Generally, a UiAutomation client should be using a higher-level library or implement high-level functions. For example, performing a tap on the screen requires construction and injecting of a touch down and up events which have to be delivered to the system by a call to #injectInputEvent(InputEvent, boolean).

The APIs exposed by this class operate across applications enabling a client to write tests that cover use cases spanning over multiple applications. For example, going to the settings application to change a setting and then interacting with another application whose behavior depends on that setting.

Fields

FlagDontSuppressAccessibilityServices	Obsolete. UiAutomation suppresses accessibility services by default.
FlagDontUseAccessibility	Obsolete. UiAutomation uses the accessibility subsystem by default.
RotationFreeze0	Obsolete. Rotation constant: Freeze rotation to 0 degrees (natural orientation)
RotationFreeze180	Obsolete. Rotation constant: Freeze rotation to 180 degrees .
RotationFreeze270	Obsolete. Rotation constant: Freeze rotation to 270 degrees .
RotationFreeze90	Obsolete. Rotation constant: Freeze rotation to 90 degrees .
RotationFreezeCurrent	Obsolete. Rotation constant: Freeze rotation to its current state.
RotationUnfreeze	Obsolete. Rotation constant: Unfreeze rotation (rotating the device changes its rotation state).

Properties

Class	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`. (Inherited from Object)
Handle	The handle to the underlying Android instance. (Inherited from Object)
JniIdentityHashCode	(Inherited from Object)
JniPeerMembers
PeerReference	(Inherited from Object)
RootInActiveWindow	Gets the root `AccessibilityNodeInfo` in the active window.
ServiceInfo	Gets the an `AccessibilityServiceInfo` describing this UiAutomation. -or- Sets the `AccessibilityServiceInfo` that describes how this UiAutomation will be handled by the platform accessibility layer.
ThresholdClass	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. (Inherited from Object)
ThresholdType	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. (Inherited from Object)
WindowAnimationFrameStats	Gets the window animation frame statistics.
Windows	Gets the windows on the screen associated with the `UiAutomation` context (usually the `android.view.Display#DEFAULT_DISPLAY default display).` <p> This method returns only the windows that a sighted user can interact with, as opposed to all windows. <p> For example, if there is a modal dialog shown and the user cannot touch anything behind it, then only the modal window will be reported (assuming it is the top one). For convenience the returned windows are ordered in a descending layer order, which is the windows that are higher in the Z-order are reported first. <p> <strong>Note:</strong> In order to access the windows you have to opt-in to retrieve the interactive windows by setting the {@link AccessibilityServiceInfo#FLAG_RETRIEVE_INTERACTIVE_WINDOWS</code> flag.
WindowsOnAllDisplays	Gets the windows on the screen of all displays.

Wait()	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>. (Inherited from Object)
Wait(Int64, Int32)	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. (Inherited from Object)
