How do I stop the monkey madness?

Question

I\'m using the monkey tool to run a test of my Android application. For example, I might do a run like the following:

adb shell monkey -p com.myapp -v 10000         


        

Answer 1

[Nitpick] You're confusing monkeyrunner with monkey.

The monkeyrunner tool is not related to the UI/Application Exerciser Monkey, also known as the monkey tool. The monkey tool runs in an adb shell directly on the device or emulator and generates pseudo-random streams of user and system events. In comparison, the monkeyrunner tool controls devices and emulators from a workstation by sending specific commands and events from an API.

[/Nitpick]

On my Android 2.2 device when I start monkey, I see a process started in DDMS by the name "?" (just a question mark). When I killed that process, the monkey madness stopped.
