Using ADB to access a particular UI control on the screen

Question

Is it possible for adb shell console to access an Android app\'s specific button using its id? or text?

I\'m trying to automate the button click on the dev

Answer 1

if me, i use python to do that, combine cmd command with subprocess.Popen, the script would be:

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE

import os

adbpath = r'YOUR ADB DIR'
adbfile = 'adb.exe'
adb = os.path.join(adbpath, adbfile)

def tap(a):
    cor = a
    t = Popen([adb, 'shell', 'input', 'tap', str(a[0]), str(a[1])])

#i give you extra script

def swipe(a, b):
     first = a
     last = b
     sab = Popen([adb, 'shell', 'input', 'swipe', str(first[0]), str(first[1]), str(last[0]), str(last[1]), '200'])

then when you have a button coord to tap just do this:

ok_coord = 122,137
tap(ok_coord)

when you want to swipe:

coord1 = 122,373
coord2 = 122,26
swipe(coord1, coord2)

to get the coordinate of button or a point, use 'uiautomatorviewer.bat' that exists in folder 'sdk\tools\bin'

or you can use apricot, erm3nda or Vinicius Dantas method,
