MonkeyRunner actually has a small example of doing this in it's own source code:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/sdk.git;a=blob;f=monkeyrunner/src/com/android/monkeyrunner/controller/MonkeyController.java;h=ca3195c15ca45735bd971c9c4f56b9e97fe9b94d;hb=HEAD IMonkeyBackend adb = new AdbBackend(); IMonkeyDevice device = adb.waitForConnection(); And you can see the IMonkeyDevice source here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/sdk.git;a=blob;f=monkeyrunner/src/com/android/monkeyrunner/core/IMonkeyDevice.java;h=9c06ec49fc291ffe331d20f3472dffb41539024b;hb=HEAD And see that it has a bunch of methods on it like "takeSnapshot", "touch", "drag", etc. Hopefully that's enough to get you started.
