I agree with Rama, sending keystrokes is nice, but it seems cumbersome when you really want to click something clickable in an activity. I only see sendKeys in InstrumentationTestCase.
Is there a "proper" way to simulate a button click using something in ActivityInstrumentationTestCase(2) or some other part of the testing framework? Is there a "sendClick" somewhere that we are missing? mark On Jul 7, 3:33 am, Raju <ramaraj...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Dianne, > > Thanks for the response, this solution solved my problem partially. > > By navigating to the required button by using sendkeys (trail and > error) then clicking on that button. > > My concern is, I'm developing a tool which should simulate user > actions on any application irrespective of controls' location in the > view. > > If we have the simulation methods like, xxxx.doClick(), or > xxxx.setFocus(), which may help the developers to simulate the user > actions in a better way. > > Can you give me, is there any alternative (other than > Instrumentation), if not, is it possible to enhance the API with > required simulation functions? > > Thanks, > Rama Raju. > > On Jul 6, 9:57 pm, Dianne Hackborn <hack...@android.com> wrote: > > > You use Instrumentation.
