AndroidViewClient | Android ViewServer and ADB client | Automation library

I have x = 402 and y=201 I need to get text available at that specified coordinates using Androidviewclient can anyone help in solving this issue

I use AndroidViewClient in order to use MonkeyRunner through Python. I need to start the AVD programmatically and get notified when the AVD start process is completed. How can I catch that event? The execution just does not reach the line after the subprocess.run() function.

Here is how I start my AVD:

I'd like to compare the screen of my devices (many) so I'm using AndroidViewClient tool to get the hierarchy of my screens with the dump command in a terminal.

However, my devices are all linked with my computer at the same time, and the dump command seem to work on only one device. So when I use the command, I get the dump of the first device in the device list when I use adb devices.

My goal is to compare screens. So what I want is to specify which device I want to use for my dump in the terminal (and then doing it for all my devices to compare).

Is there a solution of this ? because the only solution I found yet is to make an adb -s [device serial_number] shell uiautomator dump, which offer the possibility to chose which device we want to use among those who are attached, but it produce an xml file (and this is why I need AndroidViewClient's dump, because I don't want the xml file).

In other words, is there a way to specify a device with the dump command in a terminal without disconnecting my USBs successively (keep only one device connected at the same time) ?

Thank you very much in advance !

I have Samsung Android 4.3 API 18 and using AndroidViewClient, the dump produces only android.webkit.WebView therefore it's not possible to get all the id's within this page. How Can I use Culebra to record the actions in the web page ?

Through the CulebraTester application on my device, I generated some python to simply open the settings application. When I went to run the script, I was greeted with

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'androidviewclient<12.4.0' distribution was not found and is required by the application

So then I realized that I didn't have the environment variable set, so I downloaded the project from Github and ran the command

export ANDROID_VIEW_CLIENT_HOME=/path/to/androidviewclient/

I'm confident I did this correctly because I can cd to $ANDROID_VIEW_CLIENT_HOME and view the contents. Now when I go back to run the script this same error appears, so I commented out pkg_resources.require('androidviewclient>=12.4.0') and was then presented with this error

ImportError: No module named com.dtmilano.android.viewclient

Right now I'm clueless about what to do, I tried googling, but I've found nothing to fix the problem. Some-what related I saw a video on youtube where curl was used to run javascript generated by CulebraTester so maybe the same can be done with Python?

Trying to use any culebra (AndroidViewClient) command returns following error:

$culebra -G

Is adb running on your computer?

Adb is debinitely running; "adb devices" lists connected device; "adb push", "adb pull","adb shell", all work fine.

Opening firewall, setting path, reinstalling AndroidViewClient, updating software make no difference.

A previous post "[androidviewclient - Can't connect to the device on vm with port forwarding][1]" concerns very similar error.

His solution (below) does not work for me:

Solved - I changed localhost back to 127.0.0.1 in hosts file and it solves an issue...

Any ideas?

androidviewclient - Can't connect to the device on vm with port forwarding

I have an AndroidViewClient script that is testing an activity. Clicking a button in my android app creates a new Activity instance. It seems like the ViewClient instance in my python script needs to be recreated after the new activity is launched - is that right? Something like this:

I have a button which launches a new Activity. Is there an API in AndroidViewClient to get the package and name of the current activity? Something like:

Is there any documentation on AndroidViewClient covering public classes, methods, and syntax?
