A Simple monkeyrunner Program

 

# Imports the monkeyrunner modules used by this program
from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevice

# Connects to the current device, returning a MonkeyDevice object
device
= MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection()

# Installs the Android package. Notice that this method returns a boolean, so you can test
# to see if the installation worked.
device
.installPackage('myproject/bin/MyApplication.apk')

# sets a variable with the package's internal name
package = 'com.example.android.myapplication'

# sets a variable with the name of an Activity in the package
activity
= 'com.example.android.myapplication.MainActivity'

# sets the name of the component to start
runComponent
= package + '/' + activity

# Runs the component
device
.startActivity(component=runComponent)

# Presses the Menu button
device
.press('KEYCODE_MENU', MonkeyDevice.DOWN_AND_UP)

# Takes a screenshot
result
= device.takeSnapshot()

# Writes the screenshot to a file
result
.writeToFile('myproject/shot1.png','png')

 

 

 

 

The monkeyrunner API

 

 

The monkeyrunner API is contained in three modules in the package com.android.monkeyrunner:

  • MonkeyRunner: A class of utility methods for monkeyrunner programs. This class provides a method for connecting monkeyrunner to a device or emulator. It also provides methods for creating UIs for a monkeyrunner program and for displaying the built-in help.
  • MonkeyDevice: Represents a device or emulator. This class provides methods for installing and uninstalling packages, starting an Activity, and sending keyboard or touch events to an application. You also use this class to run test packages.
  • MonkeyImage: Represents a screen capture image. This class provides methods for capturing screens, converting bitmap images to various formats, comparing two MonkeyImage objects, and writing an image to a file.

In a Python program, you access each class as a Python module. The monkeyrunner tool does not import these modules automatically. To import a module, use the Python from statement:

from com.android.monkeyrunner import <module>

where <module> is the class name you want to import. You can import more than one module in the same from statement by separating the module names with commas.

 

 

 

MonkeyRunner

A monkeyrunner class that contains static utility methods.

Summary

Methods

Displays an alert dialog to the process running the current program.
integer choice (string message, iterable choices, string title)
Displays a dialog with a list of choices to the process running the current program.
void help (string format)
Displays the monkeyrunner API reference in a style similar to that of Python's pydoc tool, using the specified format.
string input (string message, string initialValue, string title, string okTitle, string cancelTitle)
Displays a dialog that accepts input.
void sleep (float seconds)
Pauses the current program for the specified number of seconds.
MonkeyDevice waitForConnection (float timeout, string deviceId)
Tries to make a connection between the monkeyrunner backend and the specified device or emulator.

Public Methods

string alert ( string message, string title, string okTitle)

Displays an alert dialog to the process running the current program. The dialog is modal, so the program pauses until the user clicks the dialog's button.

Arguments
message The message to display in the dialog.
title The dialog's title. The default value is "Alert".
okTitle The text displayed in the dialog button. The default value is "OK".

integer choice (string message, iterable choices, string title)

Displays a dialog with a list of choices to the process running the current program. The dialog is modal, so the program pauses until the user clicks one of the dialog's buttons.

Arguments
message The prompt message displayed in the dialog.
choices A Python iterable containing one or more objects that are displayed as strings. The recommended form is an array of strings.
title The dialog's title. The default is "Input".
Returns
  • If the user makes a selection and clicks the "OK" button, the method returns the 0-based index of the selection within the iterable. If the user clicks the "Cancel" button, the method returns -1.

void help (string format)

Displays the monkeyrunner API reference in a style similar to that of Python's pydoc tool, using the specified format.

Arguments
format The markup format to use in the output. The possible values are "text" for plain text or "html" for HTML.

string input (string message string initialValue, string title, string okTitle, string cancelTitle)

Displays a dialog that accepts input and returns it to the program. The dialog is modal, so the program pauses until the user clicks one of the dialog's buttons.

The dialog contains two buttons, one of which displays the okTitle value and the other the cancelTitle value. If the user clicks the okTitle button, the current value of the input box is returned. If the user clicks the cancelTitle button, an empty string is returned.

Arguments
message The prompt message displayed in the dialog.
initialValue The initial value to display in the dialog. The default is an empty string.
title The dialog's title. The default is "Input".
okTitle The text displayed in the okTitle button. The default is "OK".
cancelTitle The text displayed in the cancelTitle button. The default is "Cancel".
Returns
  • If the user clicks the okTitle button, then the method returns the current value of the dialog's input box. If the user clicks the cancelTitle button, the method returns an empty string.

void sleep ( float seconds )

Pauses the current program for the specified number of seconds.

Arguments
seconds The number of seconds to pause.

MonkeyDevice waitForConnection (float timeout, string deviceId)

Tries to make a connection between the monkeyrunner backend and the specified device or emulator.

Arguments
timeout The number of seconds to wait for a connection. The default is to wait forever.
deviceId A regular expression that specifies the serial number of the device or emulator. See the topic Android Debug Bridge for a description of device and emulator serial numbers.
Returns
  • A MonkeyDevice instance for the device or emulator. Use this object to control and communicate with the device or emulator.

 

 

MonkeyDevice

A monkeyrunner class that represents a device or emulator accessible by the workstation running monkeyrunner.

This class is used to control an Android device or emulator. The methods send UI events, retrieve information, install and remove applications, and run applications.

You normally do not have to create an instance of MonkeyDevice. Instead, you use MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection() to create a new object from a connection to a device or emulator. For example, instead of using:

newdevice = MonkeyDevice()

you would use:

newdevice = MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection()

MonkeyImage

A monkeyrunner class to hold an image of the device or emulator's screen. The image is copied from the screen buffer during a screenshot. This object's methods allow you to convert the image into various storage formats, write the image to a file, copy parts of the image, and compare this object to other MonkeyImage objects.

You do not need to create new instances of MonkeyImage. Instead, use MonkeyDevice.takeSnapshot() to create a new instance from a screenshot. For example, use:

newimage = MonkeyDevice.takeSnapshot()

Summary

Methods
string convertToBytes (string format)
Converts the current image to a particular format and returns it as a string that you can then access as an iterable of binary bytes.
tuple getRawPixel (integer x, integer y)
Returns the single pixel at the image location (x,y), as an a tuple of integer, in the form (a,r,g,b).
integer getRawPixelInt (integer x, integer y)
Returns the single pixel at the image location (x,y), as a 32-bit integer.
MonkeyImage getSubImage (tuple rect)
Creates a new MonkeyImage object from a rectangular selection of the current image.
boolean sameAs (MonkeyImage other, float percent)
Compares this MonkeyImage object to another and returns the result of the comparison. The percent argument specifies the percentage difference that is allowed for the two images to be "equal".
void writeToFile (string path, string format)
Writes the current image to the file specified by filename, in the format specified by format.

Public Methods

string convertToBytes ( string format)

Converts the current image to a particular format and returns it as a string that you can then access as an iterable of binary bytes.

Arguments
format The desired output format. All of the common raster output formats are supported. The default value is "png" (Portable Network Graphics).

tuple getRawPixel (integer x, integer y)

Returns the single pixel at the image location (x,y), as an a tuple of integer, in the form (a,r,g,b).

Arguments
x The horizontal position of the pixel, starting with 0 at the left of the screen in the orientation it had when the screenshot was taken.
y The vertical position of the pixel, starting with 0 at the top of the screen in the orientation it had when the screenshot was taken.
Returns
  • A tuple of integers representing the pixel, in the form (a,r,g,b) where a is the alpha channel value, and r, g, and b are the red, green, and blue values, respectively.

tuple getRawPixelInt (integer x, integer y)
