uiautomator

build Coverage Status pypi downloads

This module is a Python wrapper of Android uiautomator testing framework. It works on Android 4.1+ simply with Android device attached via adb, no need to install anything on Android device.

from uiautomator import device as d

d.screen.on()
d(text="Clock").click()

Installation

$ pip install uiautomator

Pre-requirements

  • Install Android SDK, and set ANDROID_HOME environment to the correct path.
  • Enable ADB setting on device and connect your android device using usb with your PC.

import uiautomator

  • If ANDROID_SERIAL is defined in environment, or there is only one device connected:

    from uiautomator import device as d

  • Speficy the serial number when retrieving the device object

    from uiautomator import Device

d = Device('014E05DE0F02000E')

Notes: In below examples, we use d represent the android device object.

}

Key Event Actions of the device

  • Turn on/off screen

    # Turn on screen
d.screen.on()
# Turn off screen
d.screen.off()

    Alternative method is:

    # wakeup the device
d.wakeup()
# sleep the device, same as turning off the screen.
d.sleep()

  • Press hard/soft key

    # press home key
d.press.home()
# press back key
d.press.back()
# the normal way to press back key
d.press("back")
# press keycode 0x07('0') with META ALT(0x02) on
d.press(0x07, 0x02)

  • Next keys are currently supported:

    • home
    • back
    • left
    • right
    • up
    • down
    • center
    • menu
    • search

    • delete(or del)
    • recent(recent apps)
    • volume_up
    • volume_down
    • volume_mute
    • camera
    • power

    You can find all key code definitions at Android KeyEvent.

Gesture interaction of the device

  • Click the screen

    # click (x, y) on screen
d.click(x, y)

  • Swipe

    # swipe from (sx, sy) to (ex, ey)
d.swipe(sx, sy, ex, ey)
# swipe from (sx, sy) to (ex, ey) with 10 steps
d.swipe(sx, sy, ex, ey, steps=10)

  • Drag

    # drag from (sx, sy) to (ex, ey)
d.drag(sx, sy, ex, ey)
# drag from (sx, sy) to (ex, ey) with 10 steps
d.drag(sx, sy, ex, ey, steps=10)

Screen Actions of the device

  • Retrieve/Set Orientation

    The possible orientation is:

    • natural or n
    • left or l
    • right or r
    • upsidedown or u (can not be set)
    # retrieve orientation, it may be "natural" or "left" or "right" or "upsidedown"
orientation = d.orientation
# set orientation and freeze rotation.
# notes: "upsidedown" can not be set until Android 4.3.
d.orientation = "l" # or "left"
d.orientation = "r" # or "right"
d.orientation = "n" # or "natural"

  • Freeze/Un-Freeze rotation

    # freeze rotation
d.freeze_rotation()
# un-freeze rotation
d.freeze_rotation(False)

  • Take screenshot

    # take screenshot and save to local file "home.png", can not work until Android 4.2.
d.screenshot("home.png")

  • Dump Window Hierarchy

    # dump the widown hierarchy and save to local file "hierarchy.xml"
d.dump("hierarchy.xml")

  • Open notification or quick settings

    # open notification, can not work until Android 4.3.
d.open.notification()
# open quick settings, can not work until Android 4.3.
d.open.quick_settings()

  • Wait for idle or window update

    # wait for current window to idle
d.wait.idle()
# wait until window update event occurs
d.wait.update()

Watcher

You can register watcher to perform some actions when a selector can not find a match.

  • Register Watcher

    When a selector can not find a match, uiautomator will run all registered watchers.

    • Click target when conditions match
    d.watcher("AUTO_FC_WHEN_ANR").when(text="ANR").when(text="Wait") \
                             .click(text="Force Close")
# d.watcher(name) ## creates a new named watcher.
#  .when(condition)  ## the UiSelector condition of the watcher.
#  .click(target)  ## perform click action on the target UiSelector.
    • Press key when conditions match
    d.watcher("AUTO_FC_WHEN_ANR").when(text="ANR").when(text="Wait") \
                             .press.back.home()
# Alternative way to define it as below
d.watcher("AUTO_FC_WHEN_ANR").when(text="ANR").when(text="Wait") \
                             .press("back", "home")
# d.watcher(name) ## creates a new named watcher.
#  .when(condition)  ## the UiSelector condition of the watcher.
#  .press.<keyname>.....<keyname>.()  ## press keys one by one in sequence.
#  Alternavie way defining key sequence is press(<keybname>, ..., <keyname>)

  • Check if the named watcher triggered

    A watcher is triggered, which means the watcher was run and all its conditions matched.

    d.watcher("watcher_name").triggered
# true in case of the specified watcher triggered, else false

  • Remove named watcher

    # remove the watcher
d.watcher("watcher_name").remove()

  • List all watchers

    d.watchers
# a list of all registered wachers' names

  • Check if there is any watcher triggered

    d.watchers.triggered
#  true in case of any watcher triggered

  • Reset all triggered watchers

    # reset all triggered watchers, after that, d.watchers.triggered will be false.
d.watchers.reset()

  • Remvoe watchers

    # remove all registered watchers
d.watchers.remove()
# remove the named watcher, same as d.watcher("watcher_name").remove()
d.watchers.remove("watcher_name")

  • Force to run all watchers

    # force to run all registered watchers
d.watchers.run()

Selector

Selector is to identify specific ui object in current window.

# To seleted the object ,text is 'Clock' and its className is 'android.widget.TextView'
d(text='Clock', className='android.widget.TextView')

Selector supports below parameters. Refer to UiSelector java doc for detailed information.

  • text, textContains, textMatches, textStartsWith
  • className, classNameMatches
  • description, descriptionContains, descriptionMatches, descriptionStartsWith
  • checkable, checked, clickable, longClickable
  • scrollable, enabled,focusable, focused, selected
  • packageName, packageNameMatches
  • resourceId, resourceIdMatches
  • index, instance

Child and sibling UI object

  • child

    # get the child or grandchild
d(className="android.widget.ListView").child(text="Bluetooth")

  • sibling

    # get sibling or child of sibling
d(text="Google").sibling(className="android.widget.ImageView")

  • child by text or description or instance

    # get the child match className="android.widget.LinearLayout"
# and also it or its child or grandchild contains text "Bluetooth"
d(className="android.widget.ListView", resourceId="android:id/list") \
 .child_by_text("Bluetooth", className="android.widget.LinearLayout")

# allow scroll search to get the child
d(className="android.widget.ListView", resourceId="android:id/list") \
 .child_by_text(
    "Bluetooth",
    allow_scroll_search=True,
    className="android.widget.LinearLayout"
  )

    • child_by_description is to find child which or which's grandchild contains the specified description, others are the same as child_by_text.

    • child_by_instance is to find child which has a child UI element anywhere within its sub hierarchy that is at the instance specified. It is performed on visible views without scrolling.

    See below links for detailed information:

    • UiScrollable, getChildByDescription, getChildByText, getChildByInstance
    • UiCollection, getChildByDescription, getChildByText, getChildByInstance

    Above methods support chained invoking, e.g. for below hierarchy

    <node index="0" text="" resource-id="android:id/list" class="android.widget.ListView" ...>
  <node index="0" text="WIRELESS & NETWORKS" resource-id="" class="android.widget.TextView" .../>
  <node index="1" text="" resource-id="" class="android.widget.LinearLayout" ...>
    <node index="1" text="" resource-id="" class="android.widget.RelativeLayout" ...>
      <node index="0" text="Wi‑Fi" resource-id="android:id/title" class="android.widget.TextView" .../>
    </node>
    <node index="2" text="ON" resource-id="com.android.settings:id/switchWidget" class="android.widget.Switch" .../>
  </node>
  ...
</node>

    settings

    We want to click the switch at the right side of text 'Wi‑Fi' to turn on/of Wi‑Fi. As there are several switches with almost the same properties, so we can not use like d(className="android.widget.Switch") to select the ui object. Instead, we can use code below to select it.

    d(className="android.widget.ListView", resourceId="android:id/list") \
  .child_by_text("Wi‑Fi", className="android.widget.LinearLayout") \
  .child(className="android.widget.Switch") \
  .click()

  • relative position

    Also we can use the relative position methods to get the view: left, right, top, bottom.

    • d(A).left(B), means selecting B on the left side of A.
    • d(A).right(B), means selecting B on the right side of A.
    • d(A).up(B), means selecting B above A.
    • d(A).down(B), means selecting B under A.

    So for above case, we can write code alternatively:

    ## select "switch" on the right side of "Wi‑Fi"
d(text="Wi‑Fi").right(className="android.widget.Switch").click()

  • Multiple instances

    Sometimes the screen may contain multiple views with the same e.g. text, then you will have to use "instance" properties in selector like below:

    d(text="Add new", instance=0)  # which means the first instance with text "Add new"

    However, uiautomator provides list like methods to use it.

    # get the count of views with text "Add new" on current screen
d(text="Add new").count

# same as count property
len(d(text="Add new"))

# get the instance via index
d(text="Add new")[0]
d(text="Add new")[1]
...

# iterator
for view in d(text="Add new"):
    view.info  # ...

    Notes: when you are using selector like a list, you must make sure the screen keep unchanged, else you may get ui not found error.

Get the selected ui object status and its information

  • Check if the specific ui object exists

    d(text="Settings").exists # True if exists, else False
d.exists(text="Settings") # alias of above property.

  • Retrieve the info of the specific ui object

    d(text="Settings").info

    Below is a possible result:

    { u'contentDescription': u'',
  u'checked': False,
  u'scrollable': False,
  u'text': u'Settings',
  u'packageName': u'com.android.launcher',
  u'selected': False,
  u'enabled': True,
  u'bounds': {u'top': 385,
              u'right': 360,
              u'bottom': 585,
              u'left': 200},
  u'className': u'android.widget.TextView',
  u'focused': False,
  u'focusable': True,
  u'clickable': True,
  u'chileCount': 0,
  u'longClickable': True,
  u'visibleBounds': {u'top': 385,
                     u'right': 360,
                     u'bottom': 585,
                     u'left': 200},
  u'checkable': False
}

  • Set/Clear text of editable field

    d(text="Settings").clear_text()  # clear the text
d(text="Settings").set_text("My text...")  # set the text

Perform the click action on the seleted ui object

  • Perform click on the specific ui object

    # click on the center of the specific ui object
d(text="Settings").click()
# click on the bottomright corner of the specific ui object
d(text="Settings").click.bottomright()
# click on the topleft corner of the specific ui object
d(text="Settings").click.topleft()
# click and wait until the new window update
d(text="Settings").click.wait()

  • Perform long click on the specific ui object

    # long click on the center of the specific ui object
d(text="Settings").long_click()
# long click on the bottomright corner of the specific ui object
d(text="Settings").long_click.bottomright()
# long click on the topleft corner of the specific ui object
d(text="Settings").long_click.topleft()

Gesture action for the specific ui object

  • Drag the ui object to another point or ui object

    # notes : drag can not be set until Android 4.3.
# drag the ui object to point (x, y)
d(text="Settings").drag.to(x, y, steps=100)
# drag the ui object to another ui object(center)
d(text="Settings").drag.to(text="Clock", steps=50)

  • Swipe from the center of the ui object to its edge

    Swipe supports 4 directions:

    • left
    • right
    • top
    • bottom
    d(text="Settings").swipe.right()
d(text="Settings").swipe.left(steps=10)
d(text="Settings").swipe.up(steps=10)
d(text="Settings").swipe.down()

  • Two point gesture from one point to another

    d(text="Settings").gesture((sx1, sy1), (sx2, sy2)) \
                  .to((ex1, ey1), (ex2, ey2))

  • Two point gesture on the specific ui object

    Supports two gestures:

    • In, from edge to center
    • Out, from center to edge
    # notes : pinch can not be set until Android 4.3.
# from edge to center. here is "In" not "in"
d(text="Settings").pinch.In(percent=100, steps=10)
# from center to edge
d(text="Settings").pinch.Out()

  • Wait until the specific ui object appears or gone

    # wait until the ui object appears
d(text="Settings").wait.exists(timeout=3000)
# wait until the ui object gone
d(text="Settings").wait.gone(timeout=1000)

  • Perform fling on the specific ui object(scrollable)

    Possible properties:

    • horiz or vert
    • forward or backward or toBeginning or toEnd
    # fling forward(default) vertically(default) 
d(scrollable=True).fling()
# fling forward horizentally
d(scrollable=True).fling.horiz.forward()
