A UiObject is a representation of a view. It is not in any way directly bound to a
view as an object reference. A UiObject contains information to help it
locate a matching view at runtime based on the UiSelector
properties specified in
its constructor. Once you create an instance of a UiObject, it can
be reused for different views that match the selector criteria.

performMultiPointerGesture
boolean performMultiPointerGesture (PointerCoords... touches)
Performs a multi-touch gesture. You must specify touch coordinates for
at least 2 pointers. Each pointer must have all of its touch steps
defined in an array of MotionEvent.PointerCoords
. You can use this method to
specify complex gestures, like circles and irregular shapes, where each
pointer may take a different path.
To create a single point on a pointer's touch path:
PointerCoords p = new PointerCoords();
p.x = stepX;
p.y = stepY;
p.pressure = 1;
p.size = 1;
Parameters | |
---|---|
touches |
PointerCoords : represents the pointers' paths. Each MotionEvent.PointerCoords
array represents a different pointer. Each MotionEvent.PointerCoords in an
array element represents a touch point on a pointer's path. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if all touch events for this gesture are injected successfully,
false otherwise |
performTwoPointerGesture

Point : start point of pointer 1 |
startPoint2 |
Point : start point of pointer 2 |
endPoint1 |
Point : end point of pointer 1 |
endPoint2 |
Point : end point of pointer 2 |
steps |
int : the number of steps for the gesture. Steps are injected
about 5 milliseconds apart, so 100 steps may take around 0.5 seconds to complete. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if all touch events for this gesture are injected successfully,
false otherwise |
pinchIn
boolean pinchIn (int percent, int steps)

Parameters | |
---|---|
percent |
int : percentage of the object's diagonal length for the pinch gesture |
steps |
int : the number of steps for the gesture. Steps are injected
about 5 milliseconds apart, so 100 steps may take around 0.5 seconds to complete. |

Parameters | |
---|---|
percent |
int : percentage of the object's diagonal length for the pinch gesture |
steps |
int : the number of steps for the gesture. Steps are injected
about 5 milliseconds apart, so 100 steps may take around 0.5 seconds to complete. |

setText
boolean setText (String text)
Sets the text in an editable field, after clearing the field's content.
The UiSelector
selector of this object must reference a UI element that is editable.
When you call this method, the method sets focus on the editable field, clears its existing content, then injects your specified text into the field.
If you want to capture the original contents of the field, call getText()
first.
You can then modify the text and use this method to update the field.
Improvements: Post API Level 19 (KitKat release), the underlying implementation is updated to a dedicated set text accessibility action, and it also now supports Unicode.
Parameters | |
---|---|
text |
String : string to set |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if operation is successful |
Throws | |
---|---|

waitForExists
boolean waitForExists (long timeout)
Waits a specified length of time for a view to become visible. This method waits until the view becomes visible on the display, or until the timeout has elapsed. You can use this method in situations where the content that you want to select is not immediately displayed.
Parameters | |
---|---|
timeout |
long : the amount of time to wait (in milliseconds) |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the view is displayed, else false if timeout elapsed while waiting |
waitUntilGone
boolean waitUntilGone (long timeout)
Waits a specified length of time for a view to become undetectable.
This method waits until a view is no longer matchable, or until the
timeout has elapsed.
A view becomes undetectable when the UiSelector
of the object is
unable to find a match because the element has either changed its state or is no
longer displayed.
You can use this method when attempting to wait for some long operation
to compete, such as downloading a large file or connecting to a remote server.

---|---|
timeout |
long : time to wait (in milliseconds) |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the element is gone before timeout elapsed, else false if timeout elapsed but a matching element is still found. |
