Test Automation: January 2015

We have prepared a batch file containing two major commands described as below :

1. adb shell getevent -c 200 > getevent.txt
       Description:
       The above command will create 200 events including the touch event given by user
   manually. The touch event given by user will be differentiated via 'event3'

How does getevent works ?

adb shell getevent ( connect device and use this command )

Which returns something like:

C:\>adb shell getevent
add device 1: /dev/input/event0
name: “qwerty2″
could not get driver version for /dev/input/mouse0, Not a typewriter
could not get driver version for /dev/input/mice, Not a typewriter

/dev/input/event0: 0001 0001 00000000
/dev/input/event0: 0003 0000 00000073
/dev/input/event0: 0003 0001 000000a8

/dev/input/event0: 0003 0001 00000014

/dev/input/event0: 0003 0001 00000000

/dev/input/event0: 0003 0001 00000000
/dev/input/event0: 0001 014a 00000001

Which returns everything in hexidecimal, but you can’t send these commands directly back, you had to convert them to decimal,

The actual X axis coordinates : 00000073

The actual Y axis coordinates : 000000a8

These coordinates needs to be changed to decimal using python and monkeyrunner

2. monkeyrunner.bat testcall3.py

Description :
This command will execute following functions :

a. Open the getevent text file

b. Search for the touch events ( eg., search for 'event3')
