Ask HN: Programmatically Control an App Within an Emulator

by otto_ortega on 8/14/17, 10:50 PM with 2 comments

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a way to programmatically control an app within an emulator, like creating a macro to launch an app, open a given activity within it, input some text and get back the information from it.

Does any body know if something like this is possible?

thanks.

    Certainly yes.

    We need to know what kind of app, what kind of emulator, etc. to give you a helpful answer.

    Which operating system does the app run in usually? ("app" can mean so many things)
