Communicating two devices using uiautomator about uiautomator HOT 9 CLOSED

There are several ways:

• Use adb -s SLAVE_SERIAL shell am start with Intent.ACTION_CALL to make a call to the master device. Python has a lot of modules can do the system call.

• If you want to use uiautomator instead of am, you can write code like below (not yet released, the code is in develop branch):

  from uiautomator import Device
  slave = Device("SLAVE_SERIAL")
  master = Device("MASTER_SERIAL")
  some_method_to_make_call(slave)
  some_method_to_receive_call(master)
  

  If needed, you can make the two methods async or sync.

• Another choice is to use cloud voice API like http://plivo.com/. I didn't try it :(

Hi Xiaocong,

When are you releasing the code for connecting two devices using device consturctor passing the id of devices.
from uiautomator import device
slave = Device("SLAVE_SERIAL")
master = Device("MASTER_SERIAL")

from uiautomator.

Later of this week. For a workaround, you can download the uiautomator.py in develop branch to your local disk, and then run your script.

I am using the device with android 4.1 API 16, some of the functionality is not working ui automator. can you please provide your input what is wrong in this.
Is this device issue or script issue

from uiautomator.

error code -32002 means the UiObjectNotFound. If the ui selector can not find the specified ui object, it will raise error.

d(text='Clock').click()  # means click the 'Clock' text in current screen. If it doesn't exist, an exception will be raised.

You can use d(text='Clock').exists to check if the ui object exists in current screen.

There are some differences between API level 16/17/18. If you meet error code -32003, it means the method is not supported in your device.

from uiautomator.

i had executed d(text='Clock').click() on the screen where i am seeing the Clock application
and i tired to execute the d(text='Clock').exists it is returning False.
As though the object present in the screen i am getting as false. Also the method is supported.

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

Could you please use d.dump('screen.xml') and upload the xml here.

d.dump('screen.xml')

Likely UiAutomationService down. I am opening another issue #9 to track it. Thank @satishsn1
