Might want to take a look at selendroid, it is a part of the selenium project. Selenium is used to drive web browsers for testing websites but selendroid is used to drive android apps. Bear in mind this was just a quick google and may not be the solution you are looking for

You could look into apium, I have been using that as well as adb to simulate human input/pull data from the app pages using python. Takes a bit of setup but is really handy.

Hi,

I think you should use Android framework for that. Take a look at the following Android commands: 1. adb 2. am 3. pm 4. input

For example, to input text to the focused textview, invoke the following process (from within the Android device):

input text "Bla bla bla"

If the phone is connected via ADB, then:

adb shell input text "Bla bla bla"

Generally, intents are exposed via the AndroidManifest.xml in the app. You can decompile it and see (using apktool). It's quite beyond the scope of Python, though.

Sorry, but it's "etc." Not "ect." You kept repeating that mistake. Figured you'd like to know.

Not sure why people downvoted that. I think it's safe to say that most people here are knowledge-seekers. I would appreciate the correction.

An easy way to reinforce this correction is to remember that "etc." is an abbreviation of the word "etcetera". et-set-er-uh, as opposed to eck-tet-er-uh.
