Android Emulator Skill

Build, test, and automate Android applications using accessibility-driven navigation and structured data instead of pixel coordinates.

Quick Start

# 1. Check environment
bash scripts/emu_health_check.sh

# 2. Launch app
python scripts/app_launcher.py --launch com.example.app

# 3. Map screen to see elements
python scripts/screen_mapper.py

# 4. Tap button
python scripts/navigator.py --find-text "Login" --tap

# 5. Enter text
python scripts/navigator.py --find-type EditText --enter-text "[email protected]"

All scripts support --help for detailed options and --json for machine-readable output.

Common Patterns

Auto-Device Detection: Scripts target the single connected device/emulator if only one is present, or require -s <serial> if multiple are connected.

Output Formats: Default is concise human-readable output. Use --json for machine-readable output.

Requirements

Android SDK Platform-Tools (adb, fastboot)
Android Emulator
Java / OpenJDK
Python 3

Key Design Principles

Semantic Navigation: Find elements by text, resource-id, or content-description.

Token Efficiency: Concise default output with optional verbose and JSON modes.

Zero Configuration: Works with standard Android SDK installation.
