How can I reliably simulate touch events on Android without root (like Automate and Tasker)?
(1 answer)
Closed 2 years ago.
Im working on an app, which would contain arrays which will have their intervals and I want to run the array so every interval, the app would run in the background and simulate a tap on the screen
Basically, the question is, if I can simulate the tap, and if yes, how
If you are running this as part of an instrumented test, that is very simple:
(need to add UiAutomator for this)
val device = UiDevice.getInstance(InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation())
device.click(X,Y)
If you want to click on the screen during a normal app run:

I want to open my app when some other app is opened.
Ex:
I want to open my game launcher when some game is opened and i want to draw over the other app
How can i make this in android studio? If you found any online article or videos attach the link down.
If you want to be notified of the execution of other applications, you must use AccessibilityService, by activating AccessibilityService, your app will be notified whenever a application is executed, this is the simplest and best solution for that.
You can also get permission Appear on top to draw on other apps or start an activity from your app instead of drawing, there is currently no other control solution.

How to make an android app to always run in background?

I'm developing an android java application,
I'm stuck on a point of how to run a function in the background even if the app is closed.
My goal is to get the user location every 30 minutes.
Thank you.
You can either use JobIntentService or WorkManager for running the task periodically.
JobIntentService
WorkManager Periodically
You can use Service to get user location while the application is in the background.
And for further implementation you can refer below link:-

I have a real device and an emulator. When i first install the app , the IDE asks me to select between the two but on subsequent runs it does not ask me to choose. How do i get it to ask me every time? I tried clicking on stop app , but the problem persists.
It's very easy. In android studio please click your app name dropdown showing at the top menu then click edit configurations and unselect use same device for future launches
You can change it from Run -> Edit Configuration -> Deployment Target Options
Make sure you are stopping your app before next run. (You can find stop option on the same tools section )

Show JFrame in a specific screen in dual monitor configuration

I work on a java application . When I tried to connect an external monitor to my laptop (to use it in extend screen mode) and tried to run the application from the extended monitor it still opens the application on my laptop window and not on the extended window. I am not really sure if I need to add a java code for this or is it something to do with Windows options. Basically everything , the error popups and everything come on the laptop window and not on the extended screen . Is there a way out to ensure the application and its popups come on the correct screen?
The position of windows on the monitors can be set by code.
If you use two monitors with extended desktop, you have to use positions, that match the second monitor.
Simple example:
You have two monitors, each with a resolution of 100x100 (for the sake of demonstration).
If you use the extended desktop, your desktop is of 200x100.
You need to set the windows x coordinate to be above 100 to be on the second monitor.
But be aware: If you switch back to only one monitor, the window will still be places at e.g. 150 and will be offscreen then.

I have an Android App
In my main activity I have a method, which is started when the user clicks a button.
I want to automate this method to run once a day
The method pulls in information and sends it to an local (phone) database.
I am unsure of the alarm service code.
Do I need to put my method into a service and call that at a specified time?
It sounds like you want your method to run every single day regardless of whether the application is open or not. In that case you will need to implement a service. See: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/services.html
