AndroidViewClient and system Settings app

Question

So I'm trying to automate the Security > Screen Lock > None option, but I seem to be having a bit of trouble getting AndroidViewClient to "select" the Screen Lock option which takes you to the next menu to select your screen. Here's the code:

device, serialno = ViewClient.connectToDeviceOrExit(serialno=devices[input])
print("Modifying settings...")
    device.startActivity(settings_uri) 
    vc = ViewClient(device, serialno)

    # Disable screen lock
    vc.findViewWithTextOrRaise("Security").getParent().getParent().touch()
    MonkeyRunner.sleep(3)
    vc.findViewWithTextOrRaise(re.compile('Screen lock')).touch()

which causes the following exception:

130614 18:09:43.547:S [MainThread] [com.android.monkeyrunner.MonkeyRunnerOptions] Script terminated due to an exception

Any ideas as to what the issue is?

Answer 1

I figured out what the problem was. You have to call vc.dump() every time the stuff on screen changes.
