Is it possible to simulate a click on the screen in Android? [duplicate]

Question

Is it possible to simulate a "click" (touch screen) by coordinates or on a view element?

Answer 1

It is possible to simulate touch events on android screen. If you have the coordinates of the view then you can generate touch events by using adb shell commands. For e.g-

adb shell input tap x y

where x and y are your coordinates. You can run this command from terminal. If you want to run the command from android code then use "/system/bin/ input tap x y" and run this by using Runtime.getRuntime() method. For details please reply, happy to help! :)
