Can't Get Androidviewclient Example Code To Run

AndroidViewClient is a github repo that allows you to call on views directly, without specifying exact coordinates with monkeyrunner. I'm having trouble actually using it though. N

Solution 1:

From AndroidViewClient wiki:

Installation AndroidViewClient does not require installation to be used. You only need to download the source distribution and set the environment variable ANDROID_VIEW_CLIENT_HOME or PYTHONPATH to allow the monkeyrunner interpreter to find the required modules.

Expand the downloaded ZIP file and set the environment variable accordingly.

Then if you are intending to run, for example dump.py the next step is:

monkeyrunner dump.py

Solution 2:

In dump.py changed:

from com.dtmilano.android.viewclientimportViewClient

to:

sys.path.append('C:\AndroidViewClient-master\AndroidViewClient-master\AndroidViewClient\src')
from com.android.monkeyrunnerimportMonkeyRunner, MonkeyDevicefrom com.dtmilano.android.viewclientimportViewClient

and it worked now. Here's a sample output from my app.
