Determine If Emulator Device Is In Use

Does anyone know what the method hasClients does in the android sdk? boolean com.android.ddmlib.IDevice.hasClients() It doesn't look like its documented. I am trying to find a way

Solution 1:

Have a look at this question to figure out if you are running in the emulator: How can I detect when an Android application is running in the emulator?

On a monkey-related point, you might want to have a look at Activity.isUserAMonkey() method (since API level 8, OS 2.2). The Google DeviceAdminSample code gives a brief explanation:

/**
 * If the "user" is a monkey, post an alert and notify the caller.  This prevents automated
 * test frameworks from stumbling into annoying or dangerous operations.
 */privatestatic boolean alertIfMonkey(Context context, int stringId) {
    if (ActivityManager.isUserAMonkey()) {
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
        builder.setMessage(stringId);
        builder.setPositiveButton(R.string.monkey_ok, null);
        builder.show();
        returntrue;
    } else {
        returnfalse;
    }
}
