Hi Xiaocong,
Any luck on this issue?
Thanks

uiautomator package uses adb shell uiautomator runtest .. to start a jsonrpc server on device, but likely it conflicts with adb shell uiautomator events. I am sorry to say that now I have no good idea to resolve it.

This appears to work if i have "adb shell automator events" running in cmd and uiautomator jrpc server running in python. Couldn't this functionality be added as a thread that just watched for event changes? This is so far the only way I have been able to see toaster messages using uiautomator.

Think this is possible?

What device were you testing on? I tried several devices on both Android 4.2/4.4, the two commands uiautomator events and uiautomator runtest could not be run at the same time.

I'll play with it a little bit and try to get you an order of working events, if that helps.

I've messed with it, I think i'm now seeing what you are talking about with both of them not being able to run at the same time. Is there a way that I can manually disconnect uiautomator in a python script so i can run events then reconnect after i obtain the information from events that i need?

Please try d.server.stop()

from uiautomator.

I got it to work after stopping uiautomator. This will be awkward to use, but I think I can figure out a way to use them together with timed stops and what not.

To start it back up can I do, d.server.start() or d = uiautomator.Device() or....?

from uiautomator.

Any invoke of device method like d.info, 'd.press.home()', d(...).click() will start the server automatically.
