Reproduce Android Monkey Script

Question

I ran the Monkey tool (the tool to perform stress testing on Android application) and I got some script file that have this form:

type= raw events
count= -1
speed= 1.0
start data >>
LaunchActivity(com.amaze.filemanager,com.amaze.filemanager.activities.MainActivity)
DispatchPointer(6934862,6934862,0,517.0,124.0,0.0,0.0,0,1.0,1.0,0,0)
DispatchPointer(6934862,6934867,1,520.041,127.07279,0.0,0.0,0,1.0,1.0,0,0)
GUIGen(3)
DispatchTrackball(-1,6945789,2,1.0,-3.0,0.0,0.0,0,1.0,1.0,0,0)
...

I would like to re-execute such sequence of events again, using the produced script. How can I do that?

Just curious here, how where you able to get this script from the Monkey tool ? – Gulp

Do you want to loop your script file for a certain no of time? – Deflate

@Gulp I just run monkey from the command line, with a desired verbosity level and number of input, redirecting the output on a text file – Petiolate

You will need adb for the same. First you will create the file on your local

monkey.script

type= raw events
count= -1
speed= 1.0
start data >>
LaunchActivity(com.amaze.filemanager,com.amaze.filemanager.activities.MainActivity)
DispatchPointer(6934862,6934862,0,517.0,124.0,0.0,0.0,0,1.0,1.0,0,0)
DispatchPointer(6934862,6934867,1,520.041,127.07279,0.0,0.0,0,1.0,1.0,0,0)
GUIGen(3)
DispatchTrackball(-1,6945789,2,1.0,-3.0,0.0,0.0,0,1.0,1.0,0,0)

Then you will copy it to your phone

adb push ./monkey.script /sdcard/Download

And then you can run the script from adb

$ adb shell monkey -f /sdcard/Download/monkey.script 1

I checked the video, Actaully I need documentation for the command which I can use in my script – Everett

I checked the video, Actually I need documentation for the command which I can use in my script, like what does "GUIGen" command means and what is the meaning of count = -1 in your code. – Everett
