Android JB 4.2.2 and Monkeyrunner script to make call

Question

I am using Jelly Bean 4.2.2 on my device and trying to make a call using Monkeyrunner script. I am using the below code which was working on ICS very well but in JB, it doesn't type the phone number in the edit text box once the key dialer screen is opened.. Does anyone experience this issue?

device.startActivity(component='com.android.contacts/com.android.contacts.activities.DialtactsActivity')

device.type("8888888888")

The following works on JB so I am not stuck atleast. Now curioes why the above command doesn't work on JB. — user2344495, May 13 '13 at 05:58
device.startActivity(action ='android.intent.action.CALL', data= 'tel:8888888888') — user2344495, May 13 '13 at 05:59

The intent alternative is the correct one for many cases, however if you really want to simulate a real user dialing a number you can use this culebra script slightly edited from autogenerated to add the dialNumber method and other minor things:

#! /usr/local/bin/shebang monkeyrunner -plugin $AVC_HOME/bin/androidviewclient-$AVC_VERSION.jar @!
