One indirect way is:-

adb shell uiautomator dump /data/view.xml
adb shell cat /data/view.xml

calculate OK button coordinates from the relative coordinates given in the xml file. Then do

adb shell input tap <x> <y>

Hope works.

I have tried in almost all customer platforms except LG,It worked well.I am not sure about yours. Androidviewclient is another way. – Rilwan Jul 13 '13 at 09:06

run java -jar androidviewclient-2.3.25.jar culebra --verbose --verbose-comments --find-views-with-text=true --output=myscript.py
edit myscript.py and add vc.findViewWithTextOrRaise('Cancel').touch() at the end (you can delete the unnecessary finds too)
