Questions tagged [android-monkey]

Questions related to use of monkey, a command-line tool in Android that allows developers to generate pseudo-random streams of user events such as clicks, touches, or gestures, as well as a number of system-level events on emulator and devices.

The Monkey is a command-line tool that can be run on any emulator instance or on a device. It sends a pseudo-random stream of user events into the system, which acts as a stress test on the application software being developed.

The Monkey provides options that can be grouped into four primary categories:

  1. Basic configuration options, such as setting the number of events to attempt.
  2. Operational constraints, such as restricting the test to a single package.
  3. Event types and frequencies.
  4. Debugging options.
