Hi, 

As per the DynoDroid User Guide, Android Sources can be modified to support DynoDroid. I am keen on running DynoDroid on newer versions of Android (as GingerBread is pretty dated by now). 

Are there plans to update DynoDroid to support newer versions of Android? 

I looked at the patch file which documents the changes made to the original Android 2.3.5 sources for DynoDroid support and it seems like the latest Android sources have changed quite a fair bit since then and I'm not sure if it's practical to attempt a port manually. 

Any wisdom on this matter will be much appreciated.

As of now, we don't have plans to port the current version of DD to
newer version of Android.
IMO, this requires a bit of understanding into DD sources.

However, we made changes to UIAutomator (Available in Android 4.0+) to
integrate Dynodroid into it.
We modified sources of uiautomator
(<androidSourcesRootFolder>/frameworks/testing/uiautomator).
Attached are the modified sources. Extract the sources and replace
<androidSourcesRootFolder>/frameworks/testing/uiautomator with the
extracted contents.
Attached are the changes.

uiautomator works with device and emulator. It runs in the device and
thus will be faster.

Using dynodroid with uiautomator (emulator):

1) install the required app. (adb install <apk>)
2) get the package name of the app (by using AndroidManifest.xml)
3) adb shell uiautomator autoTest <appPackageName> <strategyNumber>
<numberOfEvents>

strategyNumber: 1(Random Pick), 2(Random Bias), 3(Frequency).




Thanks,
Aravind
