Download Ui Automator Viewer Extra Quality

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to copy the complete styled text and image display from a DT Pro viewer or document window to the clipboard using Applescript? If I can get there I can get that into Tofu.
The most common problem is that the Java version is not compatible with uiautomatorviewer. In this case, you should install Java 8 (use only released by Oracle) and set the path to it in environment variables. How to do this, we discussed in the lesson Executing adb commands.
In some cases, which we'll talk about later in this tutorial, you won't be able to use the Developer Assistant because it can't display information about the system UI (notifications, dialogs, etc.). If you find yourself in such a situation that the Developer Assistant capabilities are not enough, and the Ui Automator Viewer failed to start, then there is a third option: run the adb shell command uiautomator dump.
For these purposes, Kaspresso has the Kautomator component - a wrapper over the well-known UiAutomator tool. Kautomator makes writing tests much easier, and also adds a number of advantages compared to UiAutomator, which you can read about in detail in the Wiki.
Further, all user interface elements will be instances of classes with the prefix Ui (UiButton, UiTextView, UiEditText...), and not K (KButton, KTextView, KEditText. ..) as it was before. The point is that we are currently testing another application and we need the functionality available in the Kautomator components.
Finding the id of the elements using the Layout Inspector or Developer Assistant will not work, because display of notifications belongs to the system UI. In this case, we will have to use one of two options: launch the Ui Automator Viewer and look through it, or run the adb shell uiautomator dump command.
In this lesson, we learned how to run tests for third-party applications, and also learned how you can test the system UI using UiAutomator, or rather its wrapper Kautomator. In addition, we got to know the programs that allow us to analyze the UI of applications, even if we do not have access to their source code: these are Ui Automator Viewer, Developer Assistant and UiAutomator Dump.
Connect your mobile to a PC and then tap the Device screenshot (uiautomator dump) second icon. The current screen of that device will be displayed as soon as it is finished running. You can get information about any element by clicking on it. Inspect the required UI elements section for a detailed explanation.
To use ui automator viewer, first launch the Android SDK Manager and install the UI Automator platform component. Then open the uiautomatorviewer tool from the Android SDK tools/ directory. Select the device you want to analyze in the Devices pane. Click the Start button at the top of the uiautomatorviewer tool window. In the device screen that appears, navigate to the UI element you want to analyze. Click on the element in the device screen to select it, then click the Inspect button in the tool window. The Properties pane shows the details of the selected UI element, including its resource ID, class name, and bounds.
When you click on one of the icons in the upper right corner of the window, it will generate a blank window. The first icon to appear on the left is a file browser. The second icon, on the right, will launch a file viewer from a computer if you choose a file from your computer. The first step is to choose the file you want to examine using the viewer. In that case, you can use the toolbar to navigate and inspect the UI elements. To save the file, press the Save button.
The uiautomatorviewer tool provides a convenient visual interface to inspect the layout hierarchy and view the properties of the individual UI components that are displayed on the test device. Using this information, you can later create uiautomator tests with selector objects that target specific UI components to test.
Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display application screen. Now just follow the steps mentioned at the top under the ui automator viewer section in order to perform ui testing on this application.
