Can anyone tell me how to automate finger slides?

[Rocco Minniti]

Is this possible to do with Tasker? I would like to automate some finger movements to see if I can do anything cool. Maybe another app is needed to do it? I have no idea, I can't seem to find a setting for this

If you're rooted, you can do single, straight lines using shell script:

input swipe x1 y1 x2 y2

Where x1 y1 are the starting coordinates, x2 y2 are the ending coordinates. You can turn on pointer location in developer settings (phone settings, not tasker) to get the coordinates.

Otherwise, there are apps that can do it, but I haven't tried any to see if you can do more complex movements, but I assume you can.

joaomgcd (the maker of the AutoX tasker plugins) has autotouch in beta. Otherwise you can do like luke said and do input tap x y for taps and input swipe x1 y1 x2 y2 for swipes. I have an example of a touch profile that is working on reddit here (doesn't use any swipes): http://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/1iq64t/how_to_simple_app_bot/

I'm the developer of RepetiTouch which requires root. Only the paid pro version has a Tasker plugin. However, RepetiTouch is intended for complex or longer actions which are recorded while you perform them and then replayed. For simple click/swipe actions I recommend using the method via the "input" command Luke mentioned.

Thanks a lot, all of you for your responses. All of them were good, as they would all do what I want. But I am gonna take both the easy way and support Reptitouch because I tried the free version and it does serve my needs very easily. I know my response is slow, I just didn't get around to trying anything out. But thanks again, I appreciate it
