installEventHandler (Android)
installEventHandler(eventName, handlerFunctionNameOrReference)
This function installs a global event handler. The script function named or referenced in handlerFunctionNameOrReference, will be called when an event of the eventName type occurs.
The eventName can be the name of any of the following event types:
- BannerShown occurs when an
android.widget.Toastis shown - DialogOpened occurs when an
android.app.AlertDialogis shown - Vibrate occurs when the app calls the Android API function
android.os.Vibrator.vibrate
The function named in handlerFunctionName is called with one argument—the object that was shown.
Note: In Python scripts, you can specify the callback function to invoke by passing an actual function or a lambda function.
For examples see How to Use Event Handlers.
Note: The installEventHandler function will only work if it is called after the AUT has been hooked up, for example, by using the ApplicationContext startApplication(autName) function.
uninstallEventHandler(eventName, handlerFunctionNameOrReference)
This function uninstalls an event handler that has been previously installed using installEventHandler(eventName, handlerFunctionNameOrReference).
