Gets the UiAutomation instance with flags set.

[Android.Runtime.Register("getUiAutomation", "(I)Landroid/app/UiAutomation;", "GetGetUiAutomation_IHandler", ApiSince=24)]
public virtual Android.App.UiAutomation? GetUiAutomation (Android.App.UiAutomationFlags flags);

[<Android.Runtime.Register("getUiAutomation", "(I)Landroid/app/UiAutomation;", "GetGetUiAutomation_IHandler", ApiSince=24)>]
abstract member GetUiAutomation : Android.App.UiAutomationFlags -> Android.App.UiAutomation
override this.GetUiAutomation : Android.App.UiAutomationFlags -> Android.App.UiAutomation

Parameters

flags: UiAutomationFlags

The flags to be passed to the UiAutomation, for example UiAutomation#FLAG_DONT_SUPPRESS_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICES, UiAutomation#FLAG_DONT_USE_ACCESSIBILITY.

Returns

UiAutomation

The UI automation instance.

Attributes: RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Gets the UiAutomation instance with flags set.

<strong>Note:</strong> The APIs exposed via the returned UiAutomation work across application boundaries while the APIs exposed by the instrumentation do not. For example, Instrumentation#sendPointerSync(MotionEvent) will not allow you to inject the event in an app different from the instrumentation target, while UiAutomation#injectInputEvent(android.view.InputEvent, boolean) will work regardless of the current application.

A typical test case should be using either the UiAutomation or Instrumentation APIs. Using both APIs at the same time is not a mistake by itself but a client has to be aware of the APIs limitations.

If a UiAutomation exists with different flags, the flags on that instance will be changed, and then it will be returned.

Compatibility mode: This method is infallible for apps targeted for Build.VERSION_CODES#R and earlier versions; for apps targeted for later versions, it will return null if UiAutomation fails to connect. The caller can check the return value and retry on error.
