uiautomator2 is an Android device automation tool and UI testing library. It functions as a framework for automating user interface interactions and managing device states via a remote client.
The project provides a remote management interface for controlling Android applications, simulating user gestures, and managing system settings. It enables the analysis of XML UI hierarchies to locate interface elements and verify application behavior.
The tool covers broad capability areas including application lifecycle management, device connectivity, and file system operations. It also includes system interface controls for the clipboard and notification panels, as well as display management for orientation and screen captures.
The framework utilizes a client-server agent architecture and HTTP-based remote procedure calls to execute commands on target devices.
