I'm attempting to use AutoInput with Tasker to start the head unit server in Android Auto. I have most of the steps needed however I can't seem to figure the element ID or Text element of the hamburger menu on the main AA page. Steps should be: Launch AA Click "hamburger" <-- Missing Click "About" Click 3 dots ("More options") Click "Start head unit server" I found a task that uses the Snackbar plugin called Task Assist to query the elements however it does not see the hamburger or the microphone. Here is what it found: APP NAME Android Auto APP PACKAGE com.google.android.projection.gearhead TEXT ELEMENTS - (3 TOTAL) 1. 1:38 2. Thursday, June 20 3. 1:38 ELEMENT ID's - (3 TOTAL) 1. com.google.android.projection.gearhead:id/stream_time 2. com.google.android.projection.gearhead:id/stream_date 3. com.google.android.projection.gearhead:id/vn_sys_clock ELEMENT COORDINATES - (3 TOTAL) 1. 539,683 2. 539,961 3. 69,33
Figured it out. I just ended up finding the coordinates of the menu and using a click point action. I'm sure there may be some pitfalls to doing it this way, like screen rotation but it's working for now.
