hi,

 

I am trying to write a MonkeyRunner script to touch on the screen based on the location of Views/widgets.  No Matter what i try to do with views it throws me an exception as below

 

Jython 2.5.0 (Release_2_5_0:6476, Jun 16 2009, 13:33:26)
[Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (Oracle Corporation)] on java1.7.0_05
>>> from com.android.monkeyrunner import MonkeyDevice,MonkeyRunner
>>> device = MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection()
>>> device.getRootView()

Also is there a work around where i can directly access a wdiget instead of going through views. I would like to be able to check if widget for ex. Phone icon exists on homescreen and just touch it.
