Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
android_list_devicesA

List connected Android devices and emulators with name, Android version, and connection type. Auto-discovers wireless-debugging devices via mDNS when the list is empty.

android_connect_wifiA

Connect to an Android device over WiFi ADB. Accepts HOST or HOST:PORT (port defaults to 5555). The device must have wireless debugging or 'adb tcpip 5555' enabled.

android_device_infoA

Get details of a device: model, Android version, SDK level, screen size, orientation, battery level, and the current foreground app.

android_list_appsA

List installed apps that have a launcher activity (package names).

android_launch_appA

Launch an app by package name. Use android_list_apps to find package names.

android_terminate_appB

Force-stop a running app by package name.

android_install_appC

Install an APK file on the device.

android_uninstall_appA

Uninstall an app from the device by package name.

android_take_screenshotA

Take a screenshot of the device screen and return it as an image. Use android_list_elements first when you need coordinates of UI elements. Do not cache this result.

android_save_screenshotB

Take a screenshot and save it to a PNG file on this computer.

android_list_elementsA

List UI elements on the current screen with text, accessibility labels, resource ids, and pixel coordinates. Use this to find where to tap. Do not cache this result.

android_wait_for_elementA

Wait until a UI element appears on screen. Use this instead of a fixed sleep when content loads dynamically. Returns element info and center coordinates when found.

android_tapA

Tap the screen at x,y pixel coordinates. Use android_list_elements to find element coordinates.

android_tap_elementA

Find a UI element by selector and tap its center. More reliable than coordinate taps for dynamic layouts. Waits for the element to appear (default 5s).

android_double_tapB

Double-tap the screen at x,y pixel coordinates.

android_long_pressC

Long-press the screen at x,y pixel coordinates.

android_swipeC

Swipe in a direction. Starts from screen center by default, or from given x,y coordinates.

android_dragA

Drag from one point and drop at another (uses a slow swipe that triggers drag behavior).

android_type_textA

Type text into the currently focused input field. Tap the field first. ASCII only (adb limitation).

android_press_keyA

Press a hardware or navigation key. Common keys: BACK, HOME, ENTER, MENU, APP_SWITCH, POWER, VOLUME_UP, VOLUME_DOWN, DELETE, TAB, DPAD_UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER. Any Android KEYCODE_* name or numeric keycode also works.

android_open_urlB

Open a URL in the default browser on the device.

android_open_notificationsA

Expand the notification shade to inspect notifications. Use android_list_elements or android_take_screenshot afterwards to read them, and BACK key to close.

android_set_orientationA

Set the screen orientation (disables auto-rotate).

android_start_recordingA

Start recording the device screen in the background. Stop it with android_stop_recording. Max duration is 180 seconds (Android limit).

android_stop_recordingA

Stop the active screen recording, pull the video from the device, and save it as an .mp4 file on this computer.

android_logcatA

Read recent device logs. Useful for debugging apps (Flutter, React Native, native). The 'crash' buffer contains crash reports.
