Introduction

Cerium: A Toy for Android Automation

Cerium is an Android automation framework for Python, safe for human consumption.

Behold, the power of Cerium:

>>> from cerium import AndroidDriver
>>> driver = AndroidDriver()
>>> driver.unlock(1997)   # unlock your device by password
>>> driver.auto_connect()   # connect to your device via TCP/IP automatically
Now you can unplug the USB cable, and control your device via WLAN.
>>> driver.view_packgets_list(keyword='tencent')
['com.tencent.mm', 'com.tencent.android.qqdownloader', 'com.tencent.tim']
>>> driver.make_a_call(18268237856)   # call me

Cerium allows you to send organic, grass-fed commands, without the the need for manual labor.

Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile command line tool that lets you communicate with an emulator instance or connected Android-powered device. This project is based on it.

Supported Python Versions

• Python 3.6+

Supported Platforms

• Windows 10 (Other platforms have not been tested and are not intended to be supported for the time being officially)

Installation

If you have pip on your system, you can simply install or upgrade cerium:

pip install -U cerium

Alternately, you can download the source distribution from PyPI, unarchive it, and run:

python setup.py install

Or by github.com:

git clone [e-mail]:fjwCode/cerium.git
cd cerium
python setup.py install

Note: You may want to consider using virtualenv to create isolated Python environments.

Android Debug Bridge

Cerium requires Android Debug Bridge Tool to with the chosen android device. And Cerium contains Android Debug Bridge by default. You don't need to set the environment variable by yourself.

Quickstart

• List connected android devices or simulator.
• Show the version of Android Debug Bridge.

from cerium import AndroidDriver

driver = AndroidDriver()

print(driver.devices())
print(driver.devices_l())  # show devices and models

print(driver.version())

• Copy local files/directories to device.
• Copy files/directories from device.
• Taking a screenshot of a device display, then copy it to your computer.

from cerium import AndroidDriver

driver = AndroidDriver()

driver.push(local='README.md', remote='/sdcard/README.md')
driver.pull(remote='/sdcard/README.md', local='README.md')

driver.pull_screencap(local='screencap.png')

• Simulate finger click.
• Simulate finger slide.
• Input text.

from cerium import AndroidDriver

driver = AndroidDriver()

driver.click(100, 100)
driver.swipe(100, 200, 100, 100, duration=100)
driver.send_keys("I'm White Turing.")
