POST /devices/:id/events/:event

Trigger a low-level touch-related interaction. The client is expected to write a JSON object with event-related properties which control the trigger details.

Valid event types and their JSON properties:

• doubletap
  • x, X-axis coordinate
  • y, Y-axis coordinate
• drag
  • x, X-axis coordinate to start drag
  • y, Y-axis coordinate to start drag
  • endX, X-axis coordinate to end drag
  • endY, Y-axis coordinate to end drag
  • duration, time in milliseconds for drag to elapse
• keydown
  • code, keycode for the key press
• keyup
  • code, keycode for the key release
• reset, needs no parameters
• sleep
  • duration, time in milliseconds to wait before next event invocation. Useful when triggering many events in a single request.
• tap
  • x, X-axis coordinate
  • y, Y-axis coordinate

Example:

curl \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -X POST \
  'http://localhost:8080/devices/abcdef0123456789/events/tap' \
  --data-binary '{"x":100,"y":200}'

# Will upload script.sh to /data/local/script.sh with executable permissions
curl \
  -X PUT
  -F 'upload=@script.sh'
  -F 'mode=+x'
  'http://localhost:8080/devices/abcdef0123456789/files?filepath=/data/local/script.sh'
