TemperatureConverter sample

TemperatureConverter is a sample application used to demonstrated several testing techniques and features.

TemperatureConverterActivity extends LocalViewServerActivity enabling the use of AndroidViewClient, Culebra and other utilities even on devices with Secure mode enabled.

Device with secure mode enabled

If secure mode is enabled and you run this command line:

 (eval $(adb shell getprop | dos2unix | egrep '\[ro\.secure]|\[ro\.debuggable]' | sed 's/\./_/g; s/]: /=/g; s/[][]//g'); [[ 1 == $ro_secure && 0 == $ro_debuggable ]] && echo "System is secure: AVC won't work" || echo "System is not secure: AVC will work")

this is obtained:

System is secure: AVC won't work

Running TemperatureConverter

Running TemperatureConverter with LocalViewServer will circumvent this restriction, though for this sole application.

In such case you will be able to run:

$ dump.py

and obtain

android.widget.FrameLayout id/no_id/1 
   android.widget.LinearLayout id/no_id/2 
      android.widget.FrameLayout id/no_id/3 
         android.widget.TextView id/no_id/4 TemperatureConverter
      android.widget.FrameLayout id/no_id/5 
         android.widget.LinearLayout id/no_id/6 
            android.widget.TextView id/no_id/7 Enter the temperature to convert
            android.widget.TextView id/no_id/8 Celsius
            android.widget.EditText id/no_id/9 
            android.widget.TextView id/no_id/10 Fahrenheit
            android.widget.EditText id/no_id/11 
            android.widget.TextView id/no_id/12 

monitor

When an application supporting LocalViewServer is running on the device, monitor will be able to obtain the View hierarchy even if the device is in secure mode and does not support UiAutomator.

The following screenshot shows monitor displaying the TemperatureConverterActivity with LocalViewServer enabled.
