Touch certain parts of screen action

[qsgsg]

Hi is it possible for this app to simulate a touch action as a normal person would on a particular area of a screen?

Yes, with "control ui" action.

Thanks. Does this function require Rooting the phone?

When in doubt, always read the help section. Martin has made that quite newbie friendly. You can find from there that it needs at least JB(4.1) and relies on accessibility service. There's no need for root.

Sorry just read it and enabled accessibility. I just tried the function but on my Android 4.3 device but it doesnt work. Trigger> Launch App> sleep(1500) ; click (973,1844) which is the bottom right of my screen but it fails to register. Weird thing is i tried it on whatsapp and it works fine.

Using my Spen doesn't work for this particular app , only finger touches work. Using the Show Overlay Control and activating it when i'm on the desired app screen , the green box covers the entire screen which is unlike other apps like evernote,speed test, etc. Is this a bug?

What app are you trying it on? I have observed the same behavior with my banking application but considering it has full access to my bank accounts, I haven't bothered to write any bug reports. Maybe you should?

Tried on many Apps. Trying to collect my daily Reward from Bingo Bash for the fun of it but it doesn't work. Those Apps that fail to work seem to be "Flash-based".

Automagic requires that the regular Android controls are used in an app so that Android has enough information about the controls and can properly inform Automagic about the screen contents.
Flash-based apps and apps that paint all the controls on their own like Games usually don't work since the apps don't provide the required information to Android. Apps can also request that some controls are used in a secure context (like the banking app) which will hide the controls from Automagic.
If this is the case, it might only be possible to send input events using action Execute Root Command: input tap 973 1844.
