Is there a way to get more clear information on Control UI?

I do have a couple of specific questions.

In an app, in this case Google Music. I want to

* Open The App (I know how to do this)
* Click somewhere near the bottom of the screen (which opens the current song) - not sure how to get it to click an area
* Select the three dots


The rest of my project involves clicking items with names so I can manage that.

Thanks

Have you read the help documentation? You can see it from [?] button in upper right corner. It has quite comprehensive list of functions and other info. With the helper overlay you can get the required coordinates.

The click function is obvious: click(x,y)

I'm not quite sure, what you mean by selecting three dots.

Yes I looked at the help but not it is not obvious.

I'm not clear what you mean about a helper overlay?

Since I want to click the bottom 1/6 of the screen, anywhere, I tried lots of click positions but nothing worked.

The three dots that appear on many Androdi screens, top right on Google Music for example, but on many other screens. I'm guessing it has a name.

Go to the Control ui settings. The most bottom button reads "Show overlay control". Press it. The press Info-button that appears on top of the screen. With the overlay on, tap the area of interest. You'll get popup with more information about the area.

Sometimes click(x,y) script fails, because Control Ui action can't be used for some apps or parts of them. In that case, try Execute Root Command action with "input tap x y". Provided your device supports the command, it will work anywhere and everywhere. However, your device must be rooted.
