Android Question [SOLVED] Launch Service and simulate tap

[Sabotto]

From my app, with these instructions, I can launch a service (OpenVPN) that allows me to connect to my VPN.

Dim i As Intent
i.Initialize(i.ACTION_MAIN, "")
i.SetComponent("de.blinkt.openvpn/.LaunchVPN")
i.PutExtra("de.blinkt.openvpn.shortcutProfileName", "VPN_Telecontrollo")
StartActivity(i)

The screen appears but then I have to "tap" manually on my profile.

In your opinion, it is possible to automate everything, that is to start the service and also start the profile (as if I had done tap manually?)
Thanks

2- Difficult to implement (It took us 2 weeks to implement it in our project Teamviewer Alternative) because you will need to exact X,Y of the screen to simulate the touches

Example by the amazing @moster67 :

Accessibility Services (assisting users with disabilities, automation etc)

This is a partial wrap/library for Android's Accessibility Services which you can read about here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityService Android's Accessibility Services is meant to assisting users with disabilities in using Android devices...

I was actually looking for something that could add some parameters or instructions to the ones I used to start the app and at the same time use that profile

Hello,

Because your question is :

(as if I had done tap manually? )

So check out the examples above and you will get better understanding of how does the AccessbilityService work and you can start from there.

Thank you,
