For the listview part, I found it. I used performItemClick. But for generating keystrokes, nothing seems to work. I tried using onKeyDown and onKeyUp, but it just doesn't do anything (and I need to generate the key strokes from the application).
The only thing that seemed to have a result is activity.dispatchKeyEvent. But that seems to only work within the focused view. Like if the view with the focus is a listview, it will jump from listitem to listitem upon generating the Key UP and Key DOWN events. However, if I want to jump from an edittext to another edittext, it will do nothing. As if it stays within the focused view... Anyone knows the correct way to do this? Or a workaround? Thanks. (I'm making something for test automation purposes that is recording and copying what a user is doing on the emulator. Like if a use presses "DOWN" on his keyboard, the focus will jump from a widget to another. Sadly, I can't find anything that does the same thing programmatically.)
