Ok, Mark. What I was trying to do was, actually, an application similar to monkey, but not so random, something that I could customize. In fact, my goal was to build something more like a Remote Desktop, since I would access other parts of the OS then my own Activity. In Windows Mobile, this featur

I agree with Joaquim Azevedo, there are really good reasons why some functionality like this should (and perhaps it does) exist. For example, I could have an application to monitor the activities being performed in my system (at first, just the basic ones, like UI interaction), so I could just log
