Loops

Loops in Android Macro allow you to repeat a set of actions multiple times. They are essential for automating repetitive tasks efficiently.

Types of Loops​

1. Repeat Loop​

The repeat loop executes a set of blocks a specific number of times.

  • Specify how many times you want the actions to repeat
  • The blocks inside will execute that exact number of times

2. While Loop​

The while loop continues executing as long as a condition remains true.

  • The loop checks the condition before each iteration
  • Actions inside repeat until the condition becomes false
  • Be careful to ensure the condition will eventually become false to avoid infinite loops

3. For Loop​

The for loop is useful when you want to count through a range of numbers.

  • Specify the start number, end number, and step size
  • The counter variable can be used inside the loop
  • Useful for tasks that need to track progress

Example: Using a Repeat Loop​

Here's an example of using a repeat loop to tap the screen 5 times:

Tips for Using Loops​

  • Choose the appropriate type of loop for your task
  • Be careful with infinite loops - ensure there's a way for the loop to end
  • Use variables to track the state within loops when needed
  • Consider using wait blocks between iterations if needed
  • Test your loops with small numbers first before increasing iterations

Loops are powerful tools that can save you time by automating repetitive tasks. Practice using different types of loops to create more efficient macros!
