Point

Points in Android Macro are fundamental building blocks used to specify screen coordinates and gesture parameters. There are two types of points available: basic Points and SwipePoints.

Types of Points​

1. Basic Point​

A basic Point represents a single location on the screen using x and y coordinates.

Parameters:

  • x: The horizontal coordinate (pixels from left)
  • y: The vertical coordinate (pixels from top)

Basic Points are commonly used with click operations:

2. SwipePoint​

A SwipePoint extends the basic Point with additional parameters for gesture control.

Parameters:

  • x: The horizontal coordinate (pixels from left)
  • y: The vertical coordinate (pixels from top)
  • holdDuration: How long to hold before starting the swipe (milliseconds)
  • swipeDuration: How long the swipe motion should take (milliseconds)

SwipePoints are used in pairs to define swipe gestures:

Tips for Using Points​

  • Use screen coordinates that are appropriate for your device's resolution
  • For swipes, ensure the holdDuration and swipeDuration are long enough to be recognized
  • Test points with different coordinate values to ensure reliability
  • Consider using variables to store frequently used points
  • Remember that (0,0) is at the top-left corner of the screen
