I'm building a script to automate some stuff on my Android emulator I'm currently using pyautogui to do it tho it would be nice if there was some sort of way I can directly interact with the emulator without it relying on my mouse
I know there's an option using ADB but that requires the android to be rooted
a lot of android emulators like Nox, Bluestacks, LDplayer have built-in macros that don't require the device to be rooted.
How do these emulators send commands to the emulator is that something I can tap into and send commands through that instead?
Answer: These emulator run on virtual machines their macro is sending input command from the virtual machine input API

I have a requirement to Automate scripts on iOS devices using the Robot framework/Python on the Windows platform.
What are all things I required in order to achieve this task?
You can't set up everything you need on Windows for iOS device. Instead you need to use macOS.
Maybe the answers here would be helpful.
No you can't automate any iOS scripts from windows system . The main requirement for iOSDriver to communicate with appium scripts and to your iOS device requires xcode app . Which is not there onto windows .
Appium can automate iOS device tests via WebDriverAgent.
WebDriverAgent can be run through multiple open source multi-platform tools from Windows:
go-ios
tidevice
others...
You will need Xcode to first build WDA though before you can deploy it to a device. Once it is installed on the device ( until the signing expires at least ) you can run WDA from any OS ( Mac, Windows, Linux ) using the various tools.
When I connect my android phone to a (Windows) desktop via a USB cable, I would like to automate downloading photos and other files from the phone to the desktop by using a script, preferably Python, but C# would do.
Is there a ready package available for this task? If not, what is the way to access the file system on the phone? How to get to the phone data using Windows system API?
ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge; it is the official command line tool and provides shell terminal access to Android phones that has allowed developer debug access.
There seems to be 3rd-party python API for this.

I am working on a minecraft world space that can interact with a terminal shell and run commands on the computer directly. I intend to use not just the vanilla server but maybe craftbukkit or spigot.
Is it possible to create a listener on minecraft server.jar and wait for a certain command which executes a script on the computer itself?
Is there a plugin out there made for this purpose?
You can create a new plugin for Bukkit/Spigot (more information here).
In the onCommand-Method you can then call Runtime.getRuntime().exec("your shell command") to run commands in the linux shell (can also be used on Windows servers).
See also the Java documentation.
I am developing a console application to manage firewall devices from a unix server. The console application is based on npyscreen library of python.
One of the options I need to provide to the users is login to the device CLI from the TUI thats developed using npyscreen.
For this I need to toggle between the TUI and the device CLI once the login has happened to the device from the unix server.
Can anyone (having experience with npyscreen) help me on how this can be done in npyscreen?
The flow here is like :
Select option to login to the device (in TUI)
The TUI executes backend script to login to the device
TUI allows user to see the device console may be by toggling from TUI to the CLI mode
The user does his things on the device in the console mode
User exits the device CLI and is landed back to the TUI again.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Pradeep
The devices are usually unix based having shell prompt just like unix servers or they may have their own toolsets interactive shell.
Got the answer on this thread.
running command line program from npyscreen select option
There is a method in npyscreen called CallSubShell that be used for this purpose .
I am anticipating the answer to be no, but I wanted to verify. If I write a Python program that was a GUI, can I launch that from a Linux CLI and still get the GUI? I am trying to build an embedded Linux system and I want to exclude everything that isn't necessary. This is a kiosk-like device, so all I need is my Python GUI.
Various widget toolkits (GTK+, Qt, etc.) can run on DirectFB instead of X11, which will allow you to have a GUI running on the Linux framebuffer device instead of requiring a full X server.
To run GUI anything on Linux you'll need an X server at a minimum.
There are curses based sorta-GUI libraries that assume an 80x24 character terminal emulator if you want to go that route, but you'll still need some kind of display.
