Add to project

Available actions​

Install an app​

Install an app This action lets you install an app from an APK file. Supported formats: .xapk, .apkm, .apks

Uninstall an app​

Uninstall an app This action removes an installed app by its name, which you can find using the Installed Apps tool.

Open an app​

Lets you launch an app that's already installed.

Open an app

  • App name. You can find it using the Installed Apps tool.
  • App activity. Lets you open a specific window of the app right away. You can find this value by checking the app's dump: dumpsys package com.package_name | grep -i activity.

Open URL​

Lets you open a web page in a browser.

Open URL

  • URL. This is where you enter the web page address you want to open.
  • App name. Put in the name of the app that can open links. You can find it using the Installed Apps tool. If you leave it blank, the page will open in the default browser.

Close app​

Close app Closes an app (same as the adb shell am force-stop com.package command).

Clear app data​

Clear app data This action wipes all user data from the app. If you check Clear cache only, only the cache will be deleted, and everything else stays.

Save app data​

This function lets you save all app data (kind of like saving a profile in ZennoPoster).

Save app data

Available options:​

  • App name. You can find it using the Installed Apps tool.
  • Path to archive file. Enter the path where you want to save the archived app data (archive format is tar.gz).
Here's a good way.

Before saving the data, it's best to close the app using the Keyboard Emulation action with this text: {AndroidKeys.HOME}. This emulates pressing the HOME button.

Why close the app before saving data?​

If the app is open during data saving, some information may be in RAM, not in the files. In this case, those data won't be saved. Also, you shouldn't use the Close app action for this because it kills the process and you might lose data.

Restore app data​

Restore app data This lets you load app data saved using the previous action (Save app data).

Available options:​

  • App name. You can find it using the Installed Apps tool.
  • Path to archive file. Enter the path to the archive with your app data.
Attention.

The app must be installed on the device but NOT running when restoring data!

Extract APK from app​

Extract APK from app This action lets you get the installer file of your app in .apk or .apks format. Later, you can install the app with the Install APK action.

Get cookies from the app​

Get cookies from the app This action gets cookies from apps with web content, returned in JSON format. You can then use the JSON and XML Processing action to read these data.

Get notifications​

Get notifications This action fetches notifications from the app from the notification drawer (top system bar) in JSON format. You can then use the JSON and XML Processing action to read these data.

Clear notifications​

Clear notifications This feature removes all accumulated notifications from the notification bar.

Get active app name​

Get active app name This action lets you get the name of the app that is currently active and in the foreground.

Get list of apps​

Get list of apps This action lets you get the names of all installed apps and save them in a list.

App filter options:​

  • All. All apps installed on the device.
  • System. Pre-installed apps that you generally can't uninstall, only hide.
  • User. Apps you installed yourself.

Check if app is already installed​

Check if app is already installed This function checks whether an app is on the device. If it's missing, it'll be treated as an error and the workflow will go through the red branch.
