Android UI Verification

Android UI Verification Skill

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/android_ui_verification from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Android UI Verification Skill This skill provides a systematic approach to testing React Native applications on an Android emulator using ADB commands. It allows for autonomous interaction, state verification, and visual regression checking.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: 🛠 Prerequisites, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• Verifying UI changes in React Native or Native Android apps.
• Autonomous debugging of layout issues or interaction bugs.
• Ensuring feature functionality when manual testing is too slow.
• Capturing automated screenshots for PR documentation.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automated end-to-end UI testing and verification on an Android Emulator using ADB.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Tap: adb shell input tap (Use the center of the element bounds).
2. Swipe: adb shell input swipe (Used for scrolling).
3. Text Input: adb shell input text "" (Note: Limited support for special characters).
4. Key Events: adb shell input keyevent (e.g., 66 for Enter).
5. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
6. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
7. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: 🚀 Workflow

1. Device Calibration

Before interacting, always verify the screen resolution to ensure tap coordinates are accurate.

adb shell wm size

Note: Layouts are often scaled. Use the physical size returned as the base for coordinate calculations.

2. UI Inspection (State Discovery)

Use the uiautomator dump to find the exact bounds of UI elements (buttons, inputs).

adb shell uiautomator dump /sdcard/view.xml && adb pull /sdcard/view.xml ./artifacts/view.xml

Search the view.xml for text, content-desc, or resource-id. The bounds attribute [x1,y1][x2,y2] defines the clickable area.

3. Interaction Commands

• Tap: adb shell input tap <x> <y> (Use the center of the element bounds).
• Swipe: adb shell input swipe <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2> <duration_ms> (Used for scrolling).
• Text Input: adb shell input text "<message>" (Note: Limited support for special characters).
• Key Events: adb shell input keyevent <code_id> (e.g., 66 for Enter).

4. Verification & Reporting

Visual Verification

Capture a screenshot after interaction to confirm UI changes.

adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screen.png && adb pull /sdcard/screen.png ./artifacts/test_result.png

Analytical Verification

Monitor the JS console logs in real-time to detect errors or log successes.

adb logcat -d | grep "ReactNativeJS" | tail -n 20

Cleanup

Always store generated files in the artifacts/ folder to satisfy project organization rules.

Imported: 🛠 Prerequisites

• Android Emulator running.
• adb installed and in PATH.
• Application in debug mode for logcat access.

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @android-ui-verification to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @android-ui-verification against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @android-ui-verification for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @android-ui-verification using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Wait for Animations: Always add a short sleep (e.g., 1-2s) between interaction and verification.
• Center Taps: Calculate the arithmetic mean of [x1,y1][x2,y2] for the most reliable tap target.
• Log Markers: Use distinct log messages in the code (e.g., ✅ Action Successful) to make grep verification easy.
• Fail Fast: If a uiautomator dump fails or doesn't find the expected text, stop and troubleshoot rather than blind-tapping.
• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/android_ui_verification, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
