W.Elsinga: Their is no tool on the market that currently support this.

I am now taking a try with the methods which TEMA uses. In TEMA, it uses the function that HierarchyViewer, Monkey, for example, provided to generate a user event. The cordinates are provided by the hierarchy information. Do you have any idea about that? Could you give me any advice or details about the attempt to test android apps without test cases? Thanks a lot!
