A monkeyrunner class that represents a device or emulator accessible by the workstation running
monkeyrunner.
This class is used to control an Android device or emulator. The methods send UI events, retrieve information, install and remove applications, and run applications.
You normally do not have to create an instance of MonkeyDevice . Instead, you use
MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection() to create a new object from a connection to a device or emulator. For example, instead of using: newdevice = MonkeyDevice() you would use: newdevice = MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection()
