UI Screen API

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What should be supported?

1. It will better, if sl4a includes ui functionality for standard actions like 
touch event on any widget present on screen.
2. Any api to fetch all Widget ids, & Strings present on screen

I hav seen these links..
but what i want is to select any widget on screen by fetching its id or string 
attached to it.
The example displayed in first link shows the hardcoded xml layout, but what if 
i want to fetch current screen layouts widgets ids & strings?
API: fullShow() will show the layout after passing xml file object..
API: fullQuery() will show all ids & strings but it requires "fullShow()"  to 
be executed first..
Is there any way to fetch current screens ids & string like  fullQuery() ?

hmmm.... don't know if that's even possible in android (let alone scripting 
environment)... i believe android's vm sandboxes apps and the preferred 
interaction medium are intents
