如何在Android代码中启动uiautomator？

Question

I want to start an uiautomatorTest program in android code. I use:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("uiautomator runtest AutoRunner.jar -c com.Runner.AutoRunner");

I get the error:

java.lang.SecurityException: You do not have android.permission.RETRIEVE_WINDOW_CONTENT required to call registerUiTestAutomationService from pid=7071, uid=10156

Can anyone tell me how to solve the problem? thanks

As the discussion It seems, this Permission is only granted to system apps And it seems you may have forgot to add the permission also,

To add the permission :

add this directly to your manifest

   <uses-permission android.permission.RETRIEVE_WINDOW_CONTENT />

OR Inside the service you want the operation to be done like

    <service android:name=".MyAccessibilityService"
         android:permission="android.permission.BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE">
     <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService" />
     </intent-filter>
     . . .
 </service>
