help - auto input / simulator

on PC apps like PhraseExpress http://www.phraseexpress.com/

can speed up text input

they can send special keys - TAB/ARROWS .. paste .. etc ..

what are our options of alike for Android?

i.e. in exact need/example on some webpages I need to enter some text + paste clipboard + enter more text (4000 characters) send TAB 3x ... again send some text + paste clipboard + TAB + SPACE ..

maybe there is a browser or an addon to a browser to do this?

thank you ..
 
If you're testing the server's capability, write a browser (it's a trivial program in C# or VB) that sends the text you want to the element you want it sent to as fast as you want it sent. (Your problem is going to be putting in a delay. Send a 4,000 character string to the site and it'll get their as fast as your internet path to the site can get it there - which, if the path is fast, will be a small fraction of a second.)

I can't think of a non-test reason for sending huge strings of text fast. All that does is stress the server, and the server doesn't care what the source is, a phone, a PC or a mainframe.

ohhh no mate I just need an app to save time input on some sites

really didn't want to carry a laptop to do this task when traveling ..

must be some solution

like I press "qaa" and it will send some input
 
hi once a week online - via browser - I need to submit same forms online for my work

it could really use automation to save redundant typing and field selecting ..

So on a PC I use PhrseExpress Autotext - Text Expander for Windows - Snippets Organizer .. Saves me 85% of time ..

It can send / I need it to send:
{TAB}{DOWN}{DOWN}{TAB}enter 200 characters {PASTE CLIPBOARD}enter 3000 (yes three thousand characters - via whatever means ..) {TAB} {PASTE CLIPBOARD} {TAB} {SPACE}

is there any soft like so for android? or browser on Android could help me with this?

Thank you!
 
Hi InGearX,

I've merged your latest post into your existing thread since it isn't a question about Android Development.

I'm not sure if there are any Android applications that will do exactly what you're asking for, but you could probably create a Tasker profile to at least get close. Tasker is a fabulous automation tool, and I use it in multiple ways every day, but I've never tried to do what you're asking. It does include a "Type" action which can be used to input a specific bit of text.

We have a dedicated Tasker subforum here, so if you do decide to go the Tasker route feel free to pop in and ask for some pointers. :)
