Glossary

tip
  • This section explains common terms for newcomers to EasyClick Android
  • Automation service in EasyClick is optional at runtime unless you need automated taps and similar actions
  • IDEA screenshots, node capture, and similar features also require automation to be enabled

Automation Modes

Accessibility Mode

  • Uses Android's built-in accessibility service for automation and can operate on nodes
  • In the EasyClick app's System Settings, enable Accessibility mode (automation) or configure it in code
  • Accessibility service usually must be enabled manually, but EasyClick control center screen mirroring (grant accessibility / activate proxy) can enable it automatically. See Activate proxy mode
  • Accessibility mode has the smallest permission footprint
tip
  • Accessibility auto-start permission
  • Download the activator authorization from the software resource cloud drive: Android Resources-V1.15.0-EC Device Activation-Accessibility Keep-Alive.zip, then follow the included instructions
  • Control center screen mirroring can grant accessibility auto-start. See Grant accessibility auto-start

Proxy Mode

  • After activating the device with one of the EasyClick activator, IDEA development tools, or EasyClick control center screen mirroring system, you gain the required permissions
  • In the EasyClick app's System Settings, enable Proxy mode (automation) or configure it in code
  • Proxy mode has broader permissions than accessibility mode: nodes, taps, and more are supported, including functions in the shell module

ROOT

  • ROOT mode has the broadest permissions; grant EasyClick app root on the phone (steps vary by root tool)
  • In the EasyClick app's System Settings, enable ROOT permission grant; a ROOT authorization dialog appears — grant it
  • After ROOT is granted, start proxy mode automation or accessibility mode automation

shizuku

  • Software similar to EasyClick activation mode; search online for details. You can use shizuku to start the automation service
  • If shizuku permission is granted, start the automation service directly

hid

  • Uses external PC hardware to simulate taps without enabling accessibility or USB debugging, but nodes are not available
  • HID supports taps but not node operations; IME and screenshots work; you can use find-image, find-color, OCR, and similar approaches for scripting
  • See HID host usage and HID events

Screenshots

Screenshot With Permission

  • With accessibility mode automation, calling image.requestScreenCapture during permission request shows a screenshot authorization dialog; on some phones EasyClick accepts and taps authorize automatically

Screenshot Without Permission

  • With proxy mode automation, image.requestScreenCapture works without extra authorization

Input Method

IME Input

  • Some apps block input; EasyClick includes its own IME. In phone Settings → Language & input, select the EasyClick keyboard
  • In EasyClick app System Settings, enable Set as default input method; Show input method keyboard is optional
  • IME functions start with ime; search the docs for usage, e.g. IME input text

Proxy Activation

  • Activation is needed when you have no root, no shizuku, do not want accessibility, but still want proxy mode automation
  • Check activation under EasyClick App System Settings - No ROOT activated; checked means activated

IDEA Activation

  • Activate from IDEA: EasyClick Android - Activate & Keep-Alive Device - Mode 1 activation or Mode 2 activation. Check EasyClick Android Run Log for results

PC Activation

Standalone Activator

  • Download from the software resource cloud drive: Android Resources-V1.15.0-EC Device Activation-Accessibility Keep-Alive.zip, then follow the included instructions

Control Center Screen Mirroring Activator

  • Download control center screen mirroring from the cloud drive: Android Resources-Control Center Screen Mirroring System-EasyClick Android Control Center Screen Mirroring System v(version).zip, then follow the included instructions
  • See Activate proxy mode
