Macro Handler

Macro Handler

Android Automation Platform

Global ObjectTouch and ActionsFactory Global

Point(x, y)

A point on the screen. Point(x, y) maps macro coordinates to the device and returns a Point object (nil when mapping fails); click, quickTap and Touch calls accept a Point.

Detailed Explanation

This section explains when to use the API, how to call it, and which structures it works best with in production flow.

How To Call It

Point is a callable factory table: object methods are called as point:<method>(...), and the table’s own functions as Point.<method>(...).

When To Use It

In automation flow, chain actions with short wait() intervals and use requestStop() or controlled retry on failure paths.

Parameters and Return

Point offers 9 methods; each method page lists its parameters and return value.

Best Combined With

It works best together with wait(), Point, SwipeParam, ClickParam, and sometimes a Region result.

Example Usage

The snippet below is a starter pattern that can be applied directly in runtime flow.

lua
Try in Editor →
local point = Point(540, 960)
if point then quickTap(point) end

Copyable Progressive Examples

From foundation to combined usage, each level is provided as a separate code block so you can copy the level you need and adapt it directly.

Foundation

Shows the shortest direct way to call the API.

Foundation
lua
Try in Editor →
local point = Point(540, 960)
if point then quickTap(point) end

Simple

Wraps the base call with minimal flow control.

Simple
lua
Try in Editor →
local point = Point(540, 960)
if point then quickTap(point) end

-- Continue with one focused method on the object.

Practical Flow

A practical pattern for real macros with pcall, logging, and guards.

Practical Flow
lua
Try in Editor →
local point = Point(540, 960)
if point then quickTap(point) end
local note = "Point overview loaded"
print(note)

Detailed

This level packages the API into a reusable helper with error reporting.

Detailed
lua
Try in Editor →
-- In automation flow, chain actions with short wait() intervals and use requestStop() or controlled retry on failure paths.
local function run_point_step()
  local point = Point(540, 960)
  if point then quickTap(point) end
end

local ok, err = pcall(run_point_step)
if not ok then
  toast("Step failed")
  print(err)
end

Combined

Combines the API with related structures to form a more realistic workflow.

Combined
lua
Try in Editor →
local target = Point(540, 960)
quickTap(target)
wait(250)
local point = Point(540, 960)
if point then quickTap(point) end
wait(250)
print("Automation chain completed")
