Attributes

Remarks

Method where the instrumentation thread enters execution. This allows you to run your instrumentation code in a separate thread than the application, so that it can perform blocking operation such as #sendKeySync or #startActivitySync.

You will typically want to call finish() when this function is done, to end your instrumentation.
