How to send dispatchTouchEvent () from a service to any Underlay operation

Question

WHAT DO I WANT TO DO? - Basically, I want to pragmatically make human contact at certain times with certain X, Y coordinates - Run a service that receives X, Y coordinates through some interface (TCP / UDP) - fire dispatchTouchEvent (), using these coordinates and getting the results, since an actual click of a person’s finger gives - I mean, the focal activity can be anything, either this is the Android Home screen or any open activity OR Anything - The moment service calls the dispatchTouchEvent () method, which should execute the click. - For example, if the open application is a calculator and the X, Y coordinates of dispatchTouchEvent () indicate a numeric value of 5, it should press the 5 key

WHAT DO I DO NOW? - I started a service that gets the X, Y coordinates - On some trigger, it calls dispatchTouchEvent (), but it does not work. He does not click on the screen. - It captures every touch event made by a human finger.

WHAT'S HAPPENING? - How to throw dispatchTouchEvent () for any pad action

SAMPLE CODE: Here I use the sample code. I just made it easy to test. First we need to click anywhere on the screen. Its X, Y coordinates will be saved and after a while dispatchTouchEvent () will be called using the same coordinates.

MainActivity.java

package com.test.overlay; import android.os.Bundle; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; public class MainActivity extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); //Intent intent = new Intent(this, Overlay.class); Intent intent = new Intent(this, PlayerServiceTest.class); startService(intent); finish(); } }
