Android API e.g. java.awt.Robot

java.awt.Robot is not available in the Android SDK.

If you want to take screenshots yourself during development, you can use DDMS. If your application needs to take screenshots, I think that this requires root. There is an application that can do this, for example.

There is also a library that may be useful to you:

Android Screenshot Library (ASL)

However, there is a discrepancy in SO:

If you want to simulate touch events (as the robot does with the mouse), use the TouchUtils utility TouchUtils .
