Sudhanva,

I brought up instant message on my MotoX and typed a letter. Android showed a list of suggestions. When I brought up UIAutomator, it did not show the suggestion window, nor does “adb shell uiautomator dump” (which I suppose is not that surprising). It appears to be an activity that’s put on top of your window but not available through the hierarchy.

I tried using dpad_down (adb shell input keyevent 20) and can move the cursor to the different entries, but enter (keyevent 66) doesn’t select the entry.

Sorry, but I don’t know how to solve this one.
