How as normal user you do right click on same item with Android phone? No ay adb command. Just pure user behavior.

You have phone screen and finger. Nothing more.

Or your app has some special interruction with adb commands?

Shivaji_Ghadge · April 6, 2023, 5:26pm

I tried multiple things like normal adb shell input keyevent commands but it is not working.
Actually If I tap on app icon then the app is getting open.
So I have to first hover over the app icon and then right click.

Shivaji_Ghadge · April 6, 2023, 5:27pm

This is not a android phone. This is laptop which having android OS.

Aleksei · April 6, 2023, 5:27pm

There is no hoover on phone. There is long, short, double tap and so on. One of this action should call menu you want.

Shivaji_Ghadge · April 6, 2023, 5:30pm

Yes I tried long, short, double tap but not getting desired o/p.
So what I was trying to provide key events usind adb shell. But In Keyevent there are multiple events are generating which is include touch + key .

Aleksei · April 6, 2023, 6:28pm

We cant help you without answers. How with finger you can call needed menu?

Shivaji_Ghadge · April 7, 2023, 6:23am

There is a touchpad / mousepad in device and I am just pressing at bottom right corner for needed menu options.

Aleksei · April 7, 2023, 8:18am

Aga. So this is not a simple phone. This is device with custom control. You need to find out what action takes your control device while you press on right button. This action may be not same as we expecting. Check logcat logs while you press. Maybe this will help better.

There is possibility that adb command will not help. If you can try ask developers for help.

Sure @Aleksei, Thank you for your valuable time. Much appreciate.

Should be possible with W3C actions. Simply set the pointer type to mouse
