To be able to do this you must first install PyDev from Eclipse Marketplace.
Then you have to define a new python interpreter
but before you can do it you need to do some changes to the Android installation. We need to replace the monkeyrunner interpreter because Eclipse invokes it using the -u command line option, unbuffer stdin, stdout and stderr, which is not supported by monkeyrunner. To solve it we should rename the original interpreter to monkeyrunner-original and then use this script as a replacement for monkeyrunner.
| # /bin/bash if [ "$1" = '-u' ] then shift fi exec /home/zhouzhibin/android-sdk-2.3.4/tools/monkeyrunner-original "$@" |
if you are using Microsoft Windows, you should use something like this (script contributed by tagmaster)
REM @echo off
if("%1")==("-u") shift
"C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools"/monkeyrunner-original %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8
Once the new interpreter is defined and assigned to aPyDev project you will be able to edit and runmonkeyrunner scripts from Eclipse
Don't forget to set the previously defined interpreter to the project properties.
Update: July 2011
This patch was added to monkeyrunner to ignore the-u option sent by PyDev:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/sdk.git;a=commitdiff;h=f07d8c2026606633f1de7e1ab9d985c74ad8b340
However, the usage string does not include the -u option yet. BTW, credit would be nice.
So, the wrapper is not needed any more.
