1. Is there any way to send key strokes to other applications launched from a test application

Hi ,

Can anyone please look at the error that I got while trying to install
a test application and provide inputs.

My aim was to launch Contacts application from a test application and
send keypresses to it .

I have tried the following approach:
-> Create a dummy application with the same name space as the original
application in your device/emulator.
    Eg. For Contacts I created a dummy application with package
com.android.contacts.
-> Write tests for the dummy application and install only the test
cases apk on the device/emulator.
    So that the test will be carried out on the original application.

Though using the above approach I am getting the following error.

"Re-installation failed due to different application signatures.
 You must perform a full uninstall of the application."

Can we use the package names of the existing applications for
creating dummy applications.

Is there any way to send key strokes to other applications launched
from a test application

2. Layered input methods?

I'd like to create an input method that only alters the behavior of
the *hardware* keyboard, and leaves any software keyboards alone. I've
looked over the docs and there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do
this; *is* there a way to "layer" input methods like that? Thanks for
any suggestions y'all can provide...
