Android Button programmatic click

Question

I have a button. I want to simulate a click on. performClick() does most of the job, but it doesn't do the button's animation. I tried setPressed and setEnabled as well, but no dice.

Answer 1

Call invalidate after the setPressed to force the view to redraw:

btn.setPressed(true);
btn.invalidate();

Answer 2

Try to use tool Monkey.
