You can issue adb commands using system, and you can also connect to the qemu console/Android emulator using TCP. I haven't used either method, but I seem to remember that you can also send inputs using the TCP console to simulate user input.	[reply]

What I know of android is that you can't run perl on it, so there is no checking to be done	[reply]

To run perl on android check out SL4A, either in the Android Market (Google Play) or at http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting The SL4A perl distribution has a limited number of XS perl modules, but there is an included Android.pm module to do many thins in perl that you can do with a java .apk written using the Android SDK.
