Scriptable Apk May 2026

Tools like BeeWare (Python) or Kivy allow you to write code in a high-level language and package it into an APK.

If you want to "script" the usage of an APK (e.g., auto-clicking buttons inside an app):

import uiautomator2 as u2
A single scriptable APK can control multiple smart home devices. The user writes scripts like:

if motion_sensor then turn_on_lights() and reloads without app updates. scriptable apk

Expose Android APIs to the script engine. This is the critical part – you must define a Java object that the script can call.
Example: Expose Toast function to Lua
public class ScriptAPI 
    private Context context;
public ScriptAPI(Context ctx)  context = ctx;
public void showToast(String message) 
    Toast.makeText(context, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
public int add(int a, int b)  return a + b; 


// In your activity
LuaValue globals = JsePlatform.standardGlobals();
ScriptAPI api = new ScriptAPI(this);
globals.set("android", CoerceJavaToLua.coerce(api));
 Tools like BeeWare (Python) or Kivy allow you

Now in your Lua script (loaded from assets or /sdcard/script.lua): import uiautomator2 as u2 A single scriptable APK
android.showToast("Hello from Lua!")
result = android.add(5, 3)
