How to emulate a tap on the screen or a mouse click?

Question

Java

Essence of the question: you need to remotely press a button on the smartphone screen (for example, turn on some application or something else) by coordinates. How can I achieve this without adb shell?

Good afternoon everyone.
As a result, the issue was resolved after installing root rights on Android and still through the commands in the terminal: input tap XY and input swipe X1 Y1 X2 Y2 .

public static Runtime rt;
public static Process process;
public static DataOutputStream os;

// Инициализируем переменные
rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
process = rt.exec("su");
os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());

// Метод, исполняющий команды в терминале (можно выполнять в любом потоке).
// Примеры команд: 
//     input keyevent KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN
//     input tap 200 300
public static void execCommands(String... commands)
{
    try
    {
        for(int i = 0; i < commands.length; i++)
        {
            os.writeBytes(commands[i] + "\n");
            os.flush();
        }
    } catch (Exception e) { }
}

If suddenly someone knows how to do something like this without root , I will be very grateful. Interested in fresh versions of the OS (5.0+).

Depends on the degree of acceptable hemorrhoids. For example, you can look at Appium. Or delve into UIAutomator. This is so, offhand.
