uiautomator running on phone without android studio?

Question

Android

I like the uiautomator concept, I'm interested in managing other applications, I want to run a test in not A Studio, without adb, let's say on a click in the application. How to do it?
I have seen this done with a .jar file, but I don't know how to create an Android Studio 3.1.2 jar.file.
this is how it looks, via terminal - adb shell uiautomator runtest -c [options].
example - adb shell uiautomator runtest LaunchSettings.jar -c com.uia.example.my.LaunchSettings.
here is the link https://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/android/doc...
what else can control other applications in android system?
