Put a checkbox or switch into a state, rather than toggling whatever it is in. These call app_check.

check​

public void check(String target, boolean checked)

Puts a checkbox or switch into a state, rather than toggling it.

Idempotent: asking for a state it is already in does nothing, which is what makes it safe to call without reading first. Anything with no checked state is refused rather than tapped, and a radio cannot be unchecked — a group is cleared by choosing a different member.

@param target a ref from map() such as "@e5", or a locator such as "text=Sign in" @param checked true to check it, false to uncheck it

Examples​

Tick a checkbox, whatever state it is in​

device.check("testid=termsCheck", true);   // does nothing if it is already ticked

The same call from the command line, mobium check testid=termsCheck, printed on an Android 15 emulator:

testid=termsCheck is now checked
