uiautomator2 Alternative for Android Automation

uiautomator2 is a popular Python library for Android UI automation.

It is a good choice when you want a Python-native API around Android's UIAutomator framework. It can find elements by text, click buttons, inspect UI hierarchy, and drive common app flows.

But it is not always the best fit.

If your workflow is CLI-first, latency-sensitive, or driven by an LLM agent, a smaller Android automation tool may be easier to compose.

Handsets is one such alternative.
