MockDevice Testing (Android)

Use MockDeviceKit to test DAT SDK integrations without physical Meta glasses.

MockDeviceKit simulates Meta glasses behavior for development and testing. It provides:

• MockDeviceKit — Entry point for creating simulated devices
• MockRaybanMeta — Simulated Ray-Ban Meta glasses
• MockCameraKit — Simulated camera with configurable video feed and photo capture

Setup

Add mwdat-mockdevice to your Gradle dependencies:

dependencies {
    implementation(libs.mwdat.mockdevice)
}

Creating a mock device

import com.meta.wearable.dat.mockdevice.MockDeviceKit
import com.meta.wearable.dat.mockdevice.api.MockDeviceKitConfig

val mockDeviceKit = MockDeviceKit.getInstance(context)

// Attach fake registration and connectivity (auto-initializes Wearables if needed).
// By default, Wearables.registrationState transitions to Registered.
mockDeviceKit.enable()

// Or start in unregistered state to test registration flows:
// mockDeviceKit.enable(MockDeviceKitConfig(initiallyRegistered = false))

val device = mockDeviceKit.pairRaybanMeta()

You can check mockDeviceKit.isEnabled to query whether the mock environment is active.

Simulating device states

// Simulate glasses lifecycle
device.powerOn()
device.unfold()
device.don()    // Simulate wearing the glasses

// Later...
device.doff()   // Simulate removing
device.fold()
device.powerOff()

Configuring permissions

MockDeviceKit provides permissions to control permission behavior without the Meta AI app.

By default, RequestPermissionContract returns Granted. Use set() to control checkPermissionStatus() and setRequestResult() to control request outcomes.

val mockDeviceKit = MockDeviceKit.getInstance(context)

// Simulate denied camera permission status
mockDeviceKit.permissions.set(Permission.CAMERA, PermissionStatus.Denied)

// Simulate denied request result (user tapping "deny")
mockDeviceKit.permissions.setRequestResult(Permission.CAMERA, PermissionStatus.Denied)

Setting up mock camera feeds

Video streaming

val camera = device.services.camera
camera.setCameraFeed(videoUri)

Photo capture

val camera = device.services.camera
camera.setCapturedImage(imageUri)

Note: Android doesn't transcode video automatically. Mock video files must be in h.265 format. Use FFmpeg to convert:

ffmpeg -hwaccel videotoolbox -i input.mp4 -c:v hevc_videotoolbox -c:a aac_at -tag:v hvc1 -vf "scale=540:960" output.mov

Writing instrumentation tests

Create a reusable test base class:

import android.content.Context
import androidx.test.ext.junit.rules.ActivityScenarioRule
import androidx.test.platform.app.InstrumentationRegistry
import com.meta.wearable.dat.mockdevice.MockDeviceKit
import com.meta.wearable.dat.mockdevice.api.MockDeviceKitInterface
import org.junit.After
import org.junit.Before
import org.junit.Rule

open class MockDeviceKitTestCase<T : Any>(
    private val activityClass: Class<T>
) {
    @get:Rule
    val scenarioRule = ActivityScenarioRule(activityClass)

    protected lateinit var mockDeviceKit: MockDeviceKitInterface
    protected lateinit var targetContext: Context

    @Before
    open fun setUp() {
        val instrumentation = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation()
        targetContext = instrumentation.targetContext
        mockDeviceKit = MockDeviceKit.getInstance(targetContext)
        grantRuntimePermissions()
    }

    @After
    open fun tearDown() {
        mockDeviceKit.disable()
    }

    private fun grantRuntimePermissions() {
        val packageName = targetContext.packageName
        val shell = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().uiAutomation
        shell.executeShellCommand("pm grant $packageName android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT")
        shell.executeShellCommand("pm grant $packageName android.permission.CAMERA")
    }
}
