Introduction

Auto.js is a JavaScript automation tool software for the Android platform that supports Accessibility Service.

Auto.js was first released by hyb1996 on 2017/01/27 and ceased maintenance on 2020/03/13, with the final version name being 4.1.1 Alpha2 and build number 461.

AutoJs6 is based on the final project of Auto.js, undergoing secondary development on 2021/12/01 and continues to be open-source and free.

The table below lists some Auto.js-related projects (sorted by development date):

Project Compilation and Build

For debugging or developing the AutoJs6 open-source project, you can use Android Studio (a product of Google) or IntelliJ IDEA (a product of Jetbrains).

This section introduces the compilation and build methods of the AutoJs6 open-source project using Android Studio as an example. IntelliJ IDEA is similar.

Android Studio Preparation

Download Android Studio Panda 2 | 2025.3.2 version (choose one as needed):

Note: The release date for the above version is Mar 3, 2026. To download other versions, or if the above link is invalid, you can visit the Android Studio release archive page.

Install or extract the above file, then run the Android Studio software (e.g., "D:\android-studio\bin\studio64.exe").

Android SDK Preparation

Note: If the Android SDK is already installed on the computer system, this section can be skipped.

Open the Android SDK (Android Software Development Kit) settings page (any of the following ways):

Help | Find action # Input "Android SDK"
[ or ]
File | Settings # Search "Android SDK"
[ or ]
File | Settings | Language & Frameworks | Android SDK
[ or ]
File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | Android SDK

If the Android SDK Location field is blank, click the Edit button on the right and click Next multiple times in the pop-up window.

Note: During the process, one or more relevant agreements may need to be accepted to continue.

Once the related resources are downloaded and installed, click the Finish button.
The Android SDK Location field above will auto-populate with the path, completing the SDK preparation work.

Android SDK Tools Preparation

AutoJs6 requires certain SDK tools (like NDK and CMake).

Note: If all required Android SDK Tools for AutoJs6 are already installed on the computer system, this section can be skipped.

Open the SDK Tools settings page (any of the following ways):

Help | Find action # Input "SDK Tools"
[ or ]

Check Show Package Details, click NDK and CMake respectively to ensure the corresponding version tools are checked, the version information of the SDK tools is located in the version.properties file in the root directory of the AutoJs6 project.

JDK Preparation

The JDK (Java Development Kit) version required for the AutoJs6 project should be at least 17, but 21 or higher is recommended.

As of Mar 14, 2026, AutoJs6 supports up to version 25 of the JDK.

Note: If the JDK is already installed on the computer system and the version meets the above requirements, this section can be skipped.

JDK can be downloaded directly via the IDE or from the Oracle website.

Open the Gradle JDK settings page (any of the following ways):

Help | Find action # Input "Gradle JDK"
[ or ]
File | Settings # Search "Gradle"
[ or ]
File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Gradle

Gradle JDK can be chosen or added with different versions of JDK.

If a suitable version of the JDK (>= 17) already exists in the list, it can be selected directly.
Alternatively, you can choose Download JDK to download a suitable JDK, click the Download button and wait for the download to complete.
You can also choose Add JDK to add an existing local JDK, locating its directory and completing the JDK addition.

AutoJs6 Resources Cloning

Click Get from VCS button on the main page of Android Studio.
Fill URL field with https://github.com/SuperMonster003/AutoJs6.git,
The Directory field can be modified to a specific path if needed.
Click the Clone button, wait for the AutoJs6 project resources to be cloned to the local device.

Note: The above process may require the installation of Git.

AutoJs6 Project Building

After cloning, Android Studio will open the AutoJs6 project window and automatically complete the preliminary Dependencies download and Gradle build work.

Note: The above process may take a long time. If network conditions are poor, it may need to be retried multiple times (click the Retry button).

If the build couldn't proceed automatically or you need to rebuild the project, follow these steps:

  • From the Run/Debug Configurations menu in the Toolbar, select app, which is the main AutoJs6 application
  • Click the Build Project (hammer icon) button on the left to start building the project. The default shortcut is CTRL + F9
  • Wait for the build to complete. The Builder Output tab will display a message such as "BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 1h 17m 34s"

If the build fails, you can report the error message to the AutoJs6 project's Issues page.

Note: For more details on building and running the app, please refer to Android Docs

AutoJs6 Project Deployment (Run App)

Once the project is built successfully, it can be deployed as an application (App) to a physical device (e.g., phone/tablet) or a virtual device (e.g., Android emulator).

  • In the Toolbar, select app from the Run/Debug Configurations menu, which is the main AutoJs6 application
  • In the Available Devices dropdown on the right, choose the device on which the project app should run (physical or virtual)
  • Click the Run (triangle icon) button on the right to launch the app. The default shortcut is F10
  • Wait for the deployment to finish; the chosen device will automatically install and run the project app

AutoJs6 Project Deployment (Generate APK)

Package the project and generate an APK file that can be installed on Android devices:

  • Debug Version
    • Build | Build Bundle(s) / APK(s) | Build APK(s)
    • Generate signed debug APK
    • Path example: "D:\AutoJs6\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\"
  • Release Version
    • Build | Generate Signed Bundle / APK
    • Select APK option
    • Prepare the signing file (create new or select existing), generate the signed release package
    • Path example: "D:\AutoJs6\app\release\"

Note: For more information on building an app for user release, please refer to Android Docs

Predefined Gradle Build Tasks for AutoJs6

Besides building the project App, AutoJs6 supports several predefined Gradle build tasks that help developers perform convenient project-related operations.

Under the Run/Debug Configurations menu in the Toolbar, you can find various predefined Gradle tasks, each indicated by an elephant icon on the left.

  • AutoJs6 [inrt:assemble]

Assemble the "inrt" build variant, which primarily serves the AutoJs6 script packaging feature.

The AutoJs6 project has various build variants. The "inrt" variant is used for packaging scripts, generating the template file "template.apk" required for packaging.

When using the packaging feature, you might encounter the following error message:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: template.apk

This indicates that the template file does not exist. You need to manually run the inrt:assemble task to generate the template file, then rebuild and redeploy the app.

Note: When the main project code changes and you want to synchronize these changes with the packaged app, you need to rerun the inrt:assemble task to generate the template files and redeploy the app

  • AutoJs6 [app:bundle]

Package the outputs of the debug build process, primarily for the AutoJs6 TypeScript definitions project.

After running the task, it produces the latest JAR file for the AutoJs6 project. Using the Android d.ts Generator (by NativeScript), you can generate the type definitions (d.ts format) for the main AutoJs6 app.

  • AutoJs6 [app:digest]

Append digest information to the APK produced by the release build, mainly to finalize the filename before publishing the latest version of AutoJs6 to GitHub.

Below is the comparison of filenames before and after appending the digest information:

Before:
autojs6-v6.6.2-arm64-v8a.apk
After:
autojs6-v6.6.2-arm64-v8a-0f2a9d74.apk

Script Development Assistance

To develop scripts that run with AutoJs6, appropriate development tools must be used:

For writing and debugging scripts on a PC, the VSCode plugin can enable PC-to-phone connectivity:

When writing code using development tools, code completion functionality can better assist developers in completing code:

When writing code, AutoJs6-related API and usage can be consulted in the documentation at any time:

Existing script development projects can serve as references and inspire creativity for personal script projects:
