What is the best way to spot UI state changes between Android screen dumps?▼

The best way to spot UI state changes is to use the diff capability on the layout JSON. By comparing sequential screen dumps, you can quickly identify structural updates to the Android layout tree during rapid iteration.

Can I recover an Android UI verification test if the layout JSON cannot be parsed?▼

Yes, you can recover an Android UI verification test if the layout JSON cannot be parsed. The verification process allows recovery by automatically switching to a visual check to confirm the screen state.

Do I need to run a specific command before verifying Android UI state via layout JSON?▼

Yes, before verifying Android UI state you need to run the android layout command. This fetches the current UI tree and generates the structured layout JSON required to validate target elements.
