Automatic fill USERID and PASSWORD field

in General Discussion • Other • 2 months ago

Hi Guys!
I am Angelo.
Someone knows how build a simple processing 2.0 code for provide an automatic login in a website?
For example: I would run a Processing sketch in order to automatically fill USER ID an PSW of my gmail account.

Do you think it' possible?

P.S. I checked for previously post but I didn't find. If already discussed, please link it me.
thanks so much!

Processing is a graphical programming environment, it isn't well suited for such task. Why would you use Processing for such task? Is it related to some more general sketch?

Otherwise, if you are on Windows, I would use a more generic, better suited and more powerful software, like AutoHotkey, AutoIt or Sikuli (the latter being more system agnostic).

Hi Philho. Thanks for replying me.
I know that there are several programs better suited for such task, but I would try to create some app, through PROCESSING 2.0 for android, in order to fill input fields contained in web site (like gmail, for instance).
It is possible doing PARSING, with PROCESSING. But I do not know if there is some chances to fill fileds.
So, is it no possible?

Well, you give here a crucial element that was missing from your original request! In desktop Java, you could attempt something with the Robot class, but I believe it isn't available in Android.

Again, Processing isn't the best suited for this task, and I don't even know if such app is possible on unrooted devices...

Perhaps a tool like SL4A can help, I don't know. Interacting with other softwares like a browser isn't trivial and often need low level access to the system.

Filling a form on a Web page is very different from parsing a Web page! In the latter case, you can do a simple GET request, obtain some textual content as answer, and go on. No need for a browser.

In the former case, either you use a browser, and pilot it, simulating user input, to feed the fields and activate the Send button, or you build a POST request identical to the one the browser will send (including cookies, authentication, etc.) and need to send it, perhaps in HTTPS mode. Not obvious if you don't know what are GET, POST, and such operations...
