ADB on Kindles is there a way to receive a notification back when a window opens up or to see the checkbox status? - adb

Question

I'm using adb event codes to setup and navigate thru over 200 kindles
adb -s %%i %*shell input keyevent 61"....
This works great for the first time thru but the second time thru, I could be turning off things that the prior run thru turned on or vice versa. Is there a way with adb commands to read status get feedback or otherwise check to see if a check box on the kindle has been set, or if a window pops up on the launcher screen. I'm not understanding how to query the device to see if things are flagged or otherwise set. Thanks

This is not exactly what you want, as this is enabling Wi-Fi on a phone instead of Parental Controls, but I think you can get some ideas from this example that might be useful.
Instead of blindly clicking on the switch that would toggle Wi-Fi ON and OFF, this only clicks if it is OFF
#! /usr/bin/env python3
from com.dtmilano.android.viewclient import ViewClient
helper = ViewClient(*ViewClient.connectToDeviceOrExit(), useuiautomatorhelper=True).uiAutomatorHelper
obj_ref = helper.ui_device.find_object(body={
'clazz': 'android.widget.Switch',
'pkg': 'com.android.settings',
'desc': 'Wi‑Fi'
})
if helper.ui_object2.dump(oid=obj_ref.oid).text != 'ON':
print('Switching Wi-Fi ON')
helper.ui_object2.click(oid=obj_ref.oid)
else:
print('Wi-Fi already ON')
It's using AndroidViewClient/culebra with CulebraTester2-public back-end.
