Android Control (Community Mirror)

This is a community mirror of the official Android Control dataset by Google Research, hosted on Hugging Face for easier access.

The original dataset is hosted on Google Cloud Storage at gs://gresearch/android_control/. This copy is provided to make it more accessible to the research community via Hugging Face.

Dataset Description

Android Control is a dataset for training and evaluating Android device control agents. It contains 15,283 demonstrations across 833 Android apps covering 40 app categories, with 14,548 unique tasks.

Each demonstration includes:

• Screenshots (PNG-encoded)
• Accessibility trees (serialized protocol buffer format)
• Natural language instructions — both high-level goals and low-level step-by-step instructions
• Actions — click, scroll, input_text, open_app, navigate_home, navigate_back, long_press, wait

Data Format

The data is stored as TFRecord files with GZIP compression. Each record contains:

• episode_id: unique identifier for the demonstration
• goal: high-level task description
• step_instructions: low-level action descriptions
• screenshots: PNG-encoded screen images
• accessibility_trees: serialized accessibility tree protos
• actions: JSON-encoded action sequences

Loading the Data

import tensorflow as tf

filenames = tf.io.gfile.glob('path/to/android_control*')
raw_dataset = tf.data.TFRecordDataset(filenames, compression_type='GZIP')
