   | awk '
     /class="android.widget.Switch"/ &&
     /resource-id="com.farmerbb.taskbar:id\/the_switch"/ &&
     /clickable="true"/ &&
     match($0, /bounds="\[([0-9]+),([0-9]+)\]\[([0-9]+),([0-9]+)\]"/, b) {
   
       cx = int((b[1] + b[3]) / 2)
       cy = int((b[2] + b[4]) / 2)
   
       system("adb shell input tap " cx " " cy)
       exit
     }

3. Access "Freeform Mode":

   #!/usr/bin/env bash
   adb exec-out uiautomator dump /dev/tty \

       cy = int((b[2] + b[4]) / 2)
   
       system("adb shell input tap " cx " " cy)
       exit
     }
   '

       cx = int((b[1] + b[3]) / 2)
       cy = int((b[2] + b[4]) / 2)
   
       system("adb shell input tap " cx " " cy)
