Can I use Android SDK to test a handset?

Question

Here's what I want to do. Please let me know if this is possible.

I have an android phone, which I want to control using the SDK to send calls, receive calls , start some application, tap the screen etc.

TIA

You can write an android application that does most of those things. For screen-tapping, there is Monkey.

The Monkey is a program that runs on your emulator or device and generates pseudo-random streams of user events such as clicks, touches, or gestures, as well as a number of system-level events. You can use the Monkey to stress-test applications that you are developing, in a random yet repeatable manner.
