I've got a test case that accesses the browser and does some stuff with it. But I need to programmatically change what the inputs are for some of the text boxes. I have 8 strings and a boolean value that the test needs the run properly. The problem is, is that you have to run the test case through ant and the build process before you can actually run it. I'd love to be able to build this, put it on the device and then somehow pass the data to the device when I call it. But I don't know if that is possible. The only option I can think of at the moment, is to write a quick java program to write this to a file, change the variables, and then build it and push is and such. However, that seems like a very unelegant solution to my problem. Here's the code:

String ip, String netmask, String gateway, String dns) throws UiObjectNotFoundException {

If I understand your question, you have variables that change. You want your test to get these variables without hardcoding it? If that is the case, I would try this.
You can send in parameters via command line:
adb shell am insrument -e <NAME> <VALUE> <package/runner>
You can access the value using the bundle that is available if you override the onCreatemethod of the InstrumentationTestRunner.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
value = (String) savedInstanceState.get("name");
}
