Still googling for doing Setup and automate android application on Windows 7

[Pramod Sadaphal]

Hi,

I have downloaded AppiumForWindows-0.7.0 from http://appium.io/. But what next. I didn't get any proper documentation for running Appium on Windows. Also I haven't found any sample test project for automating android app using Java. I have also gone through the documentation from site http://appium.io/. Sorry, but not found useful. Is anybody able to run appium on windows for testing android app using Java?? Please share step by step approach for automating using Appium after downloading AppiumForWindows-0.7.0 on windows.

thanks.

Hello 

Observed in your screenshot that the driver object is null and the object is not getting created. Can you please add the following line.

    driver = new SwipeableWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), getSelendroidCapabilities());
       

Also add following class in your package.


public class SwipeableWebDriver extends RemoteWebDriver implements HasTouchScreen {
    private RemoteTouchScreen touch;

    public SwipeableWebDriver(URL remoteAddress, Capabilities desiredCapabilities) {
        super(remoteAddress, desiredCapabilities);
        touch = new RemoteTouchScreen(getExecuteMethod());
    }

    public TouchScreen getTouch() {
        return touch;
    }
}

Regards
Saikat

You don't need to npm install with appium for windows. Everything comes pre-setup. All you need to do is run Appium.exe

[Pramod Sadaphal]

Hi Fiona,

Are u trying Android on Windows + Java???
then do following steps;

1. Go to appium.io site on your windows PC and download AppiumForWindows
2. Unzip it
3. Now, the folder contains Appium.exe file, run it by double clicking, it will look like,
 



4. No need to change the IP address and port number.
5.In your program set desired capabilities at starting like below,(following is java code),

       
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "Android");
        capabilities.setCapability("device", "Android");
        capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "4.2");
        capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PLATFORM, "Windows");
       
        capabilities.setCapability("app", "C:\\Android Apps\\Calculator.apk");      //This is path of your application
        capabilities.setCapability("app-package", "com.calculator");                    // This is package name of your app
        capabilities.setCapability("app-activity", "MainActivity");                          // This Launcher activity of your app

    RemoteWebDriver remoteWebDriver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);


and then write your testcase.

5. Now Launch emulator or connect android device
6. Click on Launch button on appium.exe which you opened at step 3. (Make sure that first you have to connect device/launch emulator  and then launch Appium)
7. Execute your test cases
8. And post if there is any problem

thanx,

Hi Fiona,

In your code I am seeing,

capabilities.setCapability("app-activity", "com.example.android.contactmanager.ContactManager");

Here I think your app-activity is  "ContactManager" only.
So try with,
capabilities.setCapability("app-activity", "ContactManager");

thanx,

Hi Pramod,

what if i need to operate several activities, 

i mean my test case is like this:

1. launch the application test 

2. click text "ssq"

3. click toggleButton[2],toggleButton[3],blah blah

after step 2, the application goes to another activity, and in the new activity, i need to click those toggleButtons, but remote server shows the error like last post mentioned, 

and I tried to put the second activity into capabilities, it doesnt work, i suppose i need to get a new session or something else?

if the application need to change from activity from activity....what should i do?

and how did you deal with these kind of situation?

here is my code:

thank you

[Pramod Sadaphal]

Hi Fiona,

You need not to define next activity. Appium takes care of it. But if the case is that your launcher activity is different than your current activity then you have to mention it in desired capabilities like below,

capabilities.setCapability("app-wait-activity", "your_activity_name");

Convert your .apk file into java classes. Then you can get your all activities classes.

Hi Pramod,

I setup the appium but getting the below error while executing the code.

org.openqa.selenium.remote.SessionNotFoundException: A session is either terminated or not started (Original error: Could not find adb in tools, platform-tools, or build-tools; do you have android SDK installed?) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

[Umar Ali Khan]

Hi Pramod,

This is a good thread to start with Appium on windows 7 with java. I have two questions:

1. How can I get the list activities valid for the given apk?
2. What if I want to check a scenario for already installed app on the device. Say I want to launch a calculator, check 2+2 =4 and close the calculator.
   

Please help.

Regards
Umar

[mummana subramanya]

u can use App resigner tool :) to get the packages and activities of a given apk

[Umar Ali Khan]

Thanks Mummana,

How about the question # 2 : What if I want to check a scenario for already installed app on the device. Say I want to launch a calculator, check 2+2 =4 and close the calculator.

Regards
Umar

[Umar Ali Khan]

Thanks for all the help.

I am playing around with calculator native app. So far I am successful in mimicking 2+2=4. I want to get the result (that is displayed after pressing =) and I don;t know the the ID or Name of the text field which is showing the result. I am successful in locating 2, +, and = buttons and click on them but don't know the result field locator ID/Name.

Following code is working fine:
remoteWebDriver.findElementByName("2").click();
            remoteWebDriver.findElementByName("+").click();
            remoteWebDriver.findElementByName("2").click();
            remoteWebDriver.findElementByName("=").click();

Following code gives the problem:

System.out.println(remoteWebDriver.findElementById("com.android.calculator2:id/display").getText());

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply,

I was able to install appium on XP and installation is complete.

1. Where do u write the scripts for the emulator?

2. Do u write it in eclipse and then launch the emulator thru eclipse?

3. Do u use selenium webdriver commands to write the scripts in eclipse?

Any help would be of great help

Thanks,

Siva

[Pramod Sadaphal]

Hi Siva,

1. Where do u write the scripts for the emulator?

-didn't get ur quest.
-No need to write diff scripts for emulator

2. Do u write it in eclipse and then launch the emulator thru eclipse?

-it will be better to write in eclipse
-You can test on emulator launched from eclipse, emulator launched from sdk, real device

3. Do u use selenium webdriver commands to write the scripts in eclipse?

-yes

[Siva R]

Hi Pramod, 

Thanks again for the quickness.

1. So to get it straight, i write webdriver commands in eclipse to launch the emulator from eclipse, and also commands for launching the app and operations inside thru selenium. Once launched i use appium to automate the same, 

Are there any sample tests that you can help me with?

Thanks

[Siva R]

Hi All,

Just one quick question, 

Can we test Native apps on the emulator using Selenium Webdriver? Or can we test only Browser based apps?

[Pramod Sadaphal]

Yes, we can test native android and ios apps, on emulator and devices with Appium. Appium makes use of selenium webdriver for communicating with apps.

The launch AVD checkbox doesn't work right now. Please launch the AVD manually before the tests. There is already a GitHub issue on this.

Hello 

Observed in your screenshot that the driver object is null and the object is not getting created. Can you please add the following line.

    driver = new SwipeableWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), getSelendroidCapabilities());
       

Also add following class in your package.


public class SwipeableWebDriver extends RemoteWebDriver implements HasTouchScreen {
    private RemoteTouchScreen touch;

    public SwipeableWebDriver(URL remoteAddress, Capabilities desiredCapabilities) {
        super(remoteAddress, desiredCapabilities);
        touch = new RemoteTouchScreen(getExecuteMethod());
    }

    public TouchScreen getTouch() {
        return touch;
    }
}

If you want to install appium from npm, this is what you do from any directory

Hi Fiona,

Are u trying Android on Windows + Java???
then do following steps;

1. Go to appium.io site on your windows PC and download AppiumForWindows
2. Unzip it
3. Now, the folder contains Appium.exe file, run it by double clicking, it will look like,
 



4. No need to change the IP address and port number.
5.In your program set desired capabilities at starting like below,(following is java code),

       
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "Android");
        capabilities.setCapability("device", "Android");
        capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "4.2");
        capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PLATFORM, "Windows");
       
        capabilities.setCapability("app", "C:\\Android Apps\\Calculator.apk");      //This is path of your application
        capabilities.setCapability("app-package", "com.calculator");                    // This is package name of your app
        capabilities.setCapability("app-activity", "MainActivity");                          // This Launcher activity of your app

    RemoteWebDriver remoteWebDriver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);


and then write your testcase.

5. Now Launch emulator or connect android device
6. Click on Launch button on appium.exe which you opened at step 3. (Make sure that first you have to connect device/launch emulator  and then launch Appium)
7. Execute your test cases
8. And post if there is any problem

thanx,

Hi,

I have downloaded AppiumForWindows-0.7.0 from http://appium.io/. But what next. I didn't get any proper documentation for running Appium on Windows. Also I haven't found any sample test project for automating android app using Java. I have also gone through the documentation from site http://appium.io/. Sorry, but not found useful. Is anybody able to run appium on windows for testing android app using Java?? Please share step by step approach for automating using Appium after downloading AppiumForWindows-0.7.0 on windows.

thanks.
