How to Open Chrome Browser on android real device using selenium webdriver ?

[Shekhar Swami]

Hi,
 i am trying to open chrome browser on android device using selenium webdriver. I am able to open default AndroidBrowser on my real device, but i don't know how to open chrome(on Android device) . Please reply if anyone knows.

I dont think you can do it using AndroidDriver. You may want to take a look at Selendroid and see if that solves your purpose

Thanks & Regards

Hi I'm using selenium.net with Appium and Chrome browser opens fine.

Get a copy of Appium and start it. Then in my C# project is like this:

using System;

using System.Threading;

using OpenQA.Selenium;

using OpenQA.Selenium.Remote;

using System.Diagnostics;

using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;

namespace seleniumdotnet

{

    class Program

    {

        public static IWebDriver driver;

        public static Stopwatch miCrono = new Stopwatch();

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            // # Parámetros de la conexión al servidor

            DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

            capabilities.SetCapability("appWaitActivity", null);

            capabilities.SetCapability("device", "Android");

            //capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Platform, "Windows");

            capabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "sg4");

            capabilities.SetCapability("platformName", "Android");

            capabilities.SetCapability("platformVersion", "4.3");

            capabilities.SetCapability("appPackage", "com.android.chrome");

            //capabilities.SetCapability("appActivity", "com.android.calculator2.Calculator");

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

            driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 30));

}

}

}

When you create the instance, the chrome is opened in android device :)

of course you need the Selenium DotNet dll's in order to get it works   http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/
