# Mobile Appium Test Android UI automation testing using Appium with USB-connected real devices. ## Prerequisites **Required tools (must be installed):** - ADB (Android Debug Bridge) - part of Android SDK - Appium Server (v2.x recommended) - Appium Doctor (`npm install -g @appium/doctor`) **Verify installation:** ```bash adb version appium --version appium doctor ``` ## Quick Reference ### Device Connection | Goal | Command | |------|---------| | List connected devices | `adb devices` | | Get device info | `adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release` | | Restart ADB server | `adb kill-server && adb start-server` | | USB debug authorization | Check phone for authorization prompt | ### Appium Server | Goal | Command | |------|---------| | Start Appium | `appium --address 127.0.0.1 --port 4723` | | Start with relaxed security | `appium --relaxed-security` | | Check Appium status | `curl http://127.0.0.1:4723/status` | ### Common Appium Operations | Goal | Endpoint/Action | |------|-----------------| | Start session | `POST /session` with capabilities | | Find element | `POST /session/{id}/element` | | Click element | `POST /session/{id}/element/{id}/click` | | Send keys | `POST /session/{id}/element/{id}/value` | | Take screenshot | `GET /session/{id}/screenshot` | | Get page source | `GET /session/{id}/source` | | Quit session | `DELETE /session/{id}` | ## Typical Workflow ### 1. Verify Device Connection ```bash adb devices ``` Ensure device shows `device` status (not `unauthorized` or `offline`). ### 2. Start Appium Server ```bash appium --address 127.0.0.1 --port 4723 --relaxed-security ``` ### 3. Run Test Use desired capabilities for USB device: ```json { "platformName": "Android", "deviceName": "device", "udid": "<device-udid>", "app": "/path/to/app.apk", "automationName": "UiAutomator2", "noReset": true } ``` ### 4. Common Test Scenarios - **Install app**: `adb install app.apk` - **Launch app**: Appium `appActivity` capability - **Find element by ID**: `find_element("id", "com.example:id/button")` - **Find element by text**: `find_element("xpath", "//*[@text='Submit']")` - **Swipe**: Appium touch action - **Get logs**: `adb logcat` ## Error Handling | Error | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | `device not found` | USB connection issue | Check `adb devices`, restart ADB server | | `unauthorized` | USB debug not authorized | Unlock phone, authorize the computer | | `no such element` | Element not found | Use `find_elements` with wait, check page source | | `session not created` | Capability mismatch | Verify UDID, platform version, app path | ## Notes - Always use `UdID` from `adb devices` for real device testing - Use `UiAutomator2` as automation engine for Android - `noReset: true` preserves app state between sessions - For WiFi debugging: `adb tcpip 5555` then `adb connect <IP>:5555`
