在Android第三方设备上运行appium必须使用哪些文件？

Question

I use appium for the first time. I want to run a simple automation on a 3rd party installed app. I want to configure the appium server for that specific app.

I have few questions:

1. Which fields are mandatory?

2. I have to fill them manually? because my Android is plugged in to the mac, and yet I cannot autocomplete names.

3. How can I easily find the desired app apk path and it's launch activity (I guess after double clicking the apk?)

Update:

I now get the following error:

doesn't work.

new console opened:

➜  ~  echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_71.jdk/Contents/Home

Doctor:

I'm using appium 1.3.5

Answer 1

You need to mention the following fields:

1. App path
2. package name
3. launch activity(you can ask your developers to find the launch activity of the apk file)
4. device
5. SDK path
6. Bootstrap port
7. Server Address(by default 127.0.0.1)
8. Port(by default it runs on 4723)

If you don't want to mention these in the Appium, you can also mention it in your scripts by using capabilities class.

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
            capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
            capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Android");
            capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "4.4.2");
            capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "something");
            capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "something");
            capabilities.setCapability("udid", udid);
