Question

How to download images from mobile application using webdriver\\appium? for example: whatsapp, amazon

Answer 1

If the sole purpose of your task is to download some images that are coming in through a Native app like Amazon or Whatsapp, you don't need a high level framework like Appium or web driver. You can accomplish that task through network layer.

To start with, While browsing through the images that you are interested in hook up Fiddler or Charles proxy , enable SSL proxying, install root cert etc. to see what are the HTTP requests that are giving the images.

You can mimic the exact same thing using network requests in your favorite programming language.

Answer 2

I suggest you look at HtmlUnit library.

After you added the library, the code will looks like:

File fileToSaveImage = new File(dirToSave, normalizedName);
HtmlImage elementHtmlImage = (HtmlImage) pageWithImage.<HtmlImage>getFirstByXPath(X_PATH_FOR_IMAGE);
elementHtmlImage.saveAs(fileToSaveImage);

Of course you have to care about X_PATH_FOR_IMAGE , but I am sure it can be generalized by some site-specific pattern.
