在DesiredCapabilites中需要设置什么才能运行Applications应用程序？

Question

On the Android platform there is a menu which shows all installed applications. My goal is to test this menu using Appium and Java language.

As you can see in the attached image the package for this application is com.lge.launcher2 so the "appPackage" variable is known.

The problem is that I have to set proper DesiredCapabilities for "appActivity" as well and I have no idea where I can find this name. Using adb shell I have grabbed all installed applications and there is "package:/system/priv-app/LGHome.apk=com.lge.launcher2" but when I set my DesiredCapabilities like this:

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("deviceName", "Android");
caps.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
caps.setCapability("appPackage", "com.lge.launcher2");
caps.setCapability("appActivity", "com.lge.launcher2.LGHome");

i got an error that "Activity used to start app doesn't exist or cannot be launched!".

So how I can run this Application Menu? Thanks a lot in advance for any hints!

Answer 1

you can automate apps using appium to learn. download any sample app to ur machine,

try adding ur app path that u have in ur local machine that need to be pushed to device using ,

 caps.setCapability("app", "C:\\Users\\...\\yourappname.apk");

to find the app activity name, in cmd prompt hit

aapt dump badging "fullpath to ur apk in machine"

scroll down and find the value of the parameter

launchable-activity

and replace it with your app package value in capablities
