Probleem

We want to run our testscripts on a real Android device. The android driver allows us to execute our tests against an Android browser. This can be a simulator or a real device.

Voorwaarden

Before we can register our device we have to download the android SDK (Software Development Kit) from the following location: http://developer.android.com/sdk/

Oplossing

We can divide this section into three parts: setup the device, install the WebDriver APK and finally run the test.

Setup the device

Connect the android device with the computer using a USB cable.

Install the WebDriver APK

1. We need to retrieve the serial id with the following command: /android_sdk/platform-tools/adb devices
2. Download the Android server from http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list and save it in the platform-tools directory. To install the application enter: $./adb -s -e install -r android-server.apk
3. Start the Android WebDriver application,by running this command: $./adb -s shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.openqa.selenium.android.app/.MainActivity
4. Now we need to setup the port forwarding in order to forward traffic from the host machine to the emulator. Enter the following in the terminal: $./adb -s forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080

Run the test

Now we have our environment setup we can run our tests. The test will look like this:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.android.AndroidDriver;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class MobileAndroidDevice {
    private static WebDriver driver;
    
    @BeforeClass
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        driver = new AndroidDriver();
        driver.get("http://selenium.polteq.com/prestashop/");
    }
    
    @AfterClass
    public void tearDown() {
        driver.close();
        driver.quit();
    }
    
    @Test
    public void measurePerformance() throws InterruptedException {
        Thread.sleep(1500);
        driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input#search_query_top")).sendKeys("ipod nano");
        driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[name='submit_search']")).click();
        String searchHeader = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("H1")).getText().toLowerCase();
            
        Assert.assertTrue(searchHeader.contains("ipod nano"));
    }
}
