TO Launch Emulator in Command prompt in MAC:
${ANDROID_HOME}/emulator/emulator -avd Android
How to start appium server using Program:
Install Node Js:
https://nodejs.org/en/
Install appium:
npm install -g appium
Once the appium is installed use this method in your program to launch appium server:
private static AppiumDriverLocalService service=null;
public void startServer() {
service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildDefaultService();
service.start();
}
To Stop Appium Server Use this method in your program:
public static void stopAppiumServer() throws Exception{
service.stop();}
To Launch Android Emulator use this method in your program :
public static void startAndroidEmulator() throws Exception{
Process p; if(System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")==null)
p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/Users/premkumar/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/"
+"emulator -avd "+lib.getProperty("ANDROID_DEVICE_NAME"));
else
p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")+"/emulator/"
+"emulator -avd "+lib.getProperty("ANDROID_DEVICE_NAME"));
Thread.sleep(10000);
}
To Close Android Emulator use this method in your program:
public static void stopAndroidEmulator() throws Exception{
Process p;
if(System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")==null)
p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/Users/premkumar/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/
adb -e emu kill");
else
p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME")+"/platform-tools/
adb -e emu kill");
Thread.sleep(10000);}
To launch App use this method:
(Please make sure, I used lib.getProperty method to get value from the file , in that place use the value instead of method)
public static void AndroidappLauch() throws Exception {
DesiredCapabilities capabilities=new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME,
lib.getProperty("ANDROID_DEVICE_NAME"));
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP,
System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/MobileApps/"+
lib.getProperty("ANDROID_APP"));
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME,"Android");
AndroidDriver driver=new AndroidDriver(new
URL(lib.getProperty("APPIUM_SERVER_URL")), capabilities);
framework.setAndroidDriver(driver);}
