Python Automation Android Calculator
Getting Started
In the last post Appium Desktop Inspector – Part 2 we successfully used Appium Desktop Inspector to inspect elements to use for automating Android apps. In this post will cover Python script to finish out this series. This is for demonstration purposes and no error checking or code efficiency is implemented.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.8.8
- Appium-Python-Client
Download the project in the github py-auto-calc-mobile
Set Appium Python
│ README.md
│
├───apps
│ Calc.apk
│
├───code
│ calc-install.py
│ calc.py
pip install Appium-Python-Client
Include the following libraries
from appium import webdriver
from appium.webdriver.common.touch_action import TouchAction
from appium.webdriver.common.appiumby import AppiumBy
import os
import time
Setup Desired Capabilities
Setup your desired capabilities before running the test. There are two versions of this setup. One assumes calculator already installed and the other will install the app.
In the calc.py and calc-install.py file, update the information about platformName, deviceName, app(PATH of your app), appPackage and appActivity.
Already installed
# Parameters
DEVICE_NAME = "My Phone"
PLATFORM_VERSION = "11"
APP_PACK = "com.google.android.calculator"
APP_ACT = "com.android.calculator2.Calculator"
desired_cap = {
"deviceName": DEVICE_NAME,
"platformName": "Android",
"udid": "emulator-5554",
"platformVersion": PLATFORM_VERSION,
"automationName": "UiAutomator2",
"appPackage": APP_PACK,
"appActivity": APP_ACT,
"noReset": "true"
}
# CONNECT TO APPIUM
driver = webdriver.Remote("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub", desired_cap)
Install App
If app is not installed use calc-install.py then this needs to be include the following to the desired capabilities. "app": "/paht-to-app/app.apk",
# Parameters
DEVICE_NAME = "My Phone"
PLATFORM_VERSION = "11"
# Returns abs path relative to this file and not cwd
PATH = lambda p: os.path.abspath(
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), p)
)
APP_PATH = PATH( "../apps/Calc.apk" )
print(APP_PATH)
# Desired Capabilities
desired_cap = {
"deviceName": DEVICE_NAME,
"platformName": "Android",
"udid": "emulator-5554",
"platformVersion": PLATFORM_VERSION,
"automationName": "UiAutomator2",
"app": APP_PATH,
"noReset": "true"
}
# CONNECT TO APPIUM
driver = webdriver.Remote("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub", desired_cap)
Test Case
In the last post we pulled the element IDs Appium Desktop Inspector – Part 2
# Test case to test addition operation
... TRUNCATED OUTPUT ...
def test_add_operation():
driver.find_element(AppiumBy.ID, "com.google.android.calculator:id/digit_2").click()
print("Pressing 2")
driver.find_element(AppiumBy.ID, "com.google.android.calculator:id/op_add").click()
print("Pressing Plus")
... TRUNCATED OUTPUT ...
Stop the Appium Driver
def tearDown():
# Close is not working with appium so I've used quit
driver.quit()
Summary
This was a very simple setup to demonstrate application automation with Android and Appium.
