Appium for Android - Test Environment Set Up Guide

—Chen Peng

part 1: software installation 

1. Download and Install VirtualBox

In order to use Genymotion android simulator, we need a virtualbox to support.

Url: https://www.virtualbox.org

2. Install Genymotion

Genymotion is a simulation for android device.

Download Url: https://www.genymotion.com

ps: before download you need register. Don’t worry, this is free.

we need add a device which we want( this will take a long time, and maybe failed interrupt serval times, you just need try again…) 

3. install Android studio 

URL:https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

Run the studio after installation, it will download SDK automatically (this may take serval hours).

open the SDK manager and set SDK Location, and install Android 5.0 SDK. 

4. install Appium

URL: http://appium.io

5. install Maven (optional)

＊ $ brew install maven

＊ $ mvn -v

6. others: also you need java environment, intelliJ (optional)

part 2: environment configuration 

1. Genymotion setting, use Android SDK. 

2. Install ARM_Translation_Lollipop_20160402.ZIP

you just need drag this zip package into simulator, this is used  to translate code between ARM and  X86.

3. set SDK environment variable 

vim .bash_profile

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/xxxx/Library/Android/sdk

export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH

export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH

then:

source ~/.bash_profile

adb devices (run your Android simulator before this), we will use this data later. 

4. Appium Configuration

in the Basic page, need to set “App Path”, “Platform Name”, “platform Version”, “Device Name”.

In Advanced page, need to set SDK path.
