Android Automation Test (1) How to install and uninstall an app

1. Android AAPT
AAPT is an abbreviation for the Android Assert packaging tool that uses AAPT to view the APK information and to list the contents of the APK package


2. Monkey Runner and Chimpchat
The Monkeyrunner tool provides an API for writing programs, control an Android device or emulator from outside of Android OID code.
With the Monkeyrunner, you can write a Python program, the installs an Android application or the test package, runs it,
Sends keystrokes to it, takes screenshots of their user interface, and stores screenshots on the workstation.
The Monkeyrunner tool is primarily designed to test applications and devices at the functional/framework level and for run Ning Unit test Suites,
But is free to use it for other purposes.
The Monkeyrunner tool provides an API to program an Android device or emulator from outside the Android source.
You can use Monkeyrunner to write a Python program to install an Android app and test package, run it, send key event, screenshot, exist locally.
The design of the Monkeyrunner tool originates from a test suite that tests applications and equipment at the functional/framework level, and runs unit tests,
But you can also use it for free for other purposes.

3, use Java to language to invoke the Monkeyrunner API

Import Com.android.chimpchat.adb.adbbackend;import Com.android.chimpchat.core.ichimpdevice;public class MonkeyTest {public    static void Main (string[] args) {        //Sdk/platform-tools have to is in PATH env variable in order to find a DB        Ichimpdevice device = new Adbbackend (). Waitforconnection ();        Print Device Name        System.out.println (Device.getproperty ("Build.model"));        Take a snapshot and save to Out.png        Device.takesnapshot (). WriteToFile ("Out.png", null);        Device.dispose ();    }}

The Library dependencies is:
Chimpchat.jar, Common.jar, Ddmlib.jar, Guava-13.0.1.jar, Sdklib.jar
They can all is found in the Sdk/tools/lib subdirectory of the ADT bundle.


4, Complete installation and unloading package process, so as to complete the first step of automated testing

Package Com.robot.dream.test;import Com.android.chimpchat.adb.adbbackend;import Com.android.chimpchat.core.ichimpdevice;import Com.sinaapp.msdxblog.apkutil.entity.apkinfo;import Com.sinaapp.msdxblog.apkutil.utils.apkutil;public class Monkeytest {public static void main (string[] args) {St        Ring Testapkpath = "d:\\apks_bak\\androidsensorbox.apk";        System.out.println ("Start");        Ichimpdevice device = new Adbbackend (). Waitforconnection ();        System.out.println ("Monkey Test Connected");        Device.installpackage (Testapkpath);        SYSTEM.OUT.PRINTLN ("Install package success");        try {thread.sleep (3000);        } catch (Interruptedexception E1) {//TODO auto-generated catch block E1.printstacktrace ();            try {apkinfo apkinfo = new Apkutil (). Getapkinfo (Testapkpath);            String pkgname = Apkinfo.getpackagename ();            SYSTEM.OUT.PRINTLN ("Package name is" +pkgname); Device.remoVepackage (Pkgname);        SYSTEM.OUT.PRINTLN ("Remove package success");        } catch (Exception e) {e.printstacktrace ();        }//Print Device Name System.out.println (Device.getproperty ("Build.model"));        Take a snapshot and save to Out.png Device.takesnapshot (). WriteToFile ("D:\\out1.png", "PNG");    Device.dispose (); }}
