Android automated testing (1) how to install and uninstall an application, android Automation
1. android aapt
Aapt is the abbreviation of android assert packaging tool. With aapt, you can view apk information and list apk Package content.


2. monkey runner and chimpchat
The monkeyrunner tool provides an API for writing programs that controls an Android device or emulator from outside of Android code.
With monkeyrunner, you can write a Python program that installan Android application or test package, runs it,
Sends keystrokes to it, takes screenshots of its 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 running unit test suites,
But you are free to use it for other purposes.
The monkeyrunner tool provides an API for controlling an Android device or simulator by writing programs outside the Android source code.
You can use monkeyrunner to write a Python program to install an Android Application and test package, run it, send key events, screenshots, and store them locally.
The monkeyrunner tool is designed to test applications and devices and run unit tests at the functional/framework level,
But you can also use it for other purposes for free.

3. Use java to call 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 has to be in PATH env variable in order to find adb        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 are:
Chimpchat. jar, common. jar, ddmlib. jar, guava-13.0.1.jar, sdklib. jar
They can all be found in the sdk/tools/lib subdirectory of the ADT bundle.


4. Complete Package installation and uninstallation procedures. This completes 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) {        String 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();    }}
