Appium Mobile Automation Test (ii) Install the Android development environment

Continue to build the appium environment.

Section II installs the Android development environment

If your environment is a Mac then you can skip this section directly. Just as we were using selenium for Web automation testing, we needed a browser to execute the test script. So the mobile-end automated test, we also need an Android phone (mobile phone need to link the computer) or the Android simulator.

Installing the Java Environment

As we all know, Android is developed by the Java language, so to develop Android apps requires the Java environment First, so we first need to install the Java environment.

Java Download Address: http://www.java.com/zh_CN/download/manual.jsp

Small knowledge: The Java environment is divided into JDK and JRE, and the JDK is Java Development Kit. Simply put, the JDK is a developer-oriented SDK that provides a Java development environment and a running environment. The JRE is Java Runtime enviroment is the Java operating environment, and is intended for use by Java program users, not developers.

Open the download link and select the appropriate version to download. Let's take the Windows installation JDK for example,

Double-click the downloaded JDK to set the installation path. Here we choose to install the default

D:\Program Files (x86) \java\jdk1.8.0_25 directory.

Set the environment variables below:

"My Computer" right-click menu---> Properties---> Advanced---> Environment variables---> System variable--> new.

Variable name: java_home Variable Value: D:\Program Files (x86) \java\jdk1.8.0_25 Variable name: Calss_path Variable value:.; %java_home%\lib\dt.jar;%java_home%\lib\tools.jar;

Locate the path variable name-> edit add:

Variable name: PATH Variable value:%java_home%\bin;%java_home%\jre\bin;

To verify the success of Java at the Windows command prompt:
