Appium Mobile Automation Test (iii)--install Android simulator

When the Android SDK is installed, it does not mean that you have installed the emulator. There are multiple versions of the Android system, so we need to select a version to install.

Section III Installing the Android emulator

I'm taking the Android 4.4.2 version here for example.

For example, tick the tools you need to install, and click "Installx Packages ..." in the lower right corner. "

Select the "Accept License" option and click the "Install" button when installing.

However, you may find that this method will prompt "Download interrupted:url not found." Such a mistake, then we can only install the individual downloads of these tools.

Okay, all right ! Thanks again androiddevtools.cn sharing of Web sites. The following download links have their share.

First, install the SDK platform

Android 4.4.2:http://pan.baidu.com/s/1eqf8zgi

This is the SDK required for Android development, after downloading and extracting, the entire extracted folder will be copied or moved to .../android-sdk-windows/ platforms/folder, and then reopen the SDK Manager. exe

Second, install the samples for SDK

Android 4.4.2:http://pan.baidu.com/s/1ddeskt7

This is the sample code that comes with the Android SDK, and after downloading and extracting it, copy or move the entire extracted folder to ... /android-sdk-windows/samples folder , and then restart the SDK Manager. exe.

Third, install the SDK System images

Android 4.4.2:http://pan.baidu.com/s/1i3jwhed

This is the system imagethat is required when creating the emulator, that is,when the emulator is created , the cpu/abi item needs to be selected, downloaded and decompressed, the entire extracted folder is copied or moved to /android-sdk-windows/system-images folder, if you do not have a system-images directory, create this folder and then reopen SDK Manager. exe.

IV, GoogleMap APIs SDK

Android 4.4.2 (x86): http://pan.baidu.com/s/1jGgKyZc

This is the googlemap APIs SDK, downloaded and unzipped, the entire extracted folder will be copied or moved to the .../android-sdk-windows/add-ons folder, Then open the SDK Manager

Five, Android Framework Source Code

Android 4.4.2:http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hqggrva

This is the Android Framework Source Code, which is downloaded and decompressed to copy or move the entire folder to .../android-sdk-windows/sources folder , and then reopen SDK Manager. exe.

For the sake of insurance, in case of later use and not installed, so here all installed.

Click "AVD Manager.exe" below to create the android emulator.

Click "Create .... " "

If the display resolution is lower, try to choose a low-resolution "Device".

Click "OK" in the AVD Manager window and click "Start ... " "button to start Android Simulator.
