as we know Appium has functionality to generate script for Mobile Testing. actually I want to to add this functionality in project. is it possible using java.
You have to implement the functionality by yourself, probably build a full app.
Appium-Desktop is s Node.js application, if you are familiar with js you can get idea for implementation from source code

Can I test flutter app (for example in apk) using WebdriverIO?
I saw there is a flutter driver for Appium. Is it supported with WebriverIO as well? How is it handled?
Yes you can. You have to use Appium Automation to interact with your Flutter mobile app.
Setup your own WebdriverIO Appium project, or start from a featured boilerplate, as such.
Integrate the appium-flutter-driver into your project and start using it inside your test cases.
LE: Alternatively, you can try SauceLab's Appium-Flutter-Driver implementation using WebdriverIO. See it here.
You can find multiple examples online for configurations. A simple Google search even gives you a full video tutorial on how to setup everything.
I have experience in iOS native develop. I am new to react native. before to start what are language i must be familiar?. like Java Script
I clearly depends on what exactly do you want to do.
Only React Native? Then it is just a mix of JavaScript and Node.JS. You don't specifically use HTML, but CSS helps because it uses the same concept and classes.
Do you want to also have a custom package? You will need some basic knowledge in Android/Java and iOS.
Do you want to add Unit Testing / Automation? Jest, which is basically JavaScript and Appium for example. The latter supports varios languages but you might want to tart with Python because you can run that in Cloud services for automation.
Then, are you going to build the backend too? NodeJS, Java, Net, PHP, Python, etc, etc, etc.
I want to create automatic tests for an application written in react native. I want to test only logic (not the UI).
Jest seems to be great solution for unit or even integration tests which will be run on a computer. But I would like to test the application on a real device. I have a component without UI that does some logic, wireless communication with other devices etc. I need to test that communication especially, which cannot be done without a device.
Are there any frameworks or standard solutions to do such thing?
Ok, I did my research about testing react native applications.
At the moment ReactNative doesn't provide a platform independent test framework that could run integration (not UI) tests on real device. In fact there is a RCTTestRunner but it's functionality is limited and it works only for iOS devices.
Functional tests
There are multiple functional test frameworks. These tests mainly depend on UI components and are used for black-box testing of user interactions. There are two mature cross platform frameworks that could be used for that: Calabash and Appium. Appium seems to be better solution as it's a single tool for both platforms (Calabash is actually set of two projects for iOS and Android). Also Appium supports multiple languages (JavaScript, Python, Java, ...) when Calabash supports only Ruby.
There is also a Cavy project that looks promising but uses React ref generating functions in a hacky way and needs multiple modifications in the application code.
But all of that is intended to do only UI testing.
Workaroud solution
The solution which I used to test logic of the application (without being influenced by UI changes) is following. I created special version of the application (by creating new target) which have replaced the main UI component with test one. That test component runs on the top of the application. It is just triggering tests and displaying the logs. These logs are then read and parsed by functional test framework to produce the report.
I am new in Automating the apps for testing Android and i like to advance to this level... I have researched for Appium and Calabash... but knowing the difference pretty complicated.. There are my questions:
1: For Calabash, do we need the source code, i mean can i have APK and give test cases and so on? or do I NEED the source code even if im using the elements from app?
2: I heard i can use the Appium with cucumber, and same question do i need source code for that?
I have researched about it and all i get is for Apple apps... but nothing much for android...
You don't need source code. All you need is apk file, packageName and ActivityName to launch the app.
In Appium framework, all you need is app file (for android it will be simply .apk file).
Source code will be never needed, all elements from UI that you would like to interact with, can be simply get from Appium Inspector.
For both calabash and Appium you don't need to source code. you can automate application using apk file.
Yes you can use Appium with cucumber.
To find object locators of application use calabash console and Android UI Viewer, Appium GUI.
I would like build a app using sproucore framework, but i also want to integrate it with Titanium to have some desktop capability like file system, packaging, offline working etc...
I know that with sproutcore 2 this would be pretty easy since it allows to use the framework like a normal javascript library. But the project is still in beta and the docs are patchy at most (I consider patchy even the 1.x docs, actually).
So, I want to ask, which would be the best way to go to integrate sproutcore and Titanium API?
Titanium's main mission is to use JavaScript to build native apps, not to provide a OS-access layer for web apps. It would be hard to mix native and SproutCore UI elements.
That being said, here's some information that might help you:
Titanium has reversed it's application model starting with version 1.0:
http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/71/what-happened-to-html--css
The main app doesn't run in a web view anymore, instead it runs directly in JavaScriptCore and creates only native UI elements. One of the native UI elements is a web view
(http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest/Titanium.UI.WebView-object)
and it's possible to make that full screen and run your SproutCore app inside of the web view. From there, you can call out to Titanium to call Titanium methods for file system access and the like.
Also, if you only target the desktop, you could even access the JavaScript context object of a webview and use it directly in JavaScriptCore.
