I worked on Appium using Hybrid Application in java, Mean while the versions are Appium 1.4.0 and Eclipse Mars, Selenium 2.47.0. Dependencies jar files are download from Selenium, Appium.
Here Apk file is used for Hybrid Testing.
Please help me for the Script level.
We had similar issues in viewing html elements in our hybrid app.
We used the following code snippet in our setup() method while setting up capabilities.
Set contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
System.out.println(contextNames); //prints out something like NATIVE_APP \n WEBVIEW_1
driver.context((String) contextNames.toArray()[1]);

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 am looking for some free alternatives to Appium for test automations.
I'd prefer some platform-independent frameworks like Appium.
Appium is the most used cross-platform Mobile Testing Tool for hybrid and native iOS and android (from v2.3 onwards) apps from the market.
If you are looking for options for mobile testing can try other options like Selendroid, Robotium, Espresso
Or for web Playwright, WebdriverIO, Selenium, Cypress, or Robot Framework
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 want to test Apps with and in Android Studios!
I know already Espresso, Robolectric, Robotium etc.
But the most tutorials are with Eclipse like testing with Selendroid!
Now I want to test with Selendroid writing the tests in Android Studio.
Do you have any suggestions how to get through or any tutorial links?
I would also be happy for other suggestions for Testing Android, mostly
UI testing with many fragments?
The Android SDK provides the following tools to support automated, functional UI testing on your application:
uiautomatorviewer - A GUI tool to scan and analyze the UI components
of an Android application.
uiautomator - A Java library containing APIs to create customized
functional UI tests, and an execution engine to automate and run the
tests.
To use these tools, you must have the following versions of the Android development tools installed: * Android SDK Tools, Revision 21 or higher * Android SDK Platform, API 16 or higher
Read about Analyzing Your Application's UI, Preparing to Test, Creating uiautomator Tests, Building and Deploying Your uiautomator Tests, Running uiautomator Tests you can here http://developer.android.com/tools/testing/testing_ui.html#running
I built the chromium for android following these instructions https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/AndroidBuildInstructions .
I got the content shell only not the full browser.
Then, I built the Firefox for Android. I successfully got the Full web browser. But the performance of the chrome content shell was much much better than that of Firefox Android build. Now, I want to try building the Firefox Android using chromium rendering Engine, Blink replacing the Gecko rendering Engine. How much is the difficulty level and how can I start.
Thanks,
Chromium uses Blink (earlier Webkit) as its rendering, and V8 for Javascript interpretation along with various 3rd party dependencies. Even though Content shell is a small browser (sans complex UI of Chromium) it is functional and a wrapper over Blink. Having said that fitting Blink with Firefox (instead of Gecko) will be a new project by itself, probably you can try building Webview, so that you can build a simple browser itself in android. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html
Chromium - Open Source project
Chrome- Google's proprietary software + Chromium
In Android only Google Chrome can be installed as APK, wherease Chromium can be built as content shell or used through WebView
