How to install multiple apps in Real Devices on LambdaTest using Appium in the Java TestNG Framework
While performing app automation testing with appium on LambdaTest Grid, you might face a scenario where the APP1 that you are testing needs to interact with a few other applications APP2, APP3. In this scenario, LambdaTest offers an easy way out where you can just upload your apps & add them to the multiple apps array. It becomes extremely convenient now where you can just add those URLs & run your tests with ease.
You can add the app URLs fetched by uploading your apps in the otherApps capability.
You can make this change in the AndroidApp.java and iOSApp.java:
Below is the AndroidApp.java example shown:
public class AndroidApp {
String userName = System.getenv("LT_USERNAME") == null ?
"username" : System.getenv("LT_USERNAME"); //Add username here
String accessKey = System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY") == null ?
"accessKey" : System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY"); //Add accessKey here
public String gridURL = "@mobile-hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub";
AppiumDriver driver;
@Test
@org.testng.annotations.Parameters(value = {"device", "version", "platform"})
public void AndroidApp1(String device, String version, String platform) {
try {
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("build","Java TestNG Android");
capabilities.setCapability("name",platform+" "+device+" "+version);
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", device);
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion",version);
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", platform);
capabilities.setCapability("isRealMobile", true);
capabilities.setCapability("app", "lt://"); //Enter your app url
capabilities.setCapability("deviceOrientation", "PORTRAIT");
capabilities.setCapability("console", true);
capabilities.setCapability("network", false);
capabilities.setCapability("visual", true);
capabilities.setCapability("devicelog", true);
// ADD THE APP URL OF OTHER APPS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO INSTALL ON THE SAME DEVICE
capabilities.setCapability("otherApps", "[\"APP_ID\", \"APP_ID\"]"); // ENTER THE OTHER APP URLs HERE IN AN ARRAY FORMAT
String hub = "https://" + userName + ":" + accessKey + gridURL;
driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL(hub), capabilities);
MobileElement color = (MobileElement) driver.findElementById("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/color");
//Changes color to pink
color.click();
Thread.sleep(1000);
MobileElement text = (MobileElement) driver.findElementById("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/Text");
//Changes the text to "Proverbial"
text.click();
//toast will be visible
MobileElement toast = (MobileElement) driver.findElementById("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/toast");
toast.click();
//notification will be visible
MobileElement notification = (MobileElement) driver.findElementById("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/notification");
notification.click();
Thread.sleep(2000);
//Opens the geolocation page
MobileElement geo = (MobileElement) driver.findElementById("com.lambdatest.proverbial:id/geoLocation");
geo.click();
Thread.sleep(5000);
//takes back to home page
MobileElement home = (MobileElement) driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Home");
home.click();
driver.quit();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
try{
driver.quit();
}catch(Exception e1){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}Debug and run your code. Run iOSApp.java or AndroidApp.java in your editor.
mvn clean install -DsuiteXmlFile=src/test/java/Android.xml
mvn clean install -DsuiteXmlFile=src/test/java/IOS.xml
Info: Your test results would be displayed on the test console (or command-line interface if you are using terminal/cmd) and on the 🔗 LambdaTest App Automation Dashboard.
