i am new in appium and i want to connect my sasung galaxy note2 device to my computer(usb) and create tests in visual studio that will run on the device
what i did until now
my operation system window server 2008 r2 64 bit
connect my device to the computer
run appium server
create in visual studio the following class:
public class Class1
{
public AppiumDriver driver;
public DesiredCapabilities capabilities;
public Class1()
{
Console.WriteLine(“Connecting to Appium server”);
capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.BrowserName, "Browser");
capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Platform, "Android");
capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Version, "4.1.2");
capabilities.SetCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "Android");
capabilities.SetCapability("Device", "Android");
//Application path and configurations
driver = new AppiumDriver(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
}
i install the eclips with sdk manager and install api above 17 as i looked in the forum
try to debug and got exception in the line “driver = new AppiumDriver(new Uri(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);”
the exception is:Could not find adb. Please set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable with the Android SDK root directory path."},“sessionId”:null}
i go to system property ->advance ->environment variable
in system variable
i added also to path variable the following path:C:\sdk\android-sdk-windows
i create anew variable : ANDROID_HOME with path : C:\sdk\android-sdk-windows\
i try to add this path (in my directory:C:\sdkmanager\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\build-tools;C:\sdkmanager\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702\sdk\platform-tools)
Here the step by step to setup android devices to connect appium:
Android:
Step 1: Download Android SDK Bundle
Download Link for your reference: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk
Screenshot for your reference:
Step 2:
Once download completed , extract the .rar file and open the folder you can see SDK folder . Copy the path of this SDK folder.
Now, open the environmental variables in the windows properties and create user variables in that environment variables window with the exact name of “ANDROID_HOME” and value textfield you enter the SDK folder path.
Screenshot for your referenece:
Return back to android sdk bundle folder . Open the sdk folder you can see platform-tools folder and tools folder . Just copy these two folder path and add it in your environmental variables path.

Step 3:Once setup done for android SDK bundle. Connect your android device.
Note: Android Composite ADB Interface should be installed otherwise it will not work.
Screenshot for your reference:
Open the command prompt and type "adb devices" you can see the list of devices attached. If you got any error or did not show the devices list that you may mistake or missed steps to setup andorid SDK bundle or device.
Step 4:Once android device successfully connected. You can enable the USB debugging mode in the settings of android device.

Step 5:
Once setup done, Go to http://appium.io/ url and download the appium latest version and extract the .rar file and then open the appium.exe and then launch the appium server.
Here the screenshot of appium server for your reference:
Appium capabilities in code:
capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”,platForm);
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”,platForm);
capabilities.setCapability(“appPackage”,appPackageName);
capabilities.setCapability(“appActivity”, appActivityName);
driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL(“http://”+ip+":"+portNumber+"/wd/hub"), capabilities); Test Automation
i have samsung galaxy note2 and i connect him to my computer
i Open the command prompt and type “adb devices”
and the list is empty
when i open new emulator via the eclips and avd manager and i again open command prompt and type “adb devices”
i see in the list :
C:\Users\w6-qa>adb devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
why does i cant see my device that i connect to my computer?
ok i fix this problem (the correct adb for samsung)
i run my code and the device open the browser but after 1 minutes i got exception in the line
driver = new AppiumDriver(new Uri(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);
the exception is : The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub/session timed out after 60 seconds.
i success to open my chrome browser and make some action like login and cetera
now i try to open anative app(calculator) , i look in some forums and add this code :
apabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.BrowserName, “Android”);
capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Version, “4.1.2”);
capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Platform, “Windows”);
capabilities.SetCapability(“appPackage”, “com.android.calculator2”); // This is package name of your app (you can get it from apk info app)
capabilities.SetCapability(“appActivity”, “com.android.calculator2.Calculator”); // This is Launcher activity of your app (you can get it from apk info app)
capabilities.SetCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "Android");
driver = new AppiumDriver(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
and i get exception:
A new session could not be created. (Original error: Android devices must be of API level 17 or higher. Please change your device to Selendroid or upgrade Android on your device.) (33)
and in the sdk manager i aleready install api 20
my device is samsung note2
my android version is 4.1.2, and when i go to software update ->update i get message that latest update already installed
any idea or walk around???
and another issue that might help the appium version is 1.2.3.1
hi , i am trying to lunch Appium , but it wont go trough.
i didnt get your post last part “Appium capabilities in code:
capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”,platForm);
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”,platForm);
capabilities.setCapability(“appPackage”,appPackageName);
capabilities.setCapability(“appActivity”, appActivityName);
driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL(“http://”+ip+”:“+portNumber+”/wd/hub"), capabilities);"
do i need to run this command trough command prompt?
or i need to configure those fields under settings menu?
I’ve tried different versions , but all these are just stopping in this log event
