Sorry for using your topic, but my question is similar :smile:

Is there a way to find out the android API of the phone we are using? Because API 17 for example fails on simple things such as text(“my_text”), button(“button_name”), etc. So I’m thinking of having different code for some methods.

Thx

Hmmm. You could try using the pullFile command to download and open the AndroidManifest file for the app…

@Telmo_Cardoso I think you should keep track within your own test framework.

@jonahss,

It would be of great help if you can help me with usage of pullfile. Where can I find AndroidManifest.xml in device/emulator for a particular app. Or is there a way to get the AndroidManifest.xml using apk.

Thanks,
Raghu

Below command should work

aapt l -a name.apk
