Automating hybrid app using Appium

In the last post we discussed how to automate android native mobile application using Appium, in this post we will start our discussion to automate android hybrid application using Appium. In this post we will discuss automating an android hybrid application which we developed in Robotium series, which you can checkout here For automating an hybrid application need to do the following

• Desired capability
• Identify the control (elements of UI)
• Write the code to perform operation

Here is the complete code for the above discussion

public class FirstAppiumTest {

	// Create instance for Appium Driver
	AppiumDriver driver;

	@BeforeClass
	public void Setup() throws MalformedURLException {

		DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
		cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "donatello");
		cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP_PACKAGE, "com.example.executeautomationapp");

		driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(
				"http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), cap);

	}

	@Test
	public void SimpleTest() {

                driver.context("WEBVIEW_com.example.executeautomationapp");
		// Navigate to google.cocm
		driver.get("http://www.google.com");
		// Search 
		driver.findElementByName("q").SendKeys("execute automation");
		// Click button 
		driver.findElementByName("btnG").click();
	}
}
