The Java Development Kit is a distribution of Java technology by Oracle Corporation. It implements the Java Language Specification and the Java Virtual Machine Specification and provides the Standard Edition of the Java Application Programming Interface.

Appium is an open-source project and ecosystem of related software, designed to facilitate UI automation of many app platforms, including mobile (iOS, Android, Tizen), browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), desktop (macOS, Windows), TV (Roku, tvOS, Android TV, Samsung), and more!

Appium setup

1. npm install -g appium@next
2. appium driver install xcuitest
3. appium driver install uiautomator2

4. Start appium:

appium —relaxed-security —base-path /wd/hub

Run via the terminal the following command to start the emulator:

emulator -avd Native_API_33 -writable-system -noaudio -no-cache -no-snapshot-save

CREATE HOST

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             ip6-localhost
10.0.2.2        home.tc.loc
10.0.2.2        api.tc.loc
127.0.0.1       home.tc.loc
127.0.0.1       api.tc.loc

Push host to Android emulator:

1. adb root
