Java language binding for writing Appium Tests, conforms to Mobile JSON Wire Protocol

Depends upon the Selenium Java client library, available here

Download the jar from Maven or add the following to pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.appium</groupId>
  <artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.0</version>
</dependency>

###Structure###

There is an abstract AppiumDriver class which inherits from the Selenium Java Client. The AppiumDriver class contains all methods shared by iOS and Android. IOSDriver and AndroidDriver both extend AppiumDriver and provide more methods, and specific implementations for some methods.

###Added functions### More can be found in the docs, but here's a quick list of features which this project has added to the usual selenium binding.

• startActivity()
• resetApp()
• getAppString()
• sendKeyEvent()
• currentActivity()
• pullFile()
• pushFile()
• pullFolder()
• hideKeyboard()
• runAppInBackground()
• performTouchAction()
• performMultiTouchAction()
• tap()
• swipe()
• pinch()
• zoom()
• getNamedTextField()
• isAppInstalled()
• installApp()
• removeApp()
• launchApp()
• closeApp()
• endTestCoverage()
• lockScreen()
• isLocked()
• shake()
• complexFind()
• scrollTo()
• scrollToExact()

Locators:

• findElementByAccessibilityId()

##Changelog## 2.1.0

• Moved hasAppString() from AndroidDriver to AppiumDriver
• Fixes to PageFactory
• Added @AndroidFindAll and @iOSFindAll
• Added toggleLocationServices() to AndroidDriver
• Added touchAction methods to MobileElement, so now you can do element.pinch(), element.zoom(), etc.
• Added the ability to choose a direction to swipe over an element. Use the SwipeElementDirection enums: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT

2.0.0

• AppiumDriver is now an abstract class, use IOSDriver and AndroidDriver which both extend it. You no longer need to include the PLATFORM_NAME desired capability since it's automatic for each class. Thanks to @TikhomirovSergey for all their work
• ScrollTo() and ScrollToExact() methods reimplemented
• Zoom() and Pinch() are now a little smarter and less likely to fail if you element is near the edge of the screen. Congratulate @BJap on their first PR!

1.7.0

• Removed scrollTo() and scrollToExact() methods because they relied on complexFind(). They will be added back in the next version!
• Removed complexFind()
• Added startActivity() method
• Added isLocked() method
• Added getSettings() and ignoreUnimportantViews() methods

1.6.2

• Added MobilePlatform interface (Android, IOS, FirefoxOS)
• Added MobileBrowserType interface (Safari, Browser, Chromium, Chrome)
• Added MobileCapabilityType.APP_WAIT_ACTIVITY
• Fixed small Integer cast issue (in Eclipse it won't compile)
• Set -source and -target of the Java Compiler to 1.7 (for maven compiler plugin)
• Fixed bug in Page Factory

1.6.1

• Fixed the logic for checking connection status on NetworkConnectionSetting objects

1.6.0

• Added @findBy annotations. Explanation here: appium#68 Thanks to TikhomirovSergey
• Appium Driver now implements LocationContext interface, so setLocation() works for setting GPS coordinates

1.5.0

• Added MobileCapabilityType enums for desired capabilities
• findElement and findElements return MobileElement objects (still need to be casted, but no longer instantiated)
• new appium v1.2 hideKeyboard() strategies added
• getNetworkConnection() and setNetworkConnection() commands added

1.4.0

• Added openNotifications() method, to open the notifications shade on Android
• Added pullFolder() method, to pull an entire folder as a zip archive from a device/simulator

• Now depends upon Selenium java client 2.42.1
• Cleanup of Errorcode handling, due to merging a change into Selenium

1.2.1

• fix dependency issue

1.2.0

• complexFind() now returns MobileElement objects
• added scrollTo() and scrollToExact() methods for use with complexFind()

1.1.0

• AppiumDriver now implements Rotatable. rotate() and getOrientation() methods added
• when no appium server is running, the proper error is thrown, instead of a NullPointerException

1.0.2
