Connecting An Android Emulator
This option is for users who wish to work with android emulators instead of real devices. Silk Mobile can connect and perform tests on all Android Emulators.
The main requirement is for the emulator to be identified by the ADB. (Step 4 in here).
Most SDKs require a high-performance machine.
The minimum recommended spec is an Intel i5 processor with 8GB of RAM.
Note: For real testing you should use real devices.
Details about two recommended main Android Emulator toolkits:
The following features will not be available on such emulators:
-
No reflection can be open (Open device button will be disabled)
-
No object spy. To get object properties and to extract elements you should go to the debug tab
-
No recording
How to Add emulators:
Step 1: Configure the emulator and open the AVD on the machine.
When emulator's screen is opened, you can verify that adb recognize the device.
Step 2: Follow step 2 and onward on how to connect real device.
