Tool Options :
1. Appium --> only chrome browser
2. Selendroid --> only default browser
3. Chromedriiver with SDK --> only chrome browser
Limitations:
1, Supporting tools are not well developed
2, Device specific gesture are missing
3. Features are not equally supported on all versions
Future:
1. ChromeDriver will become strong contender, as chrome on android is getting more popular
2. Screencast and remote debugging by chromedriver
## Appium
#python-appium >> appium server should be running
from selenium import webdriver
capabilities = {
'device' : 'Android',
'platform' : 'WINDOWS',
'version' : '4.2.2',
'app': "Chrome"
}
driver = webdriver.Remote('http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub', capabilities)
driver.get('http://google.com')
inputElement = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
inputElement.send_keys("cheese!")
inputElement.submit()
driver.save_screenshot("some.png")
driver.quit()
#ruby-appium>> appium server should be running
require 'selenium-webdriver'
