[aerogear-dev] Automatic quickstart ftesting solution

Fri Apr 3 03:48:13 EDT 2015

Hi Daniel,

yes you can test it with emulator, meaning you create AVD and provide
avdName to arquillian.xml, in this automatic scenario it is little bit
more complicated because you need to add there avdName parameter
exactly here (1). Notice that arquillian.xml file is empty regarding
of property values, they are filled by test script dynamically here
(2). Then you have to be sure your Android SDK is installed in a such
way you have Android AVD of Google API.

To not mess with bundled Android SDK in the test (3) script, you can
point test to your local Android SDK installation where, I guess,
everything is already downloaded. You just need to provide paths to it
here (4)

I abandoned emulator testing because I have some problems to automate
it and I was not able to get push message on it. Maybe I just did
something wrong. It seems you have to have Google API based emulator.
This is not very important issue for me right now, core interest was
given to physical device when it comes to push notification receiving.
