JavaScript, JScript
function Test()
{
// Obtain the PackageObject object
var DeviceObj = Mobile.Device("VirtualBox");
var PackManagerObj = DeviceObj.PackageManager;
var PackObj = PackManagerObj.GetPackageFromAPK("C:\\Work\\MyPackage.apk");
// Install the package
PackManagerObj.InstallPackage(PackObj);
// Launch the default activity for the package
PackManagerObj.LaunchPackage(PackObj);
// Remove the package
PackManagerObj.RemovePackage(PackObj);
}
Python
def Test():
# Obtain the PackageObject object
DeviceObj = Mobile.Device("VirtualBox")
PackManagerObj = DeviceObj.PackageManager
PackObj = PackManagerObj.GetPackageFromAPK("C:\\Work\\MyPackage.apk")
# Install the package
PackManagerObj.InstallPackage(PackObj)
# Launch the default activity for the package
PackManagerObj.LaunchPackage(PackObj)
# Remove the package
PackManagerObj.RemovePackage(PackObj)VBScript
Sub Test
' Obtain the PackageObject object
Set DeviceObj = Mobile.Device("VirtualBox")
Set PackManagerObj = DeviceObj.PackageManager
Set PackObj = PackManagerObj.GetPackageFromAPK("C:\Work\MyPackage.apk")
' Install the package
PackManagerObj.InstallPackage(PackObj)
' Launch the default activity for the package
PackManagerObj.LaunchPackage(PackObj)
' Remove the package
PackManagerObj.RemovePackage(PackObj)
End Sub
DelphiScript
function Test;
var DeviceObj, PackManagerObj, PackObj: OleVariant;
begin
// Obtain the PackageObject object
DeviceObj := Mobile.Device('VirtualBox');
PackManagerObj := DeviceObj.PackageManager;
PackObj := PackManagerObj.GetPackageFromAPK('C:\Work\MyPackage.apk');
// Install the package
PackManagerObj.InstallPackage(PackObj);
// Launch the default activity for the package
PackManagerObj.LaunchPackage(PackObj);
// Remove the package
PackManagerObj.RemovePackage(PackObj);
end;
C++Script, C#Script
function Test()
{
// Obtain the PackageObject object
var DeviceObj = Mobile["Device"]("VirtualBox");
var PackManagerObj = DeviceObj["PackageManager"];
var PackObj = PackManagerObj["GetPackageFromAPK"]("C:\\Work\\MyPackage.apk");
// Install the package
PackManagerObj["InstallPackage"](PackObj);
// Launch the default activity for the package
PackManagerObj["LaunchPackage"](PackObj);
// Remove the package
