Description

Specifies whether the application’s data and cache are removed from your Android device when you remove the application package from the device. The property value corresponds to the Keep the data and cache directories on removal option specified for the application in the TestedApps editor.

Declaration

AndroidTestedAppObj.KeepDataAndCache

Read-Write Property

Boolean

AndroidTestedAppObj

An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to an AndroidTestedApp object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

AndroidTestedApp

Property Value

True if all application data and cache are kept on your mobile device upon removing the application package. False otherwise.

Example

The sample code below demonstrates how to add a new Android application to the list of tested applications, check if it is instrumented (and instrument it if needed), specify the application’s properties and run the application.

JavaScript, JScript

function AddAndroidApplication()
{

  // Sets the current device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice");

  // Adds the Android application from the package and obtains its index in the list of tested applications
  var ind = TestedApps.AddAndroidApp("C:\\Android\\apks\\SampleApp.apk");

  // Obtains the added tested application by its index and specifies its properties
  var AndroidTestedApp = TestedApps.Items(ind);
  AndroidTestedApp.DeployOnStart = true;
  AndroidTestedApp.Launch = true;
  AndroidTestedApp.KeepDataAndCache = false;

  // Checks if the applications is instrumented
  if (!AndroidTestedApp.Instrumented)
  {
    // Sets up backup parameters
    AndroidTestedApp.BackupOriginalAPK = true;
    AndroidTestedApp.BackupFileName = "C:\\Android\\apks\\SampleApp_ORIGINAL_BACKUP.apk";
    // Sets up custom certificate parameters
    AndroidTestedApp.UseCustomCertificate = true;
    AndroidTestedApp.KeystorePath = "C:\\Android\\Keystore";
    AndroidTestedApp.KeystorePassword = "KstrPass";
    AndroidTestedApp.Alias = "KeyAlias";
    AndroidTestedApp.KeyPassword = "KeyPass";
    AndroidTestedApp.Instrument();
  }

  // Checks if TestComplete can work with the instrumented application
  if (AndroidTestedApp.InstrumentedWithSupportedVersion)
  {
    // Launches the application
    AndroidTestedApp.Run();
  }
  else
  {
    // Posts an error to the log
    Log.Error("Please use uninstrumented application or application instrumented for the current TestComplete version");
  }
}
