Description

Use the Run method to launch an Android or an iOS application on a device.

Declaration

TestedAppObj.Run()

TestedAppObj	An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a TestedApp object
Result	Boolean

Applies To

The method is applied to the following objects:

AndroidTestedApp, iOSTestedApp

Result Value

True if the application was successfully run and False otherwise.

Remarks

If the application is not installed on the device and its Deploy to the device on each start option is disabled (AppName.DeployOnStart is False), an error occurs.

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.GrantPermissions = 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");
  }
}
