The information below concerns legacy mobile tests that work with mobile devices connected to the local computer. For new mobile tests, we recommend using the newer cloud-compatible approach.

Description

Use the CopyFromDevice method to copy the specified file from the connected Android device to a new location on your computer.

Declaration

FileSystemManagerObj.CopyFromDevice(PathOnTheDevice, PathOnTheHost)

FileSystemManagerObj	An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a FileSystemManager object
PathOnTheDevice	[in]	Required	String
PathOnTheHost	[in]	Required	String
Result	Boolean

Applies To

The method is applied to the following object:

FileSystemManager

Parameters

The method has the following parameters:

PathOnTheDevice

Specifies the name (with the full path) of the file you want to copy from the device. Case-sensitive.

If the specified file does not exist on the device, the method posts a message to the test log informing you about the problem.

PathOnTheHost

Specifies the name (with the full path) of the file that will be created on the computer. If a file with the specified name already exists, it is replaced.

Result Value

True if the file has been copied successfully; False otherwise.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to copy the specified file from the connected Android device to a new location on your computer:

JavaScript, JScript

function Test()
{

  var fileSystemManager = Mobile.Device("MyDevice").FileSystemManager;

  var pathOnDevice = "system/app/Orders.apk";
  var pathOnHost = "C:\\TestComplete Work Folder\\Orders.apk";

  fileSystemManager.CopyFromDevice(pathOnDevice, pathOnHost);

}

Python

def Test():
  fileSystemManager = Mobile.Device("MyDevice").FileSystemManager

  pathOnDevice = "system/app/Orders.apk"
  pathOnHost = "C:\\TestComplete Work Folder\\Orders.apk"
  
  fileSystemManager.CopyFromDevice(pathOnDevice, pathOnHost)

VBScript

Sub Test

  Set fileSystemManager = Mobile.Device("MyDevice").FileSystemManager

  pathOnDevice = "system/app/Orders.apk"
  pathOnHost = "C:\TestComplete Work Folder\Orders.apk"

  Call fileSystemManager.CopyFromDevice(pathOnDevice, pathOnHost)

End Sub

DelphiScript

function Test();
var fileSystemManager, pathOnDevice, pathOnHost;
begin

  fileSystemManager := Mobile.Device('MyDevice').FileSystemManager;

  pathOnDevice := 'system/app/Orders.apk';
  pathOnHost := 'C:\TestComplete Work Folder\Orders.apk';

  fileSystemManager.CopyFromDevice(pathOnDevice, pathOnHost);

end;
