unable to configure sikuli in eclipse IDE

--- what exactly are the error messages?

--- does Sikuli IDE work on your machine?

--- ASAP enough?

Thanks for reply Rai--- few information is added....

yes Raiman, Sikuli IDE is working on my machine, when i am going to run program (above mention) ,it is saying that the Sikuili Script launch to fail.

-- how we can add python library in sikuli IDE script, ,my python library is for reading data from excel/csv sheet.
-- I have pythin library file which will read the data from the mention target.

--My Objective

My objective is to make automation script for download and install the application from given excel sheet, mean it will take app name from excel sheet /.csv sheet and through sikuli script it will open appstore and tap on the download button once the application is downloaded and appear for installation then it will tap on Install button , as android third party apps generally do..

Request---- I am very new in Sikuli, so please help me to do this, it would help me to understand the Sikuli :)

it's great to me to do this , and understand the Sikuli in better way..

Please revert me .. as i am keen to make this happen...

Hi,

i am running my sikuli program with jave application(Sikuli.exe), it is showing the mentioned error

--- i am running my sikuli program with jave application(Sikuli.exe), it is showing the mentioned error
The above snippet is written in Java, which cannot be run in Sikuli IDE (Sikuli.exe). Sikuli scripts are written in Python language.

So again what exactly is the error message you are getting, when doing what?

--- it's great to me to do this , and understand the Sikuli in better way..
The best first step is to have a look through the docs at
http://sikuli.org/docx/
to get a first impression about the possibilities.

--- how we can add python library in sikuli IDE script,
Python libraries can only be added to Sikuli script, when they are either Python only (no native C stuff) or available for Jython.
The xls reader module xlrd (I guess you are talking about this) can be used in Sikuli script (Python only).
Have a look at related posts here.

--- Sikuli-IDE vs. Eclipse
When starting with Sikuli, it is recommended to do the first steps with scripts in the Sikuli IDE (should be started with the contained bat files instead of using the exe).

Then you can decide to move to Eclipse/PyDev (see docs) or even Eclipse/Java, which is really a new game.

If you are not really skilled in Python, but in Java instead, it might be a good idea to start with Java in Eclipse right away (many posts here with tips and solutions)

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.

it showing error in import xlrd,os..

can you please check the code .. and suggests me, it would graceful to me

--R

Could you PLEASE paste the error message !

TALKING only about like "it showing error in import xlrd,os.." does not help.

Where did you put the xlrd folder containing the xlrd module?

Hi Rai

Sorry for your inconvenience, but again this code is implemented in sikuli IDE, and python is already install on my machine.

The error message is :

[sikuli] click on (647,424), MOD: 0
[sikuli] click on (606,636), MOD: 0
[sikuli] click on (591,591), MOD: 0
[sikuli] Stopped
[sikuli] An error occurs at line 4

    import xlrd,os
ImportError: No module named xlrd

Can you please tell me where i should put xlrd folder containing the xlrd module and how i can find xlrd folder

and can you please guide me step by step for eclipse(Helios) in Linux
Till i did--
Made one java project and sikuli_script.jar file.
Add Junit.jar file

Please help :)

This is like every other Java project.
The only thing: add path-to-sikuli-script.jar to your projects library references
(supposing, that Sikuli IDE is running on your system)

Hi RaiMan

I want to test Android application , should i make android project or simple java project.

I installed PyDev pluguin , how i have to run the application.

Can you please send me the demo code for launching the application suppose i want to launch the Google play Store..

I set up with java simple project ...

Please send me the demo code for the same...

Please reply

No idea, what you are talking about.

generally I have no "demo code" for android stuff.

Hi Raiman,

I wrote a simple code (given is sikuli doc) in eclipse by creating java project. it gives ...

Window utilities loaded
Sikuli vision engine loaded
FindFailed: can not find imgs/panda.png on the screen.
line?, in File?
....
...

Steps :
-- Created a simple java project.
-- Add a scikuli-script.jar file as ref. lib
-- Write a program
-- make a folder (imgs) and a paste a images into it.

Program:
  import org.sikuli.script.*;
public class TestSikuli{
public static void main(String{} args){

screen s= new screen();
try{
s.click("imgs/panda.png",0);
}
catch(FindFailed e)
e.printStackTrace();}}}

Note: I am taking images from printscreen and then i crop it... import it to the img folder in eclipse

@ Ram
You should make up your own question, since this is not an Eclipse setup problem!
Already looked at the docs, to understand how Sikuli works and what the features are?

Your problem:
As Sikuli tells you: the image cannot be found on the screen, when your Java stuff is running.
It might be hidden behind the Eclipse window ??
So arrange the windows on your system in a way, that YOU can see the image - Sikuli will then see it as well.

Hi Rai,

Thankx ,now am able to configure the program in eclipse and it is executing successfully:

Now i want click on the app which is installed in android phone, i make a reflection of android phone in window through androidscreencast..

when i type
S.click("Google play",0);

the error message is: could not find the Google play..

how i can click on android phone...

It is what it says:
The text "Google play" cannot be found in the region S (which I guess means the whole screen).

- 1.
you should restrict the ROI of the screen to the androidscreencast window to get better and faster search results.

-2.
you should start with captured images in the first steps, since the text feature is critical.

To both points there are many tips and tricks around here and the basics are in the docs.

Thanks Rai, now i am able to launch the application from phone, now i want to press menu key...

Please share me the idea

if "menu key" is something like a shortcut key combination to access a menu entry: what about type() and the Key class???

Rai.. i am still unable to run the code through images.. please guide me..

-- Should i use printscreen and then crop it.
-- i saved images in eclipse project and when i am call to images by s.click("/images/Email.png" ,0)

when i run the code it click on the Email.png which is attached in the eclipse project.....

how i can run the code through image base in eclipse

If you do not have a proper screenshot tool, just use Sikuli-IDE to shoot and name your images.

The respective .sikuli folder can be used as image folder in your Eclipse project.

Or you copy the images to your project.

Thankx Rai,

Script is running successfully , some times it is showing error while operation..

Now i want to implement a data reading function in java, that can read data from excel sheet.

--- Now i want to implement a data reading function in java, that can read data from excel sheet.
Sorry, but this is no longer a Sikuli related question.

Look for xls access packages for Java (like xlrd for Python) or convert the xls to a csv and use the standard IO-features of Java.

Thanks Rai,

Now i am able to successfully run application using sikuli.
