Cannot open Android Emulator using openApp "emulator64-arm"

Asked by Jeremiah Jacquet

Hi I am trying to bring the Android Emulator to the front of the screen once I have manually launched it using the command lines in the "/android-sdk-mac_86/tools".

I am doing this in Java

Here is the method I am using once its launched, but it doesn't work:

 public static void setAndroidSim() throws Exception {
  SikuliScript app = new SikuliScript();

  app.openApp("emulator64-arm");
 }

Please note this works for all the other running apps

Is it running under another name that I can't see?
The header of the emulator shows the port and device as named in the device manager (i.e. 5554:NAME_OF_DEVICE_FROM_AVD)

--1. when programming in Java, you should not step up to the Jython level (do not use classes SikuliScript...), unless you want to run Jython scripts from inside Java.

--2. use
App.focus("app-name");

Internally the process name is used to identify the app (be aware: on Mac currently it is not possible to bring to front a specific window of an app).

Looking into the activity monitor might help (open files) or ps on command line, to find out what "app-name" should be.

On my Mac I looked in Activity Monitor, ran 'top' in the Terminal and used the name of the Android Emulator emulator64-x86. Sikuli does not find it.

 - I launch the android emulator using command line in the terminal:
/adt-bundle-mac-x86/sdk/tools/emulator -avd TestAndroidNexus

My Java code is as follow:

  App myApp = new App("emulator64-x86");
  App.open("emulator64-x86");

The console output in Eclipse says:

[log] App.open emulator64-x86(0)
[error] App.open failed: emulator64-x86 not found

Maybe its as you said "(be aware: on Mac currently it is not possible to bring to front a specific window of an app)."

so simply
App emu = App.open("/adt-bundle-mac-x86/sdk/tools/emulator"); // static method

should work.
if not, emu is null

Can you help with this problem?
