AppList Function
Behavior: The AppList function returns a list of apps installed on an Android SUT connected through Android Gateway or an iOS SUT connected through iOS Gateway.
Parameters: None, Simple, or Full.
Syntax:
AppList()
AppList(listType)
Reading Syntax Definitions
Syntax definitions for language elements follow these formatting guidelines:
- boldface: Indicates words and characters that must be typed exactly
- italic: Indicates expressions or other variable elements
- {} (curly braces): Indicate optional elements.
- [] (square brackets) separated by | (vertical pipes): Indicate alternative options where one or the other can be used, but not both.
Example syntax:
In this example, "open file" is required and must be typed exactly. "fileName" is a variable element; it is the path to and name of the file being opened. The following expression is optional and indicates why the file is being opened. If this expression is added, "for" is required and must be typed exactly. One of the following must be included, but only one, and they also must be typed exactly: "reading", "writing", "readwrite", "appending", or "updating".
Returns: When you use the function with no parameter, it returns the list of apps that was most recently retrieved from the connected mobile device (possibly not since the connection was established). When called with a parameter, it requests a refreshed list of apps from the device. This updated list reflects any apps that have been installed or uninstalled since connecting to the device.
Using the Simple parameter with AppList() is much the same as using the function with no parameter except it requests an updated list of apps from the device. The returned list might appear something like the following:
(com.sec.android.widgetapp.dualclockdigital,com.blurb.checkout,com.google.android.youtube,com.sec.android.widgetapp.activeapplicationwidget,com.android.chrome,com.sec.android.Kies,com.sec.dsm.system,com.wowwee.mip,com.sec.yosemite.tab,com.sec.esdk.elm)
When you use the Full parameter, the function requests the updated list and returns a list of property lists, where each installed app includes the following properties:
- appID: An identifier string for the app (i.e., application ID on Android, bundle ID on iOS)
- appName: The name of the app
- canUninstall: true or false, whether the app can be uninstalled
- deviceName: the name of the device where the app is installed
The output when using the Full parameter might look like this:
((appID:"com.samsung.android.app.ledcoverdream", appName:"com.samsung.android.app.ledcoverdream", canUninstall:"False", deviceName:"SM-G950U1"),(appID:"com.android.cts.priv.ctsshim", appName:"com.android.cts.priv.ctsshim", canUninstall:"False", deviceName:"SM-G950U1"),(appID:"com.gd.mobicore.pa", appName:"com.gd.mobicore.pa", canUninstall:"False", deviceName:"SM-G950U1"))
Example:
set myAppList to AppList() // Stores the return of AppList() in a variable.
Example:
if the applist contains "com.android.chrome" // Searches the returned list of installed apps on the device for the string representing a particular package
Log "Continuing with Chrome tests now."
else
LogError "Chrome is not available; exiting test now." // Logs an error and marks the script as a failure if the expected package string is not part of the return
exit handler // Exits the current handler
end if
Example:
put applist(full) into myInstalledApps // Puts the list of apps into a variable
repeat with each item apps of myInstalledApps // Iterates through the list of apps
if apps.canUninstall // For each app, checks to see if it can be uninstalled
log apps.appName
end if
end repeat
GetDeviceOrientation Function
Behavior: This function returns the current rotation of the device screen. The possible values are the same as the parameters for the SetDeviceOrientation command: LandscapeLeft, LandscapeRight, Portrait, PortraitUpsideDown.
Parameters: None.
Syntax:
GetDeviceOrientation()

Returns: The current rotation of the device screen. For example: Portrait.
Example:
put "Device rotated to " & GetDeviceOrientation()
Example:
myDeviceOrientation "LandscapeLeft" // Calls a custom handler named "myDeviceOrientation" as a command, with one parameter value "LandscapeLeft"
to myDeviceOrientation orientation // Declares a custom handler using the generic "to" syntax. A generic handler can be called as a command or function.
if the GetDeviceOrientation is orientation then // Checks whether the current device orientation matches the desired orientation.
Log "Device is in the expected orientation."
else
LogWarning "Setting device orientation now."
SetDeviceOrientation orientation // Uses the SetDeviceOrientation command to put the SUT into the desired orientation.
end if
end myDeviceOrientation
