How to retrieve test results when using "adb shell am instrument"

Question

I'm executing some tests in my Android device by using the following command:

adb shell am instrument -w package.name/android.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner

I can see the test progress and simple results through STDOUT. But, does this process also generates a results file inside the device (xml, html, etc)? If yes, where is it stored?

Thanks

I had a similar problem (I wanted to have xml test reports for my Jenkins when it runs instrumentation tests on a device). I solved it by implementing the "android-xml-run-listener" (https://github.com/schroepf/TestLab/tree/master/android).

To use it simply add:

androidTestCompile 'de.schroepf:android-xml-run-listener:0.1.3'

to your build.gradle (note the androidTest prefix - this will not add code to your production app!).

To use it, add:

-e listener de.schroepf.androidxmlrunlistener.XmlRunListener

to your am instrument command.

And to retrieve the XML report file, use:

adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<your-app-package-name>/files/report.xml
