 // App1 capabilities
 String calculatorAppPackageName="com.android.calculator2";
 String calculatorAppActivityName="com.android.calculator2.Calculator";

// App2 capabilities
 String settingsAppPackageName="com.android.settings";
 String settingsAppActivityName="com.android.settings.Settings";

 @Before
 public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException
 {
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.android();
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "Appium");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "Android");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "192.168.215.101:5555");
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP_PACKAGE, calculatorAppPackageName);
        capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP_ACTIVITY, calculatorAppActivityName);
        driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

 }

 @Test
    public void testApp() throws InterruptedException, MalformedURLException
    {
        //Perform calculation in calculator
        driver.findElement(By.name("4")).click();
        driver.findElement(By.name("×")).click();
        driver.findElement(By.name("3")).click();
        driver.findElement(By.name("=")).click();

        //launch settings App
        driver.startActivity(settingsAppPackageName, settingsAppActivityName);

        //Switch OFF WIFI
        driver.findElement(By.id("com.android.settings:id/switchWidget")).click();

        //Re launch calculator App
        driver.startActivity(calculatorAppPackageName, calculatorAppActivityName);

        //Validate results
        String result = driver.findElement(By.className("android.widget.EditText")).getText();
        System.out.println("Result : " + result);
        Assert.assertEquals("Incorrect Result", "12", result);
    }
