Trying to get the android UI Testing that comes as part of ADT21 (http://developer.android.com/tools/testing/testing_ui.html) to work currently and I seem to be running into some issues.
After creating a test we have to set it up as a uitest-project, the web page tells us the command is:
<android-sdk>/tools/android uitest-project -n <name> -t 1 -p <path> But this appears to be incorrect and it should be:
<android-sdk>/tools/android create uitest-project -n <name> -t 1 -p <path> But on running this I get the error:
Error: UI test projects can only target API 16 and above Which i assume related to the -t parameter, i have then since tried all the values from 1 to 18 (a version of android that doesn't even exist yet) and it gives me the same error. Anyone figured it out? I assume it is going to be something simple.

Note: UI test is the term used for any test that verifies the correct behavior of a UI. They are usually instrumented tests that run on a device or emulator and check through instrumentation that the app behaves correctly. However, you can also create UI tests that are local tests.
UI Automator is a UI testing framework suitable for cross-app functional UI testing across system and installed apps.
UI Testing is one of the most critical parts of the Android development process. It helps ensure that your Android app has a smooth and error-free user interface, which translates to a better experience for your users. It can be performed manually or automated.
The answer was really simple. Examples shows you 1, what the -t actually wants is a target but the id is dependant on the results of running the command:
android list targets This command will give you a list of targets you can use with IDs dependant on what you have installed on your system.
For example on my system i got:
id: 37 or "android-16" Name: Android 4.1.2 Type: Platform API level: 16 Revision: 3 Skins: HVGA, QVGA, WQVGA400, WQVGA432, WSVGA, WVGA800 (default), WVGA854, WXGA720, WXGA800, WXGA800-7in ABIs : armeabi-v7a, mips, x86 So i use the command
android create uitest-project -n <name> -t 37 -p <path> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
