1. Honeydew
a Ruby driver for UIAutomator which enables automated
testing of Android devices.

2. UI Automator
 “The uiautomator* testing framework lets you test your
user interface (UI) efficiently by creating automated
functional UI testcases that can be run against your app on
one or more devices.”
 uiautomatorviewer - A GUI tool to scan and analyze the
UI components of an Android application.
 uiautomator - A Java library containing APIs to create
customized functional UI tests, and an execution engine
to automate and run the tests.
*Android SDK Tools, Revision 21 or higher
*Android SDK Platform, API 16 or higher
>= Android 4.1 Jelly Bean = API level 16

3. Workflow for the uiautomator testing
framework
1. “Prepare to test by installing the app on a test device,
analyzing the app’s UI components, and ensuring that
your application is accessible by the test automation
framework.
2. Create automated tests to simulate specific user
interactions on your application.
3. Compile your test cases into a JAR file and install it on
your test device along with your app.
4. Run the tests and view the test results.
5. Correct any bugs or defects discovered in testing.”

4. Workflow for the uiautomator testing
framework
1. $ uiautomatorviewer
2. Write test cases in Java using UI Automator API
3. $ ant build
4. $ adb push <path_to_output_jar> /data/local/tmp/
$ adb shell uiautomator runtest YourJar.jar -c
yourtestpackage.YourTest
