Device Mirror

[Pyaman]

hi! just tried your automation framework. I like your View Spy.
but how i identify control on mobile? Android and iOS.
is there any kind of Screen Mirror in your product? Really frustrated if not.
mirroring supporting is easy.
1. For Android you can use UIAutomator to take screenshot (Need to setup an TCP server in device side). So we can capture 4 or 5 frames per second. This is enough.
2. For iOS you can use libimobiledevice to take device screenshot. It requires a MAC with XCode installed. I've tried it on iPhone, the capturing speed is good. but not so good on iPad Air (one frame per second ).

Good luck.

Hello Pyaman,

Welcome to the Ranorex forum.

Generally, it is possible to identify UI elements in mobile applications with Ranorex Spy in the same way as for desktop applications. If an element is selected in the UI tree, the corresponding screenshot will be displayed in Ranorex Spy.

Detailed information about automating Android and iOS apps can be found in our user guide.

I hope this information will help you.

Sincerely,
Johannes

Hello Pyaman,

Unfortunately, your blog entry doesn't contain an attachment.
