But executed a section of the time, It will cause app crash.

It's below code has any warning?

Code: Select all

Host.Local.CloseApplication(repo.ComAppC5Sample.Self, new Duration(0));
Delay.Milliseconds(3500);
Host.Local.RunMobileApp("Device", "com.App.Sample"); 

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Your code below looks like OK.
Have you tried to start your app within the Recorder?

Could you please try our sample app (see 'Android Testing')?
Please take a look at our section 'Troubleshooting' in our User Guide.

Hi Markus,

This issue look like our app cache do not clear when test-automation restart app.
Does Ranorext has any function can clear app cache? (such as kill process)

Hello Robert,

Ranorex does not have a function to clear/kill app cache.
You could do that with 'App Cache Cleaner' e.g.

Hi Markus,

Thanks you for your help.

'App Cache Cleaner' can clear cache, (It's by manual)
but how can I clear cache when run each test case? (via code)
and if app no response, how can I do?

Hi Markus,

Thanks a lot,

I also kill process via adb.
