P.S. Android OS automation = True

please tell us how to do it

I don't believe this particular dialog can be automated, even with Android OS Automation = true. It is a security feature of Android to keep nefarious apps from automating the process of giving permissions to the phone.

when we are testing we have to install the app. after doing it prompts this. isn't there any workaround even ?

I use ADB commands to interact with this pop up. A USB connection would be required.

For example, if you want to click "Allow" you must preform a down, right and then a center command.

You would do something like the following:

• adb.exe -s ADB_DEVICE_NAME shell input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN
• adb.exe -s ADB_DEVICE_NAME shell input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT
• adb.exe -s ADB_DEVICE_NAME shell input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER

You will need the ADB device name and not Ranorex's endpoint name.

*** Shout out to Kendall from Ranorex support for giving me this info. ***

Yes, i'm also using following adb commands for permission

Code: Select all

adb shell pm grant pnl.order.dev android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION	
adb shell pm grant pnl.order.dev android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
adb shell pm grant pnl.order.dev android.permission.CAMERA
adb shell pm grant pnl.order.dev android.permission.CALL_PHONE

but unfortunately for android.permission.CALL_PHONE i get following error, that's why I had to use Ranorex.

Code: Select all

Operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: Package pnl.order.dev has not requested permission android.permission.CALL_PHONE

Problem i'm having is few times clicking is success and most of the time it fails in automated environment. For localbox testing it is other way round.

I added

Code: Select all

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>

permission to AndroidManifest.xml file, and it solved that exception throwing when grant command.
