I'm recently started to use python with mobile app automation, as i decided to use python, the main instruments that I've found were monkeyrunner and androidviewclient.
But there is the first issue with which i dont know what to do:
package = 'com.mypackage.android'
activity = '.launchActivity'
component = package + "/" + activity
device, serialno = ViewClient.connectToDeviceOrExit()
device.startActivity(component=component)
time.sleep(3)
vc = ViewClient(device, serialno)
vc.dump()
showMenu = vc.findViewById("id/no_id/8")
showMenu.touch()
as i'm running it in windows cmd - monkeyrunner mypath\test-case1.py i receive an exception:
131213 18:42:32.555:S [MainThread] [com.android.monkeyrunner.MonkeyRunnerOptions] Script terminated due to an exception

NotImplementedError: alarm not implemented on this platform
am I doing something wrong? Please help.
Thank you a lot!
This is how setAlarm
looks like
@staticmethod
def setAlarm(timeout):
osName = platform.system()
if osName.startswith('Windows'): # alarm is not implemented in Windows
return
signal.alarm(timeout)
so, it tries to identify that is Windows and then not invoking signal.alarm()
which is not implemented, but for some reason it fails in your case.
Try to print the result of osName
to see what went wrong.
Now I see, you are using monkeyrunner
as the interpreter but AndroidViewClient >= 4.0.0 is 100% pure python, so you should run your scripts using a python
2.x interpreter.
