[APP] Mobile Test Android StandAlone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I know there Appium, Robottium and others, but is there any Android APP that can run on its own, test a mobile app and leave a metrics log in the android phone?
What I am trying to acomplish here is to get the Phone to do everything by itself without the need for and external server/android studio as a guidance.
Imagine:
Phone -> Android App launches the test, opens the mobile app, does the steps required and store the time taken for each step in a log file. Then there a python/java/nodes.js/whatever secondary process that uploads the data to the metrics server in json form.
There will be no server to run this "robot" on the mobile app everything is done in the Phone (well the script may be done on android studio on the pc or something but then it is uploaded to the App on the Phone and everything runs on it.)
Can this be done or am I overreaching?
regards,
MM5

Thank you for the move, I did read the Rules but thought this was the best forum forthe posts.
sorry and thanks,
MM5

So.. no thoughts on this anyone? I managed to install python so I have a way to upload my metrics.. now I just need a good appium alternative or a standalone robot.

We have a supplier that does this but they use their own scripts to move thru the mobile APP with the phones beeing standalone. I'm not that sciprt savy to do that, that is why I am looking for an open source app or even a paid one, for that.

combining two apk's

Hi All,
iam trying to combine two apk's in one... can anyone suggest a simple approach to this.
My use case is
i write scripts using python for android.
i can package those scripts in apk. however apk if installed on a phone which doesn't have python interpreter ask's user's to download interpretor.
what i want is one monolithic apk which contains python interpretor plus my script.
Note : looked through SL4A forum completely and was not able to find any satisfactory answer.
so is this possible or not?
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums & Read the Forum Rules
Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A
This blog post seems to detail the process of packaging a python script along with the interpreter: http://jokar-johnk.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/how-to-make-android-app-with-sl4a.html
EDIT: At least, I think it does. I haven't fully read it, more skimmed it.

[Q] What is an Easy way To Develop Android Games/Apps

EDIT: How Can I Easily Make a Sidescrolling Platformer Using An Easy Scripting Language For Android
Bump
Nobody Answered Yet I Modified My Post
Im Really Eager to start Making Simple Platforming Games For Android
bump Someone please post
There is no easy way. Anything that is worth doing is always worth the work you need to do.
Here is a Java-Script Builder
Don't know if you know anything about writing script or anything but you can PM(private message) me with an email address and I'll send you a zipped attatchment with a program for windows pc. It's called Sencha-Touch 1.1.1 App Maker.
I'm sure if your running windows on your PC and your here then you already have java runtime. Just update it if necessary at Java.com. Just click where it says "Do I Have Java" to check and update your version.
You will probably also have to go to Oracle(the java website) and download and install the "Java SE 7u2" for developers from the download section.
If you Need direct links to the Java's, I will include them in email to you.
Hope this gives ya some insight.
Can't get the zip to upload to an email but can give ya the website link in one. Don't think I'm allowed to post outside links.

Have you tried out DaVinci Studio? it's a dev tool based on HTML5 and JavaScript...
You can get it for free at their website and ask questions on their forum if you need help with it.
Eclipse + Android SDK
I highly recommend using the standard Eclipse setup with the Android SDK. Java is pretty easy to learn, and can create games that are very simple to complex. I was confused where to start off as well, and tried out AndEngine. There isn't much documantation for AndEngine, so I followed Kilobolt's tutorial on game development. One of the best tutorials of programming that I have ever seen. I am working on a platformer at the moment, and everything is going pretty well. In simple, google "Kilobolt". He has tutorials for setting everything up. However, the tutorial begins with standard Java development, and Android comes into play when you are ready to port the game. Good Luck. :good:
Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.

[Q] I want to know how to change the system camera apk of the GS3.

Greetings!
Well, is how the title says. I want to start making my own systems apps. For instance, I want to start developing a camera apk for my GS3 but the problem is that I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to open those internals files like xml files(they do not open correctly with a note app), .rsa files, .mf files, .sf files, .dex files, .arsc files and the list continues. How to compile and discompile apks or flashable files...
All of this is because I want to star my own proyect, and through this way, to enter the android developing community of the GS3!
If anyone could help me to accomplish this I would be VERY grateful! If theres a guide (I tried to look for one but my research did not throw any result) that would be better!
Hope you could understand me because English is not my main language, but hey, I'm learning
Thank You SO MUCH for YOUR TIME!
Personally I think you should start to learn the programming and code from your toaster, but hey - if you want to damage your S3 - it is your free will (I hope)
OK, let's go to the matter, first. Assessing your coding skills based on your questions, I decided that you should start your learning from this.
Furthermore, to be more presice against your questions, if you would become literate expert in above linked knowledge, feel free to use
this as a small sample.
If it made you curious, why not try for even more interesting news?

Hello everyone, this is my first thread which I've created with useful information rather than helps.
NOTICE-I'm not the developer of this app I just wanted to create it as there's no tutorial on it. I'm not responsible if you do this without the developer's permission, you MUST do it only with permission. Another thing is that I know this app has low ratings but that is because of the lack of knowledge about the app.
Intro-This is an app to edit apk files, you can edit everything except java files.
Features:
1. You can do this directly from android without pc
2. No need to do anything with a file manager.
3. Even for complete beginners, even noobs can do some things with this app like editing app name, app icon, app activity labels etc.
4. No need of paying, although you get it for free there is even a premium version of this app but almost everything needed is available within the free version. But donate if possible to support the developer.

Hello Beautiful community of xdavelopers!
I am just getting started with cordova/phonegap
I was so curious how can I connect to mysql in cordova and display its contents in app. So I came across this website that shows how to achieve the same "https://codesundar.com/phonegap-php-mysql-example/ ". I am basically trying to make android app using my web skills so I came across this ADF 'Cordova'.
I am just in alot of doubts but first one is security. When I write a code in php to connect and fetch data from mysql to display database or use mysql for user login credentials verification and build it into .apk anyone can reverse that and decompile the .apk to fetch the php code and the credentials used to access the database right?
What is the secure way around this?
As I know php is a server side scripting language so .php files are not accessible from browser so that makes it a bit secure but in case of cordova the php files will be compiled in the .apk with cordova build command
Please clear my doubt
