Could you please provide the step by step procedure to connect android device with appium in windows machine?

What are the the things we need to be installed to run android in the appium? Please give clear details.Because I am new to this appium tool.

Following things I have followed from my-side:

1.Installed Java JDK-added environment variable
2.Installed appium
3.Installed eclipse without SDK(I don't know how to configure ADT,Android SDK)
4.Connected device and run the command window "adb devices"-It is showing connected device
5.When I run the appium "Play" button showing node js started but none of the emulator opened.

Could you please what are all the steps I have missed here?

The emulator won't open unless you start a session. Clicking Play on Appium simply starts the Appium server. To start a session the simplest way, just click the inspector button (the magnifying glass).

Install driver of your mobile phone. then in Appium Android Settings(click android icon), at Launch Device section, be sure that Launch AVD is NOT selected. Also, in Capabilities section select appropriate Platform settings

  • For the error: No app set; either start appium with --app or pass in an 'app' value in desired capabilities, or set androidPackage to launch pre-existing app on device. You have to mention the application package name and the activity name you want to launch in the DesiredCapabilities. Something like this: capabilites.setCapability("appPackage", "packageNameGoesHere"); capabilites.setCapability("appActivity", "activityNameGoesHere"); – Nitesh Sep 19 '15 at 17:44
