How to check device or emulator was launched using AndroidViewClient?

Question

I am using AndroidViewClient library for one of my project. I faced with problem that my scrip working good on the emulator, but on the real device I have to add some lines of code. But I didn't find how to check is my device real or simulator. I need smth like this:

if device.isSimulator():
      # todo smth 
else  # todo antoher

Also I know that the name of simulator starts with "emulator-1234" but didn't figure out how to get the name of conncted device

I'm assuming you have generated the base of your script using culebra, if not true probably your code is also very similar to this:

...
device, serialno = ViewClient.connectToDeviceOrExit(**kwargs1)

then you have serialno that would help you determine if you are on some specific device or emulator.

All of these options will print the serialno:

print vc.serialno
print device.serialno
print serialno

On the other hand, if you have used culebra to generate unit tests (-U, --unit-test-class generates unit test class and script) you can use the auto-generated preconditions() method to check if you are running on a real device or emulator

...
class CulebraTests(CulebraTestCase):

    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        cls.kwargs1 = {'ignoreversioncheck': False, 'verbose': False, 'ignoresecuredevice': False}
        cls.kwargs2 = {'forceviewserveruse': False, 'useuiautomatorhelper': False, 'ignoreuiautomatorkilled': True, 'autodump': False, 'startviewserver': True, 'compresseddump': True}
        cls.options = {'start-activity': None, 'concertina': False, 'device-art': None, 'use-jar': False, 'multi-device': False, 'unit-test-class': True, 'save-screenshot': None, 'use-dictionary': False, 'glare': False, 'dictionary-keys-from': 'id', 'scale': 1, 'find-views-with-content-description': True, 'window': -1, 'orientation-locked': None, 'save-view-screenshots': None, 'find-views-by-id': True, 'log-actions': False, 'use-regexps': False, 'null-back-end': False, 'auto-regexps': None, 'do-not-verify-screen-dump': True, 'verbose-comments': False, 'gui': False, 'find-views-with-text': True, 'prepend-to-sys-path': True, 'drop-shadow': False, 'output': '/Users/diego/tmp/serialno-test.py', 'unit-test-method': None, 'interactive': False}
        cls.sleep = 5

    def setUp(self):
        super(CulebraTests, self).setUp()

    def tearDown(self):
        super(CulebraTests, self).tearDown()

    def preconditions(self):
        if not super(CulebraTests, self).preconditions():
            return False
        if not re.match('emulator-.*', self.serialno):
            self.fail("This tests only run on emulator");
        return True

Thank you very much! I will try to do it! – Mikhail Valuyskiy Dec 02 '15 at 12:51 — Mikhail Valuyskiy, Dec 02 '15 at 12:51

Try this

SensorManager manager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
    if (manager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ALL).isEmpty()) {
        // running on an emulator
    } else {
        // running on a device
    }

Thank you, but actually I need a python code connected with AndroidViewClient library. – Mikhail Valuyskiy Nov 30 '15 at 14:29
