Cordova lesson 7: Test the App


Test the App
SDKs for mobile platforms often come bundled with emulators that execute a device image, so that you can launch the app from the home screen and see how it interacts with many platform features. Run a command such as the following to rebuild the app and view it within a specific platform’s emulator:

$ cordova emulate android

Following up with the cordova emulate command refreshes the emulator image to display the latest application, which is now available for launch from the home screen:

cordova emulate successfully

Alternately, you can plug the handset into your computer and test the app directly:

$ cordova run android
Before running this command, you need to set up the device for testing, following procedures that vary for each platform.

Example:

$ cordova emulate android
Android Studio project detected
ANDROID_HOME=C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66
studio

The Task.leftShift(Closure) method has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 5.0. Please use Task.doLast(Action) instead.
