The window re-appears.First testFor an Android application, WinDev Mobile allows you to run the test of the application on thedevelopment computer via the simulation mode. This test simulates an Android device on thedevelopment computer. This test is useful when the developer has no Android device. However,this test does not allow you to use the hardware components of the device (GPS, SMS, camera, ...).NotesWinDev Mobile also enables you to run a test of the application via the Androidemulator (AVD) supplied with the SDK.To run this test, you must:• start the AVD emulator and create different confi gurations corresponding tothe requested targets.• generate the Android application. This operation is explained in the nextparagraph.• select the requested target confi guration at the end of generation to run theapplication test on the emulator.Any developer knows that running a program test can be a long and tiresome job. In WinDev,a SINGLE CLICK allows you to run the test of the window, report or procedure while you arecreating it. This is both simple and fast!Click the "x" button found in the simulator shell to close the window.The editor of WinDev Mobile is redisplayed.First deployment on the deviceLet's now run the test of the window in simulation mode.1. Click among the quick access buttons (or press [F9]).2. Validate (if necessary) the information message regarding the simulator mode.3. The created window is started in execution. The simulator shell corresponds to:• the device connected to the development computer,• the device chosen in the wizard ("Samsung Galaxy S II" in our example).4. Click the "Display" button.5. Validate the system window that is displayed.PrincipleTo run the application in stand-alone mode on the Android device, you must:• Connect the device via a USB port.• Generate the application.• Select your device at the end of generation. The copy of the application can take severalseconds.34 Part 2: Android applicationPart 2: Android application 35
