Chating between two devices

[slakshmiics]

Hi All,

I want to automate the chating between 2 devices.
The app will be running on two devices.
There will be two users and pinging and responding each other.
I want to start two threads to open the app and I need to write a function to check the other thread is alive.

If any body automated this, please help me out..Thanks

you wrote all correct. you need to ask your questions after you start implementing and met exact problem.

After I started the server
@DataProvider
public Object[][] portDriver()
{
//Rows - Number of times your test has to be repeated.
//Columns - Number of parameters in test data.
Object[][] data = new Object[2][1];

		// 1st row
		data[0][0] ="5d6ef2bd";
		// 2nd row
		data[1][0] ="d859dc2d";
		return data;
		}
	
		
		public static String firstDeviceName="5d6ef2bd";
		public static String SecondDeviceName="d859dc2d";


			
			@Factory(dataProvider="portDriver")
			@BeforeClass
			public void Init(String device_id) throws IOException, InterruptedException{
				DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();				
				if(device_id.equalsIgnoreCase(firstDeviceName)){	
					capabilities.setCapability("deviceName",firstDeviceName);
					capabilities.setCapability("udid", firstDeviceName);
					capabilities.setCapability("automationName", config.getProperty("automationName"));
					capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", config.getProperty("platformVersion"));
					capabilities.setCapability("platformName", config.getProperty("platformName"));                 
					capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP,"/Users/shanthalakshmi/Documents/BushfireFinal/BushFire1/Resources/app/BushFire 1.0.0.4.apk");
					//setDeviceID=device_id;
					driver1=new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4733/wd/hub"), capabilities);
			        driver1.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(80, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
			      
					
				}else if(device_id.equalsIgnoreCase(SecondDeviceName)){
					
					capabilities.setCapability("deviceName",SecondDeviceName);
					capabilities.setCapability("udid", SecondDeviceName);
					capabilities.setCapability("automationName", config.getProperty("automationName"));
					capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", config.getProperty("platformVersion"));
