Hi,

I'm running Appium locally for testing purposes, with a Maven and TestNG configuration. Now the Appium server is started programmatically when starting the TestNG suite. How can I start the emulator at the same time ? Usually I would use "--avd". I looked for it in the AppiumServiceBuilder, there seem to be general server flags but not "--avd" ?

When I am using the Appium (Mac) app it also starts the emulator when starting the server with "--avd" so it seems to be possible, but how ?

Would be great if somebody could enlighten me, thanks!

Actually now I can answer my question by myself :wink:

public void startAppium(){

    service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
            .withArgument(new ServerArgument(){
                public String getArgument() {
                    return "--avd";
                }
            }, "Nexus5")
            .usingDriverExecutable(new File("/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node"))
            .withAppiumJS(new File("/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js"))
            .withLogFile(new File("target/\"+deviceUnderExecution+\".log")));

    service.start();
}
