Unique Device IDs For Emulator

Chase_Woodhams 2017-03-01 14:52:52 UTC #1

Hey Guys,

I am trying to scope a project and have a few questions before diving in here..

1) Can I create 5 individual emulators all with unique device IDs and call them separately in various parts of my code.

2) How many instances of an emulator can you run at one time. I know I have the hardware to run as many as id like but im not sure how this works on the Appium side of things.

Thanks!

1) You can create as many emulators as you have disk space for. Then you can start as many as you have RAM for. Each when started should have it's own unique ID.

2) I'm pretty sure that each Appium session can only be associated with a single emulator. I suppose if you tried to open multiple AppiumDriver sessions from your test, and each was connecting to another Appium Server instance, it could work.
