What You Will Learn:
Connect an Android device
To connect to an Android device, follow the instructions here:
Approve the Android Add Dialog
Open the Device
Open the device by double-clicking it once it is added or single-clicking it and selecting “Open.”
The device reflection will then open.
(Note: Click on the below image for an enlarged view)
The device reflection screen can now be used to interact with and control the device being tested.
Import Android Application for testing
Click “Import” 
to import an Android application.
Then, select the APK/IPA/APP file associated with your app. It will then be added to the repository.
Also available in the application repository is the EriBank demo app, which you can use for testing purposes.
Select whichever application you wish to perform the tests upon.
Then select “Capabilities.” This will establish your test/app lifecycle.
Capabilities will impact Recording, Code Generation, and Execution in the Appium Studio.
Record your Appium test
Click “Record” 
.
The device will then be prepared for recording.
Once it is ready, begin performing whatever operations you wish to test.
Mouse clicks and click-and-hold movements will simulate touch and swipe actions, while keystrokes will act as key inputs.
We recommend that you complete your recording on the same screen as you began. This will allow you to cycle your execution much more efficiently during the debug process.
Once the recording is complete, a script will be generated in the Appium Studio test lab.
There, the command parameters can be modified and new/existing commands can be input or edited.
The validity of your recording can be ensured by executing this recorded script. In order do this, press “Play” 
.
