Recording external applications on Android
Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:26 pm
Hi,
Currently I'm testing ranorex demo version 5.3.0 if it would give some benefit on some of our products. I'm running it on Win7, on my phone there I have Lollipop 5.0.1.
I have a use case which I'm trying to record where our application is running an external application to browse photos on phone's memory. As the external application is opened the ranorex service connection is lost and recording is stopped.
I've seen a similar thread here on this forum but it was about iOS and running native applications, so a bit different situation. I have tried to instrument a non-native Android application (QuickPic in my case) and open the gallery with this (pre-instrumented) application but still no success. Service connection is lost also in this case.
So my question would be if it's possible to run external application while recording on Android. If not, is there any other way around?
Thanks for support!
