TestNG | Create a simple Maven project with Appium and TestNG

The following code sample uses the iOS and Android Appium drivers, within a Maven project and TestNG testing framework. It shows how to create iOS and Android drivers. The iOS and Android driver methods are implemented differently. In addition, each driver has unique methods and consts. 

if(os.equals("iOS")){
    driver = new IOSDriver(new URL("https://" + this.host + "/nexperience/perfectomobile/wd/hub"), capabilities) ;
}
else{
    driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("https://" + this.host + "/nexperience/perfectomobile/wd/hub"), capabilities);
}

HashMap<String , Object> script = new HashMap<String, Object>();
script.put("name", "IMDb");
driver.executeScript("mobile:application:open", script)

HashMap<String , Object> script = new HashMap<String, Object>();
script.put("name", "IMDb");
driver.executeScript("mobile:application:open", script)

((AndroidDriver)driver).sendKeyEvent(AndroidKeyCode.ENTER);

It is required to cast Appium driver to AndroidDriver to enable Android's special methods.

HashMap<String , Object> script = new HashMap<String, Object>();
script.put("name", "IMDb");
driver.executeScript("mobile:application:close", script);
