Login to Google account on Android

This documentation will guide you to log in to your Google Account on an Android Device on LambdaTest so you can test features/services that are linked to your Google Account.

Objective

---

To log in to Google Account on Real Devices [Android], and perform testing using Google account-related tasks.

Prerequisites

---

1. LambdaTest App Automation Account.
2. Automation script for testing.

Logging into Google Account

---

Add the following HashMap structure to store the credentials:

  HashMap<String, String> playstorelogin = new HashMap<>();
        playstorelogin.put("email", "EMAIL_ID@gmail.com"); //Add in your Google account ID 
        playstorelogin.put("password", "GOOGLE_PASSWORD"); //Add in your Google account Password

Once we have added this HashMap, we can now add the capability linking this HashMap to the capability.

capabilities.setCapability("playStoreLogin", playstorelogin);

As shown, please add your Google Account ID and password in the fields that correspond to the same.

Once you have done that, run the App Automation test and the test will start with the device already logged into the account with the mentioned credentials.

Once the test has started, you can also verify the same by opening Google Play Store.

A sample code showing the addition of Google Account is shown below:

import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.HashMap;

public class gmailLoginCap {
    public static String userName = System.getenv("LT_USERNAME") == null ? "LT_USERNAME"  //Add LambdaTest username here
    : System.getenv("LT_USERNAME");
    public static String accessKey = System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY") == null ? "LT_ACCESS_KEY" //Add LambdaTest accessKey here
    : System.getenv("LT_ACCESS_KEY");

    private static AppiumDriver driver;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, InterruptedException {
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Pixel 5");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "11");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "android");
        capabilities.setCapability("isRealMobile", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("video", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("visual", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("network", false);
        capabilities.setCapability("devicelog", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("console", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("project", "labs");
        capabilities.setCapability("build", "gmailLoginCap");
        capabilities.setCapability("unicodeKeyboard", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions", true);
        capabilities.setCapability("app", "APP_URL");               //Add in your app ID
        capabilities.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions", true);
        HashMap<String, String> playstorelogin = new HashMap<>();
        playstorelogin.put("email", "EMAIL_ID@gmail.com");          //Add in your Google account ID 
        playstorelogin.put("password", "GOOGLE_PASSWORD");          //Add in your Google account Password
        capabilities.setCapability("playStoreLogin", playstorelogin);

        AppiumDriver appiumDriver = new AppiumDriver(
                new URL("https://" +userName + ":" + accessKey + "@mobile-hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub"), capabilities);

        try {
            Thread.sleep(5000);
            appiumDriver.findElementById("google").click();
            Thread.sleep(15000);
            appiumDriver.quit();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            appiumDriver.quit();
        }
    }
}

Important:

1. The account should not be using any kind of 2-factor authentication, otherwise, the test can fail.
2. The account should not require you to allow login using a trusted device using a pop-up or OTP.

Note

Since we clean the Device after each session, ensure you are logging in to the account during each session.
