Running Tests on Gradle Managed Devices

Agent skill
1 skill

Use this skill to run instrumented Android tests on Gradle Managed Devices (GMD) — emulators that Gradle provisions, boots, runs tests on, and tears down, so CI and every developer get the same device without managing an emulator by hand. Covers the android.testOptions.managedDevices { localDevices { create(...) { device; apiLevel; systemImageSource } } } DSL, ManagedVirtualDevice, device groups, the generated tasks ( DebugAndroidTest, GroupDebugAndroidTest, allDevicesCheck), Automated Test Device (ATD) images (aosp-atd/google-atd) for lighter headless CI, test sharding across managed-device copies, where the HTML report and extra outputs land, and how this differs from connectedAndroidTest and adb shell am instrument. Use when the user mentions "Gradle Managed Devices", "managedDevices", "allDevicesCheck", "ManagedVirtualDevice", "pixel2api30DebugAndroidTest", "ATD image", "automated test device", or "reproducible emulator for tests".
