Is there a way to start android emulator in Travis CI build?

问题

I have python wrapper-library for adb where I have unit-test which depend on emulator or real device (since they execute adb commands).

I want also to use Travis CI as build environment along with executing those unit tests for each build.

Is there a way to have android emulator available somewhow in Travis CI, so that unit tests can execute adb commands?

Thanks in advance!

According to the Travis CI documentation, you can start an emulator with the following script in your .travis.yml:

# Emulator Management: Create, Start and Wait
before_script:
  - echo no | android create avd --force -n test -t android-19 --abi armeabi-v7a
  - emulator -avd test -no-skin -no-audio -no-window &
  - android-wait-for-emulator
  - adb shell input keyevent 82 &

Just specify the system image you need in components.

Bruno Parmentier's answer includes what Travis-CI is currently recommending, but I had issues with the VM running out of memory. So instead of running the emulator while the build is running, I changed my config to run the build, then start the emulator, then run the tests.

sudo: false

language: android

env:
  global:
    # switch glibc to a memory conserving mode
    - MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=2
    # wait up to 10 minutes for adb to connect to emulator
    - ADB_INSTALL_TIMEOUT=10

android:
  components:
    - platform-tools
    - extra-android-m2repository
    - build-tools-22.0.1
    - android-22
    - sys-img-armeabi-v7a-android-22

script:
  - ./gradlew assemble lint

after_script:
  # Emulator Management: Create, Start and Wait
  - echo no | android create avd --force -n test -t android-22 --abi armeabi-v7a
  - emulator -avd test -no-skin -no-audio -no-window &
  - android-wait-for-emulator
  - adb shell input keyevent 82 &
  # now run the tests
  - ./gradlew connectedCheck
