Running tests using AndroidDriver

Once we have the Android server APK installed and configured on the Android emulator or device, we can create and run the tests using the AndroidDriver class.

In this recipe, we will test a simple mobile BMI calculator web application developed using jQuery Mobile on the iOS platform.

• Set up a new Java project

• Add the WebDriver JARS to the project's build path

• Add the JUnit library to the project
