A simple Android application demonstrating the use of Gradle Managed Devices with Android Testify.

Gradle Managed Devices is a powerful capability that allows you to manage and control Android emulators directly through Gradle. This means you can easily set up and configure virtual devices for testing directly within your build scripts, automating the process and ensuring a consistent testing environment across various projects and team members.

./gradlew GmdSample:assembleDebug

./gradlew GmdSample:testerDebugAndroidTest

Since Gradle Managed Devices requires the use of their specific Gradle tasks, we cannot use the normal screenshotRecord task to udate our baselines. To generate a new baseline, you now have two options:

1. Enable Record Mode on the ScreenshotRule: Apply necessary settings to the ScreenshotRule in Kotlin.

@get:Rule val rule = ScreenshotRule(TestActivity::class.java)

@ScreenshotInstrumentation
@Test
fun default() {
    rule
        .setRecordModeEnabled(true)
        .assertSame()
}

2. Enable the Testify Gradle Setting: Enable record mode in the build.gradle file:

testify {
    recordMode true
}

Once again, due to the specific Gradle task requirement, the screenshotPull task cannot be used. After execution, navigate to the module's build/outputs/managed_device_android_test_additional_output/ folder and copy the recorded baseline into a folder named after your device configuration inside androidTest/assets/screenshots/ directory.
