Android Device Name

[outi5]

Apologies if this has been asked and answered, I haven't been able to find it.

In Device Farm the Name field for iOS is displaying the value that is set in the desired capabilities under "appium:deviceName":, but for Android it does not display this value. It looks like uiautomator2 requires, but ignores the "appium:deviceName": data, so that's probably the issue. Is there a work around to get the Android device name to show up in Device Farm?

Relatedly, where does Device Farm pull the data from that is displayed?

Thanks for raising this @outi5. Currently, we simply ask adb -P 5037 -s emulator-5554 shell getprop ro.product.name seems like this does not give the device name which the user has entered.

We need to change the implementation to adb shell dumpsys bluetooth_manager | \grep 'name:' | cut -c9- this will return the device name from About Phone.

Thanks, @saikrishna321!

I have 3 Android devices connected (2 local to the hub and 1 remote on a node). One of the local devices displays perfectly, the other gives the name, but then a whole bunch more. Here's what it looks like:

@kd100100 @SSK-14 Can we add ellipse in UI for device name?

[kd100100]

Yes @saikrishna321. It should solve the current issue. I'm attaching the image to show how it will look.
