Run multiple emulators using Jenkins Android Emulator Plugin

Question

I want to test an app on multiple emulators with different screen sizes. I prefer to have just one build plan instead of a build plan for every emulator configuration.

Is is possible to run e.g. 3 emulators with different configurations using Android Emulator Plugin for Jenkins?

Is there some other plugin to achieve this?

Answer 1

Using the Matrix plugin is a good solution for this, as discussed on the wiki page for the emulator plugin.

This lets you have a single Jenkins job, where you define the various configuration combinations you want — Jenkins will then run a series of sub-jobs to fulfil each combination, in turn creating the desired Android emulator config.
