Set up Android Environment Variable

How to Set Up Android Environment Variable / Path on Windows


After you’ve installed the Android SDK Environment Kit in Windows, you must set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable to point to the Android SDK installation directory. Let’s just set up the Android Environment Variable but to achieve that you are required to have the Android installation path with you. In the last chapter we did the installation in the following path but choose the right path in case you changed the default location for the installation.
Android_Environment_Path_0

Step 1: Setting the ANDROID_HOME Variable

1) Open the Control Panel -> System or Security –> System; the same thing can be done by right-clicking on ‘MyComputer’ and choosing Properties.
Android_Environment_Path_1
2) Choose ‘Advanced system settings‘.
Android_Environment_Path_2
3) Under the Advanced tab Choose the ‘Environment Variable…‘ option.
Android_Environment_Path_3
4) Select New In the System variables.
Android_Environment_Path_4
5) Define the Variable name as ‘ANDROID_HOME‘ and Variable value as ‘C:\Users\lsharm\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk‘.
Android_Environment_Path_5
Note : if needed, modify this string to reflect the real location of your machine.

Step 2: Setting PATH Variables for Android SDK

6) Now we need to specify the ‘tools‘ folder location in the PATH variable of android sdk package. For PATH, most probably it will already exists in your machine. So just select it and choose the Edit option.
Android_Environment_Path_6
7) In the editor add the value ‘;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools‘ or ‘;C:\Users\lsharm\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools‘.
Android_Environment_Path_7
8) Now we need to specify the ‘platform-tools‘ folder location in the PATH variable of android sdk package. Select the Path variable and choose the Edit option.
Android_Environment_Path_6
9) In the editor add the value ‘;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools‘ or ‘;C:\Users\lsharm\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools‘.

Android_Environment_Path_8
Note: This screenshot says platforms but it is wrong, please select ptatform-tools.

10) Now go to Start and type cmd in the Run and hit Enter. It will launch the Command Prompt. Type ‘android‘.
Android_Environment_Path_9
Note: If the cmd is already opened, please close it and start it again before typing android.

11) it will open the Android SDK Manager.
Android_Environment_Path_10

Performance Testing in the Cloud with JMeter & AWS

JMeter is a wonderful tool  to stress test your website and  your application architecture , however if you are trying to simulate many users (>1000) one JMeter instance (=pc) will not be sufficient. You will have to set up a JMeter cluster with multiple machines. JMeter is capable or running  distributed tests , but it comes with limitations. Since most of us don’t have multiple servers laying around somewhere, we usually go to cloud service providers like  AWS , spin up a couple of  EC2 instances  and turn them off whenever we’re done. Here is the problem, JMeter uses  Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation)  to communicate to its slaves, but these connections require all machines to be on the same subnet and this is not feasible with EC2 instances. Below, I explain how to get around this problem using a 3 node configuration in AWS to execute tests. I assume that you have a written the test already and have the .jmx file r...

JMeter Exceeded Maximum Number of Redirects Error Solution

While running performance test, JMeter allows maximum 5 redirects by default. However, if your system demands more than 5 redirects, it may result in JMeter exceeded maximum number of redirects error. In this post, we have listed down steps to overcome this error. Actual error in JMeter: Response code: “Non HTTP response code: java.io.IOException” Response message: “Non HTTP response message: Exceeded maximum number of redirects: 5” This error is noticed because  JMeter  allows maximum 5 redirects by default and your system may be using more than 5 redirects. You need to increase this count to more than 5 in jmeter.properties file. Follow below steps to achieve this. Navigate to /bin directory of your JMeter installation. Locate jmeter.properties file and open it in any editor. Search for “httpsampler.max_redirects” property in opened file. Uncomment the above property by removing # before it. Change to value to more than 5 Eg. 20. Save the file and restart JMet...

SSO with SAML login scenario in JMeter

SAML(Security Assertion Markup Language) is increasingly being used to perform single sign-on(SSO) operations. As WikiPedia puts it, SAML is an XML-based open standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. With the rise in use of SAML in web applications, we may need to handle this in JMeter. This step-by-step tutorial shows SAML JMeter scenario to perform login operation. First request from JMeter is a GET request to fetch Login page. We need to fetch two values ‘SAMLRequest’ and ‘RelayState’ from the Login page response data. We can do this by using  Regular Expression Extractor . These two values need to be sent in POST request to service provider. Refer below image to see how to do this. We will get an HTML login page as a response to the request sent in 1st step. We need to fetch values of some hidden elements to pass it in the next request. We...
