2 months ago Hi! If the apps are OSS and can be acquired from fdroid.org, then you can just use adb_utils.install_apk('my_app.apk, env.controller) (example)
If the apps are not OSS, you will need to download them from the playstore. This is a little trickier and requires you to launch an emulator with Playstore. The default Pixel 6 does not, but you can use another one, e.g., Pixel 6a, which does have Google Play. Then once you do that, you can automate installation using the GUI. I wrote a quick script that you can try in a notebook.
from android_world.env import env_launcher
from android_world.env import json_action, adb_utils, actuation
import time
import os
def _find_adb_directory() -> str:
"""Returns the directory where adb is located."""
potential_paths = [
os.path.expanduser('~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb'),
os.path.expanduser('~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb'),
]
for path in potential_paths:
if os.path.isfile(path):
return path
raise EnvironmentError('adb not found')
env = env_launcher.load_and_setup_env(adb_path=_find_adb_directory())
# First, manually open playstore and login.
apps = ['brave', 'doordash', 'uber', 'firefox']
for app in apps:
actuation.find_and_click_element('Search for apps & games', env.controller)
adb_utils.type_text(' ' + app, env.controller)
env.execute_action(json_action.JSONAction(action_type=json_action.KEYBOARD_ENTER))
actuation.find_and_click_element('Install', env.controller)
time.sleep(10)
actuation.find_and_click_element('Navigate up', env.controller)It may be a bit brittle, but hopefully this is helpful to get you going.
P.S. You can use this to inspect the UI elements:
from android_world.utils import plotting
state = env.get_state()
plotting.plot_ui_elements(state)

Thanks for the great work! I would like to ask if the current AndroidWorld environment supports the installation of new apps, such as the applications in AndroidControl. If it does, what is the recommended method or channel for installing them?
Thanks!
