capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Galaxy
Note3");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "5.0");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName","Android");
capabilities.setCapability("app",
app.getAbsolutePath());
3: Launching already deployed app through Java code
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME,
"");
capabilities.setCapability("device", "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Galaxy
Note3");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "5.0");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName","Android");
//Give the App package and Activity info to launch the already
