Continuing from Part 1 . . .

Step 7: Write Your First Appium Test

Now that the Appium server is running, it's time to write your first test. Here's a simple example in Java:

import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import java.net.URL;

public class FirstAppiumTest {
    private AppiumDriver driver;

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Android Emulator");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "7.0");
        capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.example.myapp");
        capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.example.myapp.MainActivity");

        driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
    }

    @Test
    public void testLogin() {
        WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.id("username"));
        username.sendKeys("testuser");
