To automate Android OS, Ranorex Studio requires access to a Java Development Kit (JDK). If you have installed JDK 17+, you need to configure Ranorex Studio to use it. This ensures that all mobile automation features work correctly with your environment.
Note: To automate Android applications, you need to install Java 8 (which includes the JRE).
Set the JDK path
You define the location of your JDK through the Ranorex Studio settings.
- Open Ranorex Studio.
- Navigate to Settings > Plugins > User settings > Mobile.
- Locate the Java runtime installation path field.
- Enter the path or click the browse button to select the folder where you installed the JDK (for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17).
- Save your changes.
Once you set this path, Ranorex Studio automatically uses this JDK for Android automation.
