這些工具將提高您的Android生產率 (These tools will boost your Android productivity)

The main purpose of this post is to list and describe tools (mainly free ones), which allow you to boost your productivity, efficiency, and increase the hype among your product owners and managers.

這篇文章的主要目的是列出和描述工具(主要是免費工具)，這些工具可讓您提高生產率，效率并增加產品所有者和經理之間的炒作。

To every single tool (or groups of tools) I will add annotations like: [FREE] or [FREE/PAID] or [PAID].

我將為每個工具(或工具組)添加注釋，例如： [FREE]或[FREE / PAID]或[PAID] 。

Let’s not waste time!

不要浪費時間！

1. Android Tool for Mac [FREE] — when I discovered this tool, it just made my day. It is completely free and allows you to:

1.適用于Mac的Android工具 [免費]-當我發現此工具時，它就讓我感到欣慰。它是完全免費的，并允許您：

Record screen videos,
錄制屏幕視頻，
take screenshots,
截屏，
install (sideload) APKs,
安裝(側載)APK，
take bug reports,
記錄錯誤報告，
use common scripts.
使用常見的腳本。

You can see the main menu in the picture below. You can simply take a screenshot or start recording a video, by clicking on a proper icon.

您可以在下圖中看到主菜單。您只需單擊適當的圖標，即可截圖或開始錄制視頻。

The tool offers also quite powerful preferences which you can see below:

該工具還提供了非常強大的首選項，您可以在下面看到：

What is really important to me is that it can also create a gif for you, besides mp4 format.

對我來說真正重要的是，除了mp4格式，它還可以為您創建gif 。

You can set the quality of videos and gifs and also adapt Android status bar to the needs of the video or screenshot.

您可以設置視頻和gif的質量，還可以使Android 狀態欄適應視頻或屏幕截圖的需求。

One of disadvantages is that the Android tool is available only for OSX / MacOS.

缺點之一是Android工具僅可用于OSX / MacOS 。

2. Vysor [FREE/PAID] — this is a Chrome app, compatible with all operating systems1. It gives you a possibility to operate your physical device from your desktop.

2. Vysor [免費/付費] -這是一個Chrome應用，與所有操作系統兼容。1 它使您可以從臺式機操作物理設備。

As per above gif, you can use a mouse pointer to click and scroll in the device. Your computer keyboard would also work.

按照上面的gif，您可以使用鼠標指針單擊并滾動設備。您的計算機鍵盤也可以使用。

There are two versions of the app:

該應用程序有兩個版本：

Free — it offers mirroring and controlling your Android device and taking screenshots.
免費 -它提供鏡像和控制您的Android設備并拍攝屏幕截圖。
Pro — it gives you high quality mirroring, taking screen videos, fullscreen mode, going wireless and drag & drop functionality.
專業版 -它為您提供高質量的鏡像，拍攝屏幕視頻，全屏模式，無線連接和拖放功能。

Honestly speaking, the combination of the Android Tool for Mac and Vysor Free covers most of the use cases. You can do a live demo, you can take screen video and share it after, or record a gif. However, for the sake of having a really good quality of streaming / mirroring, I think it is worth it to go Pro, especially since it costs just $1.99/mo.

坦白地說， 適用于Mac的Android工具和Vysor Free的結合涵蓋了大多數用例 。您可以進行現場演示，也可以拍攝屏幕視頻并在之后分享，或者錄制gif。但是，為了擁有非常好的流/鏡像質量，我認為值得選擇Pro，特別是因為它的成本僅為$ 1.99 / mo。

To sum up, use these two apps and make your demo perfect! It will make your stakeholders happy as well!

總結起來， 使用這兩個應用程序，使您的演示完美！ 這也將使您的利益相關者感到高興！

3. Genymotion [FREE/PAID] — I think everybody knows Genymotion. If not, this is a powerful Android emulator.

3. Genymotion [免費/付費] -我認為每個人都知道Genymotion。如果沒有，這是一個功能強大的Android模擬器。

Genymotion is an AOSP, ported to VirtualBox (by integrating its drivers). It is compiled directly in x86. So it can run directly on your CPU/GPU without any abstraction or translation. It makes a huge difference in term of performance.2

Genymotion是一個AOSP，已移植到VirtualBox(通過集成其驅動程序)。它直接在x86中編譯。因此它可以直接在您的CPU / GPU上運行，而無需任何抽象或轉換。它在性能方面有很大的差異。2

The tool offers:

該工具提供：

Compatibility with Android SDK tools, Eclipse and Android Studio (there is also a plugin which I listed in my last article about Android Studio Tips & Tricks)
與Android SDK工具，Eclipse和Android Studio的兼容性(還有一個插件，我在上一篇有關Android Studio提示和技巧的文章中列出了)
lots of predefined emulators,
很多預定義的模擬器
using laptop webcam as the video source for your Android camera,
使用筆記本電腦網絡攝像頭作為Android攝像機的視頻源，
testing your app with various charge levels and seeing how it handles those use cases,
使用各種費用級別測試您的應用，并查看其如何處理這些用例，
using the GPS widget to test your geolocation-based apps,
使用GPS小部件測試基于地理位置的應用，
running UI tests like Espresso,
運行諸如Espresso的UI測試，
screencasting (taking screenshots, recordings etc.).
屏幕廣播(獲取屏幕截圖，錄音等)。

In addition, you can install Google Services applications, like Goole Play Store and enjoy the full Android experience.

此外，您可以安裝Google服務應用程序(例如Goole Play商店)并享受完整的Android體驗。

Unfortunately, every rose has its thorns and Genymotion is an extra-paid solution (just think about all these features, which I listed above). The cheapest plan costs 99€/year.

不幸的是，每朵玫瑰都有刺， Genymotion是一個額外的解決方案 (只需考慮一下我上面列出的所有這些功能)。最便宜的計劃每年收費99歐元。

Update 4th Feb 2017: Genymotion is also available for free, but for personal use only. You can download it here.

2017年2月4日更新： Genymotion也免費提供 ，但僅供個人使用。您可以在此處下載。

Another [FREE] alternative is to use built-in Android emulator. Since 2015 it works pretty well, as it uses Google Intel x86 images. I like its smoothness, intuitiveness and that it is well-integrated with Android Studio.

另一種[FREE]替代方法是使用內置的Android仿真器。自2015年以來，它運行良好，因為它使用了Google Intel x86圖像。我喜歡它的流暢性，直觀性以及它與Android Studio的完美集成。

What I really like about Postman, is:

我最喜歡Postman的地方是：

The ability to write pre-request scripts (e.g. for generating and passing timestamps) and then play with results (write tests or save results for another API call),
能夠編寫請求前腳本(例如，用于生成和傳遞時間戳)，然后播放結果(編寫測試或保存另一個API調用的結果)的能力，

具有多個環境(開發，階段/預生產，生產等)，

great documentation.
出色的文檔。

For me the free version is enough, but you can of course read more about product comparison and pricing plans on the official website.

對我來說，免費版本就足夠了，但是您當然可以在官方網站上閱讀有關產品比較和價格計劃的更多信息。
