Execute Command

UiPath.MobileAutomation.Activities.ExecuteCommand

Description

Execute native mobile commands that are not associated with a specific endpoint. For example, you can retrieve the battery info or dismiss alerts (see Appium Commands).

Use case

Use the Execute Command activity to run a mobile command that retrieves the device time.

In the following example, the mobile:getDeviceTime mobile command is used with the new Dictionary<string,object> {{"format","YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ"}} parameters to return the date and time from an Android Device Emulator.

Make sure to define the Output property in Execute Command (e.g., deviceTime) and the corresponding variable as a Data object type in Data Manager.
