uploading a text file by clicking a browse button - robotframework

I am writing robot tests for web testing using Robot Framework with SeleniumLibrary (a test library) , one of my test involves uploading a file from the desktop by clicking on a"Browse" button on the webpage and using the windows file explorer window that pops up to navigate to and select the file. I have downloaded Autolt library but not able to figure it out which keyword is to be used.Any sample testcase is more helpful.

The Choose File should work the way you want.
If that doesn't work, try Press Keys to directly type the path to your input.

How to get '.r' file without open edge developer studio?

I'm new to progress open edge. Is it possible to get a '.r' file using GUI Procedure editor or app builder, if so how to get it?
If you have the GUI procedure editor, use the "Application Compiler" from the "Tools" menu.
Or enter the following code in the procedure editor and execute (F2):
COMPILE path/to/your.p SAVE.
COMPILE path/to/your.w SAVE.
You need some sort of compiler license to generate r-code.
The "showcfg" utility will list the licenses that you have available.

Showing Files on Android

I'm very new to backendless.
And a little bit new to developing an androip app.
I'm trying to show list of files in my Backendless to my Android app.
I'm trying to show my uploaded files in my Backendless to a List View in my Android Studio Project. Wherein the user could see the files(images,documents,pdf) inside the folder and other sub folders inside it.
Backendless cares about you even if you are "very new" to it :)
Just use it`s build-in code generation tool. It already provides you a file manager for you application. You can customize it so that would pass for all your needs.
Well, open console and create your new app. Then go to Code Generation section, select Android tab and check "Simple file manager" option.
As soon as you you download the project open it in your IDE, select SDK and run.
Found it.
https://github.com/Backendless/Android-SDK/blob/master/src/com/backendless/Files.java
This has all the codes you need concerning file management for backendless in your android project.

How to record test in android appium?

I need to record the test in android appium and i should play the recorded script. is there any way to do this? I need to use it like selenium web automation. can i use appium inspector for android testing?
When you record a script with Appium, there isn't a 'playback' function. The inspector is only used to locate and record interactions with app elements. Here's a link to the native android walk-through: Native Android Automation
You need to choose a language, and export the file(see the bottom of the inspector while record mode is engaged). (Pic here)
You can run the saved file from an IDE or the command line.
Step 1: Launch the appium inspector by clicking the inspector button:
Step 2: Set the APK / IPA file path (application file path) as shown below:
Step 3 : Click on Start Session, now you will be navigated to Recorder window:
Click the application UI and perform required action “Selected Element” Tab ie, Tap, SendKeys for entering the text etc.
Selected UI Elements will get exported to Recorder tab after recording the UI Elements of all the elements we can export the Java file.

How to link to a PDF file in Qt Assistant?

I use Qt Assistant as a help viewer and I have an internal link to a PDF file that is embedded into the compiled archive format. When I click on that link, nothing happens. How can I link to a PDF file that is embedded, click on the link and have an external application opened? I use Qt Assistant 4.7.3.
Short of bundling a program like Okular into your application release and launching it as an external process there isn't a native way of arriving at your solution. More options are discussed here as well, to sum it up it's either externally or converting the PDF to a QPixmap.
I don't think that this can work. To display a pdf file you need Acrobat or a similar (external) program, and this program needs a file to read. Why don't you store the pdf files outside the help file?

desktop shortcut icon not showing in web setup project

i've created a web setup project and i wanted it to create a desktop shortcut to the web application (ex: http://localhost/xx/yy.aspx). up to this point it was pretty easy: i created a shortcut (doesnt matter where), gave it the url i wanted, added this to the User's Desktop special folder of my web setup project, and it was placed on the desktop after the installation. but then i wanted to display my custom shortcut icon. i set the icon of the shortcut i've created on my file system. then i re-included this to the setup project. however after the installation the shortcut kept showing the default IE icon again. (i tried these on windows 2003 server, on win xp the shortcut showed up iconless)
after some trials i found another way: i recreated an iconless shortcut on my file system, opened my web setup project, included this shortcut and my icon to Web Application Folder under File System on Target Machine, then clicked on User's Desktop, right clicked on the right hand side blank area, selected Create New Shortcut and chose the shortcut i've just added. Then under User's Desktop i clicked on the newly created shortcut, opened the Properties window and set its Icon property to my included icon. These steps solved it all both on 2003 server and win xp.
Though this wasnt really a question i wanted to share it anyways because it was quite annoying.
So was the problem you were not including the actual ico, exe or dll file containing the icon in the installer? shortcut files (.lnk) do not actually contain a copy of the icon, just a link to them.
