引言

因为我有一个api为26的设备，因为 Layout Inspector 无法在 API 26 以下设备上使用，并且现在AS的 Hierarchy Viewer 和Android Device Monitor 均已经在SDK中剔除，故想再搜一个pc版的布局查看器，发现Appium Inspector学习成本较高，过程比较艰难，没有好的中文教程，gtp回复也不尽人意，故做下记录。

安装加启动

安装appium 并且下载驱动Android 和 UiAutomator2 这样环境就算准备好了

C:\Users\mmq>npm install -g appium
npm warn deprecated inflight@1.0.6: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
npm warn deprecated lodash.get@4.4.2: This package is deprecated. Use the optional chaining (?.) operator instead.
npm warn deprecated rimraf@2.4.5: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported
npm warn deprecated glob@6.0.4: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported
