While setting appium capabilities, you must be setting device name as well. You can use the same one

Thanks for your suggestion. Actually i know how to fetch device name using capabilities. My concern is when I am connecting my device with Appium. I need to check which device is connected right now. Because I want to run different test cases for different device. Can you help regarding it? – Kirti Parghi Jan 17 '19 at 18:07
where are you running these automated tests? On cloud platforms like sauce labs or on your local system? – Shrirang Jan 18 '19 at 05:00

Try session details to get connected device name or udid

 String connectedDeviceName = driver.getSessionDetail("deviceName").toString();
 String connectedDeviceUdid = driver.getSessionDetail("deviceUDID").toString();

AndroidDriver class constructor requires capabilities as a parameter, so in that capability object we have to mentioned everything regarding device. I don't want it. At the starting of running test cases I want to check which device is connected. I have 2 test case out of which one test case should be run on first device and second test case should be run on second device. – Kirti Parghi Jan 17 '19 at 21:03

What you can do is use multiple devices to run automation tests on, in that way you can give a specific device udid to a specific class containing your test cases and those test cases will run on only that device.

Moreover, you can use Annotations using TestNG e.g @Beforesuite. This will run a specific class only, so only a limited test cases will run.

You can use any of the following methods to get device udid. All the following method will give the same output.

driver.getSessionDetail("deviceName");
driver.getSessionDetail("udid");
driver.getSessionDetail("deviceUDID");
driver.getCapabilities().getCapability("deviceName");
driver.getCapabilities().getCapability("udid");
driver.getCapabilities().getCapability("deviceUDID");

You can use device udid instead of device name
