which files are mandatory to sun appium on an android 3rd party device?

I use appium for the first time.

I want to run a simple automation on a 3rd party installed app.

I want to configure the appium server for that specific app.

I have few questions:

1. which fields are mandatory?


2. I have to fill them manually? because my Android is plugged in to the mac, and yet I cannot autocomplete names.


3. how can i easily find the desired app apk path and it's launch activity (I guess after double clicking the apk?)

update:

i now get the following error:

doesn't work.

new console opened:

➜  ~  echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_71.jdk/Contents/Home
