Robot Framework : Is there any way using which we can execute test cases (same test cases/test suit) on multiple andriod devices at once?

enter image description hereOnce the app is launched on multiple android devices. How can we execute same test cases on multiple mobile devices at once? As I am having a bunch of test cases to execute on multiple android devices. I am trying to use For Loop by passing udid OR Appium Server name in Test cases,but it's not working.It executes test case on a single device only.Is there any way using which we can execute test cases (same test cases/test suit) on multiple Android devices at once?

You can use something like following as solution to your problem. As I had said earlier in my answer, you can save the drivers in a dictionary &{drivers} and use it in your loop to do repetitive actions on all your devices. 

*** Settings ***
Library           AppiumLibrary
Library          Collections
Library          Process

*** Variables ***
${APPIUM_SERVER1}    http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub
${APPIUM_SERVER2}    http://127.0.0.1:4750/wd/hub
${udid_device1}    udid of device 1
${udid_device2}    udid of device 2

*** Keywords ***
setup and open android phone A
    &{drivers}=    Create Dictionary
    ${androiddriver1}=    Open Application    ${APPIUM_SERVER1}    platformName=android    platformVersion=7.0    deviceName=android   udid=${udid_device1}    automationName=uiautomator2
    ...    appPackage=com.android.contacts    newCommandTimeout=2500    appActivity=com.android.contacts.activities.PeopleActivity
    Set To Dictionary    ${drivers}    ${udid_device1}=${androiddriver1}
    Set suite variable    ${drivers}


setup and open android phone B
    ${androiddriver2}=    Open Application    ${APPIUM_SERVER2}    platformName=android    platformVersion=7.0    deviceName=android    udid=${udid_device2}    automationName=uiautomator2
    ...    appPackage=com.htc.contacts   newCommandTimeout=2500    noReset=True    appActivity=com.htc.contacts.BrowseLayerCarouselActivity
    Set To Dictionary    ${drivers}    ${udid_device2}=${androiddriver2}
    Set suite variable    ${drivers}
    Log Dictionary    ${drivers}

Open URL
    :FOR    ${key}    IN    @{drivers.keys()}
    \    ${value}=    Get From Dictionary    ${drivers}    ${key}
    \    Log    ${key}, ${value}
    \    repetitive actions here

What you basically want to do is Parallel execution of your tests. There are many tools available to achieve this with ease and much coverage (vast number of devices and flavors) like SeeTest Cloud, Xamarin Test Cloud, AWS Device Farm, Perfecto etc

However if you want to achieve using Appium and TestNG it is still possible. Below are high level steps:

  1. Launch multiple instances of Appium server, by using different address, port, callbackPort, and BootstrapPort as part of node command.
  2. Get the UUID of the devices and pass it in TestNG xml
  3. Run the xml as suite.

Below is the link with exact commands and steps: http://toolsqa.com/mobile-automation/appium/appium-parallel-execution-using-testng/

you can save sessions from open application in a dictionary and use them in a loop to do some actions on every phone. Please edit your question with code for further help.
