To use Selenium in an Android Studio project, you can follow these steps

1. Create a New Android Studio Project

Open Android Studio and create a new Android project or open an existing project where you want to use Selenium.

2. Add Dependencies

Open your app's build.gradle file.

Add the Selenium dependency to the dependencies section. You can find the latest version on the Maven Repository.

dependencies {
    // Other dependencies...

    implementation 'org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-java:3.141.59'  // Use the latest version
}

Click "Sync Now" in the bar that appears at the top of Android Studio to sync the project and download the Selenium library.

3. Use Selenium in Your Code

You can now use Selenium in your Java code. For example, you can create a WebDriver instance and interact with a web page.

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class MainActivity {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/path/to/chromedriver");

        // Create a ChromeDriver instance
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        // Example: Open Google and print the title
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        System.out.println("Title: " + driver.getTitle());

        // Close the browser window
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Make sure to replace "/path/to/chromedriver" with the actual path to the ChromeDriver executable. You can download ChromeDriver from the official site.

4. Configure WebDriver

Depending on the WebDriver you are using (e.g., ChromeDriver, GeckoDriver for Firefox), you may need to configure the path to the WebDriver executable. Set the system property before creating the WebDriver instance.

5. Handling WebDriver in Android

Note that running Selenium directly on Android devices is not straightforward due to differences in the architecture and limitations. If you need to automate interactions with Android apps, you might want to look into tools like Appium, which is designed specifically for mobile app automation.

Remember that Selenium is primarily designed for web automation, and using it for Android app automation may not be the best choice. For native Android app automation, consider tools like Appium or Espresso. If you are working with web views within Android apps, you can still use Selenium for those parts.

To clear the local storage in Selenium Python, you can use the execute_script method to run JavaScript code that clears the storage. Here's an example of how to do this:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# Set up the Chrome WebDriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# Navigate to the website
driver.get("https://example.com")

# Wait for the page to load
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "body")))

# Clear the local storage
driver.execute_script("""
    if (typeof window.localStorage !== 'undefined') {
        window.localStorage.clear();
    }
""")

# Perform any additional actions after clearing the local storage
# ...

# Close the browser
driver.quit()

In this example, the execute_script method is used to run a JavaScript snippet that checks if the window.localStorage object exists and then clears it. This code should work for most websites, but keep in mind that some websites might have additional security measures in place that prevent the local storage from being cleared programmatically.

Remember to replace https://example.com with the URL of the website you are working with.

To run Selenium WebDriver on a Virtual Private Server (VPS), you need to follow these steps:

Choose a VPS provider and set up your VPS instance. Some popular VPS providers include DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr.

Connect to your VPS instance using SSH (Secure Shell) and update the package list:

sudo apt-get update

Install the required dependencies:

sudo apt-get install -y chromedriver

Download the appropriate version of the ChromeDriver for your browser version. You can download it from the ChromeDriver download page.

Move the downloaded ChromeDriver binary to a directory in your PATH, for example, /usr/local/bin/:

sudo mv chromedriver /usr/local/bin/

Give the ChromeDriver binary executable permissions:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

Install the required Python packages:

pip install selenium

Create a Python script to run Selenium WebDriver on your VPS instance:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://example.com')

search_box = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'search-box')))
search_box.send_keys('your search query')
search_box.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

driver.quit()

Run the Python script on your VPS instance using SSH:

python your_script.py

There are many free VPN services. But it is not safe to use them. After all, they are just engaged in parsing. That is, they collect information about users. Most often - their IP-addresses, as well as text data (these are search queries and their personal information).

There are special online services that use IP and HTTP connection tags to determine if a proxy is being used from your equipment. The most popular are Proxy Checker, Socproxy.
