Thanks.

It seems to have a problem with “platform version”. I think Appium 1.6x supports Android 4.2.2, but you may want to create an emulator with a newer version of Android, maybe 5 or 6 and see if that helps.

Thanks!

It’s working, however it cant locate the app package for the calculator.

Here is the screenshot for the Apk info of the calculator and the desired capabilities in appium: https://www.screencast.com/t/8Lww0nvV

From your screenshot, it looks like the apk file is on your phone. I think Appium looks for it on your local machine. Can you copy the apk to your PC and redefine its location?

Hi you can watch these video for appium : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXbcghgSZDroz9nez1IrbL2hnMVJ0ba1W

Thanks Guys!

But still I’m encountering issue. "[ADB] Error: activity and pkg is required for launching application
at Object.wrappedLogger.errorAndThrow "

I hope someone can help me.

Put your apk on machine and use this capability

capabilities.setCapability(“app”, “/Users/tvs00023/Desktop/AppName.apk”);

No need to use activity and package. Appium will directly install and open your apk file.

The other 2 apk docs work properly but this one was new installed to my IJ and Appium could not find my apk doc. I pulled out usb cabel from my mobile and now it works perfect. Thank you a lot Doug
