Install and change the JAVA_HOME from jdk1.8.0_202.jdk to the newer version in your path. Java 14 works fine.

Thanks for answer but I tried and it did not work (I tried for jdk 11 and 14). That error has appeared since appium 1.17.1 and it is for Android 7 (for android 8 it is work). For appium 1.15.1 it is work on Android 7. I do not know whats wrong.
