This is the extends jo file. Which is your base file

Hi @jerome1227

Please change below code

# Before::

AndroidDriver driver=new AndroidDriver\<\>(new URL(“[http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub](http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub)”),cap)

# After

AppiumDriver driver= (AppiumDriver) new AndroidDriver(new URL(“[http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub](http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub)”),cap;
