Hi,

you sure that your AndroidDriver is from io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver ?

shreyansh791 · January 28, 2017, 12:31pm

Yes AndroidDriver is coming from io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver

Please find the attached screenshot.

I always used my driver as AppiumDriver. You are using as RemoteWebDriver.

I’m not sure why you are using that, but if you cast it, it will work:

((AndroidDriver)driver).findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("...");

Look here also for more info on drivers:

Hi,

As mentioned above, please make sure that you are using AndroidDriver instead of WebDriver. Even if you are using WebDriver, you can cast it to AndroidDriver

((AndroidDriver)driver).findElementByUIAutomator(“…”)

Also, please make sure that you are using the latest version of Java Client - GitHub - appium/java-client: Java language binding for writing Appium Tests, conforms to W3C WebDriver Protocol
