Hi @Muthu_Pearl ,

When you say you executed a script in the emulator, do you mean you did this through Appium? If so, you just point your appium driver at the device rather than the emulator.

@willosser Answering your question, Ya am run through this Appium and i executed this in Emulator.

    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "Browser");
        capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "HT42FWE01991");  ---->HTC Mobile
        capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "4.2.2");
        capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
        capabilities.setCapability("app", app.getAbsolutePath());
        capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "in.amazon.mShop.android.shopping");
        capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.amazon.mShop.home.HomeActivity");
             
        driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

This is my code for your reference kindly tell me where to edit/update.

And i got the Error message as like below:

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: A new session could not be created. (Original error: Android devices must be of API level 17 or higher. Please change your device to Selendroid or upgrade Android on your device.) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

Hi Muthu,

The API level of your device is less then 17 So appium will not work as UIAutomator does not support it so some quick solutions are

1 >>> Update Android version on phone to 4.4 /Android KitKAT and then appium will work with u r current capabilities
2 >>> run appium in selendroid mode using additional capability
capabilities.setCapability(“automationName”, “Selendroid”);
But with option 2 inspection will be done through selendroid and not using uiautomatorviewer
for selendroid inspector after running appium server you can use url http://localhost:8080/inspector
as appium run selendroid for API level<17

If it is not requirement of u r prj to check app on device of version less then 17 then its good to take device with kitkat version …
