String packageName = " com.test.android.automationchanges";
String startActivity = “com.test.android.SplashActivity”;
String waitActivity = “com.test.android.activity.MSignupActivity”;
capabilities.setCapability(“androidPackage”, packageName);
capabilities.setCapability(“androidActivity”, startActivity);
capabilities.setCapability(“androidWaitActivity”, waitActivity);

015-08-20 07:55:16:490 - error: Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: com.test.android.automationchanges/com.test.android.activity.MSignupActivity never started. Current: com.test.android.automationchanges/com.test.android.activity.MSignupActivity

String packageName = “com.test.android.automationchanges”;
String startActivity = “com.test.android.SplashActivity”;
String waitActivity = “com.test.android.activity.MSignupActivity”;
capabilities.setCapability(“appPackage”, packageName);
capabilities.setCapability(“appActivity”, startActivity);
capabilities.setCapability(“appWaitActivity”, waitActivity);

// instead of android it’s app

    capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "Appium"); 
    capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
    //capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "5.0");
    capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "emulator");/
    capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", packageName);
    capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", startActivity);
    capabilities.setCapability("appWaitActivity", waitActivity);

seems okay ?? since its still not working.
The app activity is launched but the same is not acknowledged by appium. It returns the same error.

I guess appium started this activity “com.test.android.SplashActivity” successfully but was unable to found this activity “com.test.android.activity.MSignupActivity” after SplashActivity gets launched in a default wait time.

You can try like

  1. Make sure activity name “com.test.android.activity.MSignupActivity” is correct no typo or error in name
  2. Make sure that .MSignupActivity launches immediately after .SplashActivity
  3. Also if you want to wait for home page load you can use implicit wait for any element on page or any class used on page.
