I am trying to remotely test native Android app using Jenkins and can successfully run other steps using RemoteWebDriver but unable to send AndroidDriver specific commands like
The methods that you are trying to use aren’t available for RemoteWebDriver, but in the AndroidDriver one.
Therefore you should cast the calls that you are doing.
Thanks for the responses, i tried changing my script to the below
public class TTS_Test_Test1 {
private RemoteWebDriver driver; @BeforeTest
public void beforeTest() throws IOException {
FileWriter fileOut = new FileWriter(“C:\Users\parper01\Documents\Appium\logs.txt”);
File appDir = new File(“C:\apk”);
File app = new File(appDir,“TTS(7).apk”);
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, “”); //Name of mobile web browser to automate. Should be an empty string if automating an app instead.
capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”, “Android”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platformVersion”, “5.0.1”); //capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”, “41008e5ce42f81fd”);
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”, “41006289e4b2a179”);
capabilities.setCapability(“app”, app.getAbsolutePath());
capabilities.setCapability(“appPackage”, “com.trustonic.tbase.tests.runner”);
capabilities.setCapability(“appActivity”, “com.trustonic.tbase.tests.runner.SplashscreenActivity”);
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”),capabilities);
//driver = (AndroidDriver) new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”),capabilities);
} @Test
public void QuiclTests() throws InterruptedException, MalformedURLException {
Thread.sleep(10000);
WebElement ViewMorebutton = driver.findElementByName(“View More”);
ViewMorebutton.click();
List buttons = driver.findElements(By.className(“android.widget.ImageButton”));
buttons.get(0).click();
Thread.sleep(1000);
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
RemoteWebDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”),capabilities);
((AndroidDriver) driver).findElementByAndroidUIAutomator(“text(“Quick tests”)”).click(); //driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.TextView[@text=‘Quick tests’]")).click();
WebElement RunTests = driver.findElementByName(“Run All”);
RunTests.click();
Thread.sleep(2000);
Assert.assertEquals((driver.findElementById(“textview_status”)).getText(),“Test Results”);
((AndroidDriver) driver).pullFolder("/storage/sdcard0/trustonic_tests");
}
}
But get the below error on Eclipse
FAILED: QuiclTests org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: A new session could not be created. (Original error: Requested a new session but one was in progress) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 15 milliseconds
Same error can be seen if i remove below lines from @Test and put them in @BeforeTest
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
RemoteWebDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”),capabilities);
org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: A new session could not be created. (Original error: Requested a new session but one was in progress) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 15 milliseconds
This error usually comes when already existing appium server session is running to execute commands and it encounter statement like
Same thing happens with u created new duplicate session again in u r @Test method
Solution
1 . Remove these lines from @Test Method.
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
RemoteWebDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”),capabilities);
Add this line in @BeforeTest
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”),capabilities);
AndroidDriver _driver=(AndroidDriver)driver;
in place of
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”),capabilities);
It should work. Now you have both Handles u can use any…
Hi Amit, now i see below errors when i make the above suggested changes

This might be a bug at javaclient end or they may take it as a suggestion to improve for allowing the casting.
It’s better to raise it at java client repo. @pardha What java client version u r using ?
When you say remote does it mean u r device is connected to some remote machine where you want to execute u r script ?
java version "1.8.0_51" Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16) Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)
My intention is to trigger the tests periodically without manual interaction and integrating with Jenkins is the option i am going ahead with.So guess i have to use RemoteWebDriver and AndroidDriver at the same time for sending Android specific commands.
