sendlink · September 11, 2014, 5:26am

appium - 1.2.2
java-client - 1.7.0
android - 4.4.2
OS - Windows 7
below is the code

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

   capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.android.settings");
 capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", ".Settings");     
     
     capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "Android");
     capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "4.4.2");
       capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "Nexus 5");
        
     driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

   driver.startActivity("com.android.calculator2",".Calculator","com.android.settings",".Settings");

it shows below error

I am facing the same problem on Win7

SergeyTichomirov · September 16, 2014, 4:54pm

Yeah! It seems that it is solved in 1.2.3. Proof link

0x1mason · September 23, 2014, 8:38pm

StartActivity does not exist in 1.2.2 or earlier. It is a new 1.2.3 feature.
