UIAutomatorviewer throws error

ajay1 · April 18, 2019, 2:58pm

Dear,

Still i am facing this issue after doing below steps:

adb shell uiautomator dump
adb pull /sdcard/window_dump.xml ui.uix
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/ui.png
adb pull /sdcard/ui.png .

Run the script. It will generate ‘ui.uix’ and ‘ui.png’ files in current directory.
Load the ‘ui.uix’ and ‘ui.png’ files into ui automator viewer by clicking ‘Open’ button.

Could you please get me help out ?

Thanks,
Ajay

@Saurav24 : download platform_tools older version 26 and replace adb.exe file from that folder with your current adb.exe in platform_tools folder.

I hope this solution will help.

If you see this Error :
Error while obtaining UI hierarchy XML file: com.android.ddmlib.SyncException: Remote object doesn’t exist!

Close the appium or stop the appium
Open your emulator and open the app which you want to automate
Then open the uiautomatorviewer from the tools folder
Try click the device screenshot option uiautomatorviewer

It worked for me!

Thanks
Siva
