Hi Raghav, I was able to start the AppiumDriver using the desired capabilities, but I need to use the default capabilities passed by command line. How can I make the driver read the default capabilities instead of the desired ones?
Hi Vitor,
I have not tried but you can use the command line option as shown here - stackoverflow.com/questions/30479511/appium-setting-desired-capabilities-in-both-terminal-and-test-code

Hi Raghav, after launching calculator application in my pc, for every time after launching it is asking terms and conditons to agree or exit
Hi Praneeth, in case it is asking everytime, you can also automate the step to handle the popup. Or if you have any setting to disable it. You can also check for starting of an existing application rather than installing a new one

Hi Mohsin
Using Android Studio with Appium is a viable option for mobile app automation. Android Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) specifically designed for Android app development, and it provides a range of features and tools that can enhance your Appium automation workflow
If you are already familiar with Android Studio or prefer its features and interface, using it for Appium automation can streamline your workflow and provide a more efficient development experience

Original error: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Could not find 'aapt' in PATH. Please set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable with the Android SDK root directory path.
Hi,
aapt.exe is the Android Asset Packaging Tool and is part of the Android SDK. Can you confirm that you have aapt.exe somewhere on your machine? There are specific directories that the script is looking in to find it. You might want to try reinstalling the Android SDK.
I was reading some posts that aapt.exe may be named aapt2.exe for some SDKs. Could you check to see if that file exists on your system? You should be able to find it in:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\
If it does exist, you might be able to create a shortcut named “aapt.exe” to that file.
forum.katalon.com/t/could-not-find-aapt-exe/10922/10
A user solved it using below steps:
1 I installed Android Studio and
2 installed SDK from Android Studio.
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/darya1/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
3 Edit the configuration setting of Appium server to point to the ANDROID_HOME and JAVA_HOME.

1. Download latest Command line tools from android i.e. commandlinetools-win-6200805_latest.zip
2. Unzip the downloaded file
3. Create directory for storing commandline tools somewhere on your disk, with following path included: android/cmdline-tools/latest. Basically when You unzip this Cmd line tools, just rename tools directory to latest and make sure You put this latest folder in android/cmdline-tools directory somewhere on your disk
4. Create ANDROID_HOME environment variable for directory that stores the cmdline tools directory location like: C:\YourLocationWhereYouStoreTheDirectory\android\cmdline-tools\latest
5. Create new entry in Path environment variable as %ANDROID_HOME%\bin
Hi Raghav Pal,
You have done a fabulous job here. It is very simple and easy to understand.

Hi Raghav. When I try to import MobileElement like in 16:17, it says that the element is not found. I made sure I added appium to dependencies in pow file but it doesn't help. Can you please advice what also I can do?
Hi Dildora
If you're facing an issue where the MobileElement class is not found, despite adding Appium as a dependency in your pom.xml file, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
Verify dependency: Double-check your pom.xml file to ensure that the Appium dependency is correctly added. Make sure you have the correct group ID, artifact ID, and version specified. Here's an example of how the dependency should look:
io.appium
java-client
7.5.1
Update Maven project: In your IDE (such as Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA), try updating the Maven project. Right-click on your project, go to "Maven," and select "Update Project." This will ensure that all the dependencies specified in the pom.xml file are downloaded and resolved correctly.
Check class imports: Make sure you have the correct import statement for MobileElement in your code. The import statement should look like this:
import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement;
Ensure that the import statement is not marked as unused or removed by any code cleanup tools or IDE settings.
Clean and rebuild: If you've made any changes to the pom.xml file or imported classes, try cleaning and rebuilding your project. This will ensure that any compilation issues or conflicts are resolved.
Check Appium version compatibility: Ensure that the version of the java-client dependency in your pom.xml file is compatible with the version of Appium you are using. It's recommended to use a version that is compatible with your Appium server version.
Check Appium server setup: Ensure that you have set up the Appium server correctly. Make sure the server is running and the desired capabilities are properly configured in your test script.
If the issue persists after trying these steps, please provide more details about your project setup, including the relevant sections of your pom.xml file and any relevant code snippets. This will help in further diagnosing the problem and providing a more specific solution

Hi Rahul,
Whats the reason for Permission denial: writing to settings requires:android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS error while running on real device.
Hi Mathew, Check if this is enabled

I'm getting a InvocationTargetException saying that "The file at '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-uiautomator2-server/apks/appium-uiautomator2-server-debug-androidTest.apk' does not exist or is not accessible"
In fact there is no such file, but how can I get it? I'm using appium through the command line only
Hi Vitor, are you using appium desktop or appium downloaded as npm package. You can try the npm package. This link has some useful information - github.com/appium/appium-desktop/issues/1080
.Thank you for your hard work. When I type the "npm install -g appium" I get the Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Program Files
odejs
ode_modules
pm\bin
ode_modules
pm\bin
pm-cli.js' Some reason the "node_modules
pm\bin" is repeating. Is this the wrong path? When I try "npm -v" I also get the long path. I do have my files on the correct path, "C:\Program Files
odejs
ode_modules
pm\bin". I checked my Env Variables, and they look correct. I also have a sec0ond C:\Program Files
odejs (do I need both?)
Hi Mike,
This error message typically indicates an issue with the npm installation. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
Uninstall Node.js and NPM from your system. Make sure to remove all related files and folders.
Reinstall Node.js and NPM from the official website (nodejs.org/en/download/).
After installation, open a new command prompt and type npm -v to confirm that npm is installed correctly and the path is set up properly.
Then, try running the command npm install -g appium again to install Appium globally.
If the issue persists, try running the command with administrative privileges by running the command prompt as an administrator.
Regarding the duplicate path, having multiple installations of Node.js in different directories is not recommended as it can cause conflicts and confusion. You can try removing the duplicate directory to avoid any potential issues.

How to import the mobileElement im getting error :The type AppiumDriver is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments
Beeranna
To import the MobileElement class in Appium Java, you can use the following import statement:
```java
import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement;
```
This will import the MobileElement class from the Appium Java client library.
If you are getting the error `The type AppiumDriver is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments `, it means that you are trying to use the AppiumDriver class with the MobileElement type parameter. However, the AppiumDriver class is not generic, so it cannot be parameterized with any type argument.
To fix this error, you can remove the type parameter from the AppiumDriver class. For example:
```java
AppiumDriver driver = new AppiumDriver();
```
This will create a new AppiumDriver instance that is not parameterized with any type argument. You can then use the AppiumDriver instance to interact with mobile elements using the MobileElement class.
Here is an example of how to use the MobileElement class to interact with a mobile element:
```java
MobileElement element = driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("My Element");
element.click();
```
This code will find the mobile element with the accessibility ID "My Element" and click on it.
I hope this helps

Hi Raghav
While going through your code when using mobile element for appium driver I am getting this error " Bound Mismatch : the type mobile element is not a valid substitute for the bounded parameter of the type AppiumDriver "
Could you please help me to resolve this issue
Diksha
The error message "Bound Mismatch: the type MobileElement is not a valid substitute for the bounded parameter of the type AppiumDriver" means that you are trying to use the `MobileElement` class as a parameter for the `AppiumDriver` class. The `AppiumDriver` class takes a generic type parameter, which must be a subclass of the `WebElement` class. The `MobileElement` class is not a subclass of the `WebElement` class, so it is not a valid substitute for the generic type parameter.
To fix this error, you can either:
* Change the generic type parameter of the `AppiumDriver` class to `MobileElement`.
* Change the type of the `MobileElement` object to `WebElement`.
Here is an example of how to change the generic type parameter of the `AppiumDriver` class:
```
import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement;
public class AppiumTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create an AppiumDriver object with the generic type parameter set to MobileElement.
AppiumDriver driver = new AppiumDriver();
// Find the element by its ID.
MobileElement element = driver.findElementById("my_element_id");
// Do something with the element.
element.click();
}
}
```
Here is an example of how to change the type of the `MobileElement` object to `WebElement`:
```
import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
public class AppiumTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create an AppiumDriver object.
AppiumDriver driver = new AppiumDriver();
// Find the element by its ID.
WebElement element = driver.findElementById("my_element_id");
// Do something with the element.
element.click();
}
}
```
I hope this helps
