Question

When I am trying to instantiate AndroidDriver class it is giving an error. Please help.

Code

import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;

public class Testing {
    @Test
    public void testMethod() {
        AndroidDriver driver;
        DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
        cap.setCapability("deviceName", "samsung-sm_g530h-5554c610");
        cap.setCapability("platformVersion", "4.4.4");
        cap.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
        cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");
        cap.setCapability("appPackage", "com.whatsapp");
        cap.setCapability("appActivity", "com.whatsapp.HomeActivity");
        driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("127.0.0.1:4723"), cap);
    }
}

// Here is the error

Solution 1

Try replacing:

driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("127.0.0.1:4723"), cap);

With:

driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), cap);

Solution 2

It is giving an error: AndroidDriver is Raw type. You can initialize driver as below:

import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
...
public class Testing()
{
  public  AppiumDriver driver;
  ...
  @BeforeTest
  public void testMethod()
   {
     driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(Node), capabilities);
     ...
   }
}
