Error in using UIAutomatorviewer for testing Android app in Appium

Question

I have to automate an Android application, I am doing the same through Appium.

The problem I am facing is after launching the Appium server, the app is getting instal

Answer 1

I fixed the same issue by using following methods.

(1) Connect your Android device to your development machines;

(2) Go to command line in terminal or DOS command line for Windows;

(3) Using "adb shell" into your Android devices;

(4) Change the user to root by input "su root" in command line;

(5) Change the access right to /data/local/tmp by input "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp";

(6) Go back to uiautomatorviewer and do screen shot again, the error should be gone;

I guess there are some file can't be access if it doesn't own right in /data/local/tmp.
