Appium Android Testcase not Running in Real Android devices

[pinak.gauswami]

Hi All,

I can run appium test case on android emulator successfully,
but can not run it on android real devices.

I get this error:

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: A new session could not be created. (Original error: Permission to start activity denied.) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 13.50 seconds

@pinak.gauswami

1. does developer mode enabled on device
2. does security disabled on device
3. we do not know what activity you trying to start

[pinak.gauswami]

Thanks for reply

Yes, developer mode enabled and security disabled on my device.

I have Mi Phone

My DesiredCapabilities :

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”, “c56fgth4”);
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, “Android”);
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, “5.0.2”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”, “Android”);
capabilities.setCapability(“appPackage”, “com.***”);
capabilities.setCapability(“appActivity”, “com.***.activities.ActivitySplashStart”);
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

My First Launch Activity is: "com.***.activities.ActivitySplashStart"
After that i have below activity “com.***.MainActivity” started.

And ActivitySplashStart start every time when app launched.
after wait 2 sec next activity started(here is MainActivity).

If i set Next activity as appActivity here is MainActivity
then still this error comes:

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: A new session could not be created. (Original error: Permission to start activity denied.) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 13.50 seconds

But if i set appActivity here is ActivitySplashStart
then element not available error comes.

Its problem occur only real devices perfectly run on emulator.

@pinak.gauswami update wait for package with “*”:

capabilities.setCapability(“appActivity”, “com.your_package_name.activities.*”);

and forget about any activity appears on start

[pinak.gauswami]

I can not share my package name
so that i write ‘**’.

[Aleksei]

@pinak.gauswami i do not ask you to share something. just replace “your_package_name” with your real package name and try given code.

[pinak.gauswami]

Thanks for reply,

But i try this already also i can run all test case in emulator but can’t in My MI Phone.

@pinak.gauswami can you share appium logs in debug mode at https://gist.github.com/ ? (remove all sensitive info from logs)

[Aleksei]

info: [debug] [BOOTSTRAP] [debug] Finding com.xyz:id/spinner_contactnumber_countries using ID with the contextId: multiple: false

PLS remove your logs from chat. they should be in gist otherwise it is hard to read. According to logs your element with "spinner_contactnumber_countries"just not found.

[pinak.gauswami]

yes but i know error comes there
but this element located another activity.

[Aleksei]

@pinak.gauswami maybe. we do not know your code.

[pinak.gauswami]

Ok, I share My code

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

allowAppPermission();

driver.findElement(By.id("com.xyz:id/spinner_contactnumber_countries")).click();

according to this “spinner_contactnumber_countries” must appear within “1” sec. may you add:

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); //10 sec wait for element

after last “allowAppPermission();” ?

[pinak.gauswami]

But sir after performing below click event of this screen element

driver.findElement(By.name(“By pressing Get Started, you agree you’re 18 years or above and you accept Terms & Services and Privacy Policy”)).click();

    driver.navigate().back();

    driver.findElement(By.id("com.xyz:id/textview_splash_iagree")).click();

then next screen contain these element:

driver.findElement(By.id(“com.xyz:id/spinner_contactnumber_countries”)).click();

Flow like My App is :spalshstart -> Splash-> AppRegistration-> VerifyOTP -> MainActiivty

[Aleksei]

@pinak.gauswami it is contain but 1 SECOND can be too little value for timeout. try to increase is e.g, to 10sec as i suggested. just give a try if it becoming better or not.

[pinak.gauswami]

I have many try but can not launch test case on my phone
i have also try some other devices but still problem occur.

Same testcase run on nexus 5 android emulator successfully.

Thanks for Response.

[Aleksei]

@pinak.gauswami you mean that “spinner_contactnumber_countries” element is visible but after 10 sec you failed click on it?

[pinak.gauswami]

No sir,

Its visible after

driver.findElement(By.name(“By pressing Get Started, you agree you’re 18 years or above and you accept Terms & Services and Privacy Policy”)).click();

driver.navigate().back();

driver.findElement(By.id(“com.xyz:id/textview_splash_iagree”)).click();

Right Now I can not click driver.findElement(By.name("By pressing G… Element
