[emirozer]

What is the device model and android version?

Did you tried accessing the device through ADB yourself ?

[hungho]

I am trying on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and android version is 4.4.2.

Devices are found on cmd when i type command below.

I am facing the same issue on Windows 7 (x64) and I am using Appium 0.16, with jdk1.7.0_67, and ADB 1.0.31

Following is an Output of Appium Doctor:

C:\Appium\node_modules.bin>appium-doctor -android
Running Android Checks
? ANDROID_HOME is set to "C:\AndroidSDK"
? JAVA_HOME is set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_67."
? ADB exists at C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\adb.exe
? Android exists at C:\AndroidSDK\tools\android.bat
? Emulator exists at C:\AndroidSDK\tools\emulator.exe
? Android Checks were successful.

? All Checks were successful

• So there is no space in any of the path above

Scenario:

When I open appium.exe, with Right click >> Run as Admin it is not populating AVD devices (I have already created them using AVD)

But if I go to command prompt and open Appium.exe it populates the AVD

But now when I launch the appium by clicking on launch (with pre-launch option + all other capabilities) appium throws following error

Note: Same behavior with latest Appium version (AppiumForWindows-1.2.0.1)

I have search on all places in google and appium forum but haven't got the solution yet, I will appreciate if anyone can resolve or hint to resolve this issue.

[Piyush_Dungrani]

> Got the solution by adding a system in PATH variables. - see more details on http://www.mytechtricks.com/2014/10/resolved-appium-could-not-find-devices-restarting-adb-server-and-enoent-issue.html

[a373648449]

I also met the same problem, my solution is:
Check the system environment variables

If under the path System32 configuration, because the ADB is the default startup in the System32

PAHT:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

Still on Appium 1.4.8 also getting the same issue when i ran multiple times the script(test cases) in MAC for ANDROID App.

and also facing one more issue as below pls help me out

can you help me out guys

info: Found device adb server is out of date. killing...

Run android sdk to check that all your installed Android tools are up-to-date. If they are not up-to-date, update the out-of-date packages.

Run adb version to check the adb version once you're done. For me, I see the following for adb version:

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32
Revision 09a0d98bebce-android

[afwang]

Do you have any type of phone syncing software on your computer? Sometimes, these applications ship with their own version of the adb server, which can cause incompatibility issues. e.g. HTC Sync, or Genymotion

What type of device are you using for automating?

[rkn411]

same issue
getting error with appium 1.4.16 in windows machine

[DoubleX]

If you're using Genymotion, go to Settings --> ADB tab.
There, manually select the Directory of Android SDK, rather than the "Genymotion ADB".
