I am using the APK info app to know what activities' name are:

  package name.v2.acyivities.SplashActivity

  package name.v2.acyivities.OnBoardingChooseRegion

(...)

And then I create the DesiredCapabilities:

public AndroidDriver remoteRunningDevice() throws  Exception {

    DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
    cap.setCapability("platformName", MobileConfig.platformName);

    cap.setCapability("deviceName", MobileConfig.emulatorDeviceName);

    cap.setCapability("platformVersion", MobileConfig.emulatorPlatformVersion);

    cap.setCapability("app-package", MobileConfig.appPackage);
    cap.setCapability("appActivity","MobileConfig.appPackage" +".v2.acyivities.OnBoardingChooseRegion");
    cap.setCapability("noSign", true);

    driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(MobileConfig.url), cap);
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    return driver;
}

But it can't be run and result is:

java.lang.NullPointerException

How do I solve this?

  • Do you also have the stacktrace? On what line does the NullPointerException occur?

Reset to default

public AndroidDriver driver;

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.android();
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", deviceName);
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "android");
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, osVersion);
capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "YOUR PACKAGE NAME");
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "MainActivity");
capabilities.setCapability("app", appPath);     

driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:"+port2+"/wd/hub"),capabilities);

you can use UIAutomator to find your package name. Device name and OS version can be found using 'adb devices'

in your code:

    cap.setCapability("app-package", MobileConfig.appPackage);
    cap.setCapability("appActivity","MobileConfig.appPackage" +".v2.acyivities.OnBoardingChooseRegion");

You are using MobileConfig.appPackage to get the package name, for example if the package name stored on MobileConfig.appPackage is 'com.example', the desired capability is somethings like app-package=com.example

What I am pointing here is the second line, when setting capabilities for appActivity which is you are using: "MobileConfig.appPackage" +".v2.acyivities.OnBoardingChooseRegion". The "MobileConfig.appPackage" will be considered as String, so the capability will become like: 

appActivity=MobileConfig.appPackage.v2.acyivities.OnBoardingChooseRegion

This will lead to app Activity not found, since the package name is different (may causing the Null pointer, but I am not sure). I assume that you want to make the capability is more like:

appActivity=com.example.v2.acyivities.OnBoardingChooseRegion

the capability should be like this one:

    cap.setCapability("appActivity", MobileConfig.appPackage + ".v2.acyivities.OnBoardingChooseRegion");

Write the MobileConfig.appPackage without quotes. Hope this will help to find the clue.
