It seems appium is not able to find your device. Are you using an emulator or physical device? Try restarting ADB

I am getting following msg

C:\Users\gulshan.saini>adb devices

List of devices attached

emulator-5554   device

[SCBhupen]

Try to use below steps, this might helps you …

1: Open terminal and start your emulator 

emulator -avd <emulatorName>

2: Open another terminal kill the dab server

adb kill-server

3: Start the adb server

adb start-server

4: check your device connected or not

adb devices

Thanks

also below is snapshot of appium app.

and sample program 

File app = new File("F:/android-apidemos-master/bin/ApiDemos.apk");

System.out.println("Initializing...");

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

System.out.println("Setting Capabilities...");

capabilities.setCapability("device", "Android");

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "Android");

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "4.2.2");

//This is path of your application

capabilities.setCapability("app", app.getAbsolutePath());

// This is package name of your app

[SCBhupen]

Did you set $ANDROID_HOME and dab in your $PATH?

Thanks

I don't know windows, but is the fact that these are on different partitions (C:\ vs F:\) important?

It looks like Appium isn't reading the output of adb, or the output when run under appium is not the same as when you run it yourself.

[Gulshan Saini]

Not sure what exacly the problem was.

I tried on different machine having same configuration and settings and it worked...

Thanks for all help guys.....This is still mystery :)

[Santiago Hernández]

I am having the same issue... 

Exactly the same, and it is working on other pc, the only difference is that where it is not working I have windows in spanish.
