[@jamescathode6917]

@@chipotle39 I couldn't fix that. I simply switched to Desktop client. The UiAutomator is just an alternate. I didn't have to use it.

Hello, When i opened the cmd for uiautomator , and tried executing the uiautomator.bat file command i got this message:- C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin>uiautomatorviewer.bat ERROR: No suitable Java found. In order to properly use the Android Developer Tools, you need a suitable version of Java JDK installed on your system. We recommend that you install the JDK version of JavaSE, available here: www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads If you already have Java installed, you can define the JAVA_HOME environment variable in Control Panel / System / Avanced System Settings to point to the JDK folder. You can find the complete Android SDK requirements here: developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So later i downloaded the SE java latest Jdk 12.0.1 version. And when i put the same command i got this message on cmd:- C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin>uiautomatorviewer.bat -Djava.ext.dirs=..\lib\x86_64;..\lib is not supported. Use -classpath instead. Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. And yes i had changed the path of old java file from JAVA_HOME to the new one(i.e 12.0.1) Can you please help me out with this?
