Hi,

I am getting error as "A new session could not be created. (Original error: Activity used to start app doesn't exist or cannot be launched! Make sure it exists and is a launchable activity)"

Can anyone let me know what might go wrong here

IWebDriver driver;

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.BrowserName, "Android");
        capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Version, "4.3");
        capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Platform, "Windows");
       // capabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "Android Emulator");
        //capabilities.SetCapability("appium-version", "1.1");
        capabilities.SetCapability("app", "D:\\android\\android\\sdk\\platform-tools\\AngularjsToDo-debug1.apk");//
        capabilities.SetCapability("app-package", "com.microsoft.madha.samples");
        //// This is package name of your app (you can get it from apk info app)
        capabilities.SetCapability("app-wait-activity", ".angularjstodo");
        capabilities.SetCapability("app-activity", ".AngularjsToDo"); 

        driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

Most capabilities were renamed in Appium 1.0 (e.g. appActivity instead of app-activity). See:
https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/caps.md

I modified capabilities accordingly but still am facing the issue.
Can you please let me know what would be the value for activity, package and wait activity

Below information is displayed when I use apk info for my app

Don't know about the apk info tool above, but you can always get that info using the aapt tool from Android SDK with the following command:
adt/sdk/build-tools/android-4.4/aapt dump badging app.apk

Note: You shouldn't need to specify appPackage, appActivity, etc. since Appium should be able to extract those from the apk using the method above anyway.

I got the same issue while I am learning Android application testing (.apk). if your apk works on the emulator by manually getting on to avd then no issues with .apk and the problem might something else. My guess would be your .apk is corrupted and unreadable. Please get another working .apk and give a try, before you do so, make sure to copy activity and package as exactly you see after executing command "aapt" from command line. Note: Give complete path for the activity, see below ex:

public class AppiumExampleTest {

private AppiumDriver driver = null;

@Before
public void setup() {


    File appDir = new File("D:\\Android_apk");
    File app = new File(appDir, "somexyz.apk");

    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
    capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");
    capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "4.4");
    capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PLATFORM, "Andriod");
    capabilities.setCapability("Device" , "emulator-5554");
    capabilities.setCapability ("newCommandTimeout", "180"); 
    capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.xyz.client.android.somexyz");
    capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.xyz.client.android.refapp.modules.registration.RegistrationActivity");

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

    try {
        driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(80, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

}

Still am hitting the same issue...

This is the code am trying to run

IWebDriver driver;

        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.BrowserName, "");
        capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Version, "4.4");
        capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.Platform, "Windows");
        capabilities.SetCapability("Device", "emulator-5554");
        capabilities.SetCapability("newCommandTimeout", "180"); 
       // capabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "Android Emulator");
        //capabilities.SetCapability("appium-version", "1.1");
        capabilities.SetCapability("app", "D:\\android\\android\\sdk\\platform-tools\\AngularjsToDo-debug1.apk");//
        capabilities.SetCapability("apppackage", "com.microsoft.mdha.samples.angularjstodo");
        //// This is package name of your app (you can get it from apk info app)
       // capabilities.SetCapability("appwaitactivity", ".angularjstodo");
        capabilities.SetCapability("appactivity", ".AngularjsToDo");             
        driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

Using aapt command I got below information about the apk.

Below code installs the app but failed to open it in emulator.
Once it installed I see that app is working absolutely fine in emulator, when I manually play with it.
Code:

    String apkpath = "D:\\apkdump\\blackcarbon.wordpad.apk";
    File app = new File (apkpath);
    DesiredCapabilities capabilities= new DesiredCapabilities();
    capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME,"");
    capabilities.setCapability("deviceName","Wordpad1");
    capabilities.setCapability("appium-version", "1.2.4.1");
    capabilities.setCapability("platformName","Android");
    capabilities.setCapability("app",app.getAbsolutePath());
    capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.wordpad");
    capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.wordpad.Main");
    dr = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://******:4723/wd/hub"),capabilities);


    dr.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    dr.quit();


}

}
