walidsabir · 2022-01-18T08:37:47Z

Description

Hi there,
When I try to run UIAUTOMATORVIEWER I get the following error:

**

SWT folder '/Users/XXXX/Library/Android/sdk/tools/lib/aarch64' does not exist.

Please export ANDROID_SWT to point to the folder containing swt.jar for your platform.

**

Here's my bash profile

**

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH

export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/$(whoami)/Library/Android/sdk

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/bin:

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platforms-tools

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator

export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/lib

**

Here's my Java version:

**

java version "17.0.1" 2021-10-19 LTS

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39, mixed mode, sharing)

**

Here's my Mac info: Mac OS Big Spur, M1 ship

Thank you

This repository is for issues with the android.test libraries not studio tools. I'd suggest to file this bug into https://source.android.com/setup/contribute/report-bugs 'Android Studio"

Same problem on mac book pro with apple silicon M1 Pro

I'm facing the same issue. I use mac book pro with apple silicon M1 Pro

vipost28 · 2022-07-10T17:48:28Z

I managed to solve this by adding JAVA_HOME path in my .zshrc file (I'm using MBP m1):
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_161.jdk/Contents/Home

Before I had this path and it didn't work:
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

But it's very important to download JDK SE from Oracle web site (it's called something like "jdk-8u333-macosx-x64"). Before I had Java 18 installed and it seems like it didn't work.

So now all related paths in the . zshrc file are:
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_333.jdk/Contents/Home
export DEVICE='android'
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/emulator:$PATH

export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:$PATH
export PATH=${PATH}:/$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:/$ANDROID_HOME/tools:/$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin

I guess that the last are not needed, but I'm not really experienced, so I leave these in the paths as well.
So now

This reference helped me to fix this issue on My MacBook pro m1, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raG9TJWKxR4

confirming this worked for me as of now.

Initially it wasn't working because I had java_home set to Android Studio in my ~/.zshrc

export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home"

I made sure to point to another jvm I had already installed..

export JAVA_HOME="/Users/me/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/corretto-1.8.0_322/Contents/Home"

Possibly in anyone's case point to the java_home set by default.

I am just glad there is a way to get this fixed because I really miss this automator for several years already.

TarCV · 2023-03-09T08:17:04Z

I've made a fork of uiautomatorviewer because of similar issues - https://github.com/TarCV/uiautomatorviewer-gradle Works good for me so far. Hope it would be useful for others too.

TWiStErRob · 2023-03-09T09:59:22Z

Re: the closing #1243 (comment)

There are numerous similar issues open on the Google IssueTracker, followers might want to vote these if they're affected.

Also I think uiautomatorviewer might've been been discontinued as a tool, because it didn't exist in the latest SDK: https://stackoverflow.com/a/75631434/253468.

in509 · 2023-09-30T02:45:28Z

For me another prerequisite is it's also depends on the JDK version, for me the 1.8.0.331 working well, however 1.8.0.381 doesn't

Use Jdk 1.8 and replace SWT.jar on "tools/lib/x86_64". https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.19-202103031800/download.php?dropFile=swt-4.19-cocoa-macosx-x86_64.zip
