Unable to start uiautomatorviewer

Question

I have :

• Android SDK Tools, Revision 22

• Android SDK Platform, API 18

I go to <android-sdk>/tools/ , I see there is one file named "uiautomatorviewer",

I execute command uiautomatorviewer from terminal under the above path, however I got the following message:

uiautomatorviewer: command not found

why?

Answer 1

Because your tools/ directory is not in your PATH. Either use ./uiautomatorviewer or add tools/ (and probably platform-tools/ to your PATH. Note that this has nothing to do with programming and everything to do with your *nix-style OS (Linux, OS X, etc.).

Answer 2

Just follow these steps,

Open command prompt,Go to your bin folder inside tools folder of sdk location.

Example: C:\android-sdk\android-sdk\tools\bin.

Then in cmd type uiautomatorviewer and hit enter. It would immedialy open UI Automator Viewer.

C:\android-sdk\android-sdk\tools\bin>uiautomatorviewer
