Execute Selenium WebDriver script on android phone

Question

I have a Selenium script to automate the web site on any browser. Now, I want to execute this script on emulator or mobile device. I have tried to execute it by many ways but not get the success.

WebDriver driver = new AndroidDriver();

Throwing exception

Unable to start session Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

If any one any idea on this please help me. I also get to know that new selenium not require AndroidDriver. Please let me know.

Are you using Selendroid?

The same selenium script will work fine for android devices/emulators as well. But as we have a chromedriverserver for Chrome browser - you need to download the Selendroid jars, download the Android SDK, run the Selendroid server etc.

Follow the instructions here

EDIT :

        SelendroidLauncher selendroidServer = null;
        WebDriver driver = null;


        SelendroidConfiguration config = new SelendroidConfiguration();

        selendroidServer = new SelendroidLauncher(config);
        selendroidServer.lauchSelendroid();

        SelendroidCapabilities sc = new SelendroidCapabilities();
        sc.setBrowserName("android");
        sc.setPlatform(Platform.ANDROID);
        sc.setSerial("015d24a8394cAAAA");  //serial id of the device


        driver = new SelendroidDriver(sc);
        driver.get("http://m.ebay.de");

I am not using selendroid. In selenium web driver 2.31 version we have androiddriver() which use to execute the script on mobile but now in 2.40+ version androiddriver get omited and it stop working. There should be replacement for androiddriver.

@itin, I agree. Even then, it did not work out of the box. You had to download and setup android sdk & run the androidserver to connect to the real devices. But AndroidDriver got deprecated in later versions. Selendroid is the replacement for android now. seleniumhq.org/download

so Selendroid will be used for native app and web application in android both..? As per me it is for native app <14API...

for both. I am using selendroid for web based application in my project. It works great so far.
