Error occurred while launching Selendroid Server

Question

I downloaded the jar and tried to launch the selendroid server with the command:

java -jar selendroid-standalone-0.8.0-with-dependencies.jar -app selendroid-test-app-0.8.0.apk

But it seems to be giving me this error:

SEVERE: Error occurred while building server: An error occurred while resigning the app 'selendroid-test-app-0.8.0.apk'

Can anyone help me with this?

Just check the log before this error. I too faced the exact same error and found through the logs that my JAVA_HOME was redirecting to the JRE folder and not Java SDK.

Change your JAVA_HOME variable for JAVA SDK path. For me this resolved the issue.

I did some research and found a list of things required to make selendroid work on Windows:

Java JDK (minimum 1.6) must be installed and JAVA_HOME configured to point to that JDK
(tools like the jarsigner should be present in the JDK.)

The Android SDK maynot have all the required tools and you must download specific tools through the android SDK manager:

Open the Android SDK Manager window
Select the Tools checkbox.
Select the checkbox for the latest Android SDK.
From the Extras folder, select the checkbox for the Android Support Library.
Click the Install packages… button to complete the download and installation.

ANDROID_HOME variable should point to the SDK:

set ANDROID_HOME=C:\${installation location}\SDK
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANDROID_HOME%\tools;%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools

(This is only for Windows. For other OS you can check this link: http://spring.io/guides/gs/android/)

what do you mean by "4. From the 'extras folder'" ?? – Coding John Jan 31 '20 at 10:24 — Coding John, Jan 31 '20 at 10:24

Setting the JAVA_HOME= C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25 in windows 64 bit OS and restarting the cmd window helped me resolve the issue. Also ANDROID_HOME path must be set correctly as said by @LoneChaos
