Appioum: Unable to create AndroidDriver with (URL,Capabilties)

Question

I'm trying to create an Appium framework and I stuck with creating of android driver. The server (Appium REST http interface listener started on 0.0.0.0:4723) has started, but on the client side, the driver creation keeps failing. below are the details.

Error: Message: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/remote/ProtocolHandshake

setup:
Java_client: 6.0.0
Appium server: same result with both 1.7.2 and 1.8.1
Cucumber+Junit+Maven

Code:

DesiredCapabilities dc; 
dc.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "UIAUTOMATOR2");

URL url=new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub");
AppiumDriver driver=new AndroidDriver(url,dc);

Failure in before hook: AppiumController.setup()

Message: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/remote/ProtocolHandshake
at io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver.<init>(AppiumDriver.java:93)
at io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver.<init>(AndroidDriver.java:88)
at config.DriverCreator.setAndroidDriver(DriverCreator.java:19)

I tried to localhost and 0.0.0.0, I'll try 127.0.0.1 as well. — picstand, May 31 '18 at 12:44
Change your references of `AppiumDriver` to `AndroidDriver` i.e. `AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(url, dc);` — Bill Hileman, May 31 '18 at 13:57
You should also probably be defining an app OR a package AND an activity in your capabilities. — Bill Hileman, May 31 '18 at 13:59
@BillHileman I tried that as well and with 127.0.0.1 and still get the same error. — picstand, May 31 '18 at 23:44
I start the server with with "-app ~/Downloads/app.apk" and this should not be a problem if I don't pass the package name as well — picstand, May 31 '18 at 23:47

This issue was version incompatibility. Rolled the version down to 5.0.4 and server to 1.7.2; this got rid of the error.

Hi you don't have to roll back to appium java client version to 5.0.4. You can use following versions, and you will not get that error : Appium java client version 6.0.0-BETA5, Appium server version 1.8.0 and selenium version 3.9.1. – Suraj Jogdand Jun 01 '18 at 12:16
