I am very new to Robotium tool. I am facing issue for the execution of first test in Robotium. Please help

Step1: I created Android virtual device in using eclipse and ADT. Details: Android 5.1.1 - API level 22 CPU - ARM Virtual device created and launched successfully.

Step2: Then Installed application apk using command line details: adb install path-of-apk\XXX.apk

Step3 Created Android Test project. Imported Robotium SOLO jar as external library. Android.jar is under Android 5.1.1 Robotium jar is under Referenced libraries

Step4 Changed Target package to correct one captured from Hierarchical view

Step5 Created test class and tried to execute it using Android JUNIT

Error i am getting is [2015-12-12 01:22:50 - Robotium_Calc] Android Launch! [2015-12-12 01:22:50 - Robotium_Calc] adb is running normally. [2015-12-12 01:22:50 - Robotium_Calc] Could not find XXX.apk!

Update: I am using Windows OS and Java 1.7

Sorry, may it sound stupid, but are you sure that on device (which you want to use to test) while you try to run is your app with not changed before package name — piotrek1543, Dec 11 '15 at 20:34
Well, I thought that you haven't installed properly an app on your device — piotrek1543, Dec 11 '15 at 20:44
No it is installed well. i can open it manually too. By the way i am using emulator — user3717841, Dec 11 '15 at 20:49
so it must a problem with eclipse configuration. Try solutions in the first link in post I've added below. It's StackOverflow discussion. — piotrek1543, Dec 11 '15 at 20:52

it seems to be a problem with your Android configuration in Eclipse IDE. Try to solve by using solutions from: Android Eclipse - Could not find *.apk

I'm not already using Robotium, but please check also a configuration for your Robotium library. Read (if you haven't done yet) this great tutorial:

Probably your .APK has not been generated inside /gen/bin/ folder, check first if your project doesn´t have any errors.

I you don´t have any errors just make a Refresh -> Build

Thanks for the reply. But there is no error in my project. Also i tried refresh and build again, Executed again, same issue. – user3717841 Dec 11 '15 at 20:48
What to you mean by libraries.? – user3717841 Dec 11 '15 at 20:57
Your project is working with library projects. go to Properties - > Android -> Library section http://i.stack.imgur.com/e9uWl.jpg – Jorgesys Dec 11 '15 at 21:03
No. Library section is empty. – user3717841 Dec 11 '15 at 21:10

Thanks for your responses.

However i think i was facing the issue because there was incompatibility between eclipse, JDK and Android version i was using. Initial config : Eclipse Indigo, JDK1.7 and Android 5.1.1 - API level 22

I changed configuration to: Eclipse Luna, JDK 1.7 and Android 5.1.1 - API level 22

So updating Eclipse to Luna solved my issue.
