  • I checked that answer bro, its different. My appium server wasn't even started – Anmol Singh Feb 26 '18 at 05:04
  • Have you also tried the second answer of that linked question? Where the issue is related to incorrect permissions. – Chuk Ultima Feb 26 '18 at 08:25
  • @ChukUltima, tried that too, still getting the same error. In the command prompt its displayed "E/Screenshot: Unsupported protocol: 2". – Anmol Singh Feb 26 '18 at 16:18

You cannot get the screenshot while the appium server is still running. If you're using 'cmd' press 'CTRL + C' to terminate the session. Or if you're using the desktop version of Appium, you can try stopping the the appium server by closing the application.

Maybe use Android Device Monitor within the latest Android Studio version instead of UI Automation Viewer
