Error obtaining UI hierarchy Error while obtaining UI hierarchy XML file: com.android.ddmlib.SyncException: Remote object doesn't exist

adb, android, android-uiautomator, testing, xml

Solution

The best way is to kill the adb server and start it again.

- sudo adb kill-server

- sudo adb start-server

This will do the trick.

Problem

I am testing my app with adb, but i get this error when i execute "dump view hierarchy for uiautomator": Error obtaining UI hierarchy Error while obtaining UI hierarchy XML file: com.android.ddmlib.SyncException: Remote object doesn't exist! My adb version is 1.0.36 and my android version is 6.0.1. This error comes launched only when in the interface there is a dynamic element that is in motion. thank you in advance.
