Findings/Solution

1. Make sure JDK is installed properly on the machine.

2. Check Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platform-tools are properly added and configured in eclipse or other IDE you are using.

Check if all the capabilities are set:-

DesiredCapabilities capabilites = new DesiredCapabilities(); capabilites.setCapability("device name", "deviceName"); capabilites.setCapability("platformVersion", "platformVersion"); capabilites.setCapability("platformName", "Android"); capabilites.setCapability("appPackage", "com.appPackage"); capabilites.setCapability("appActivity", "com.appActivity"); driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),capabilites
 

By rechecking the above steps I was able to fix this issue. And the function will look like this

public static AndroidDriver<MobileElement> driver=null;
    public static AppiumDriverLocalService service=null;
    service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildDefaultService();
    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();  
    capabilities.setCapability("platormName", "Android");  
    capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "DEVICENAME");  
    capabilities.setCapability("appPackage","com.vm.dashboard);  
    capabilities.setCapability("appActivity","com.vm.dashboard.activity.Activity");  
    service.start();
    driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(service, capabilities);
