Hi,
I'm running Junit test cases on android emulator with Eclips and Android webdriver
cannot catch the frame.

With trying the following code:

WebElement MNSAPIDashboard = driver.findElement(By.name("MNSAPIDashboard"));
        driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
        driver.switchTo().frame(MNSAPIDashboard);

 - Test always stopped in row with "driver.switchTo().frame(MNSAPIDashboard);" with
exception below:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.openqa.selenium.android.AndroidWebElement cannot
be cast to org.openqa.selenium.internal.WrapsElement

in the referenced libraries I have:

selenium-java-2.22.0.jar
selenium-server-2.22.0.jar
selenium-server-standalone-2.22.0.jar
selenium-server-standalone-2.0b2.jar

OS:XPSP3
Android emulator 4.0.3

Could it be resolved in some way?
Thanks in advance.

I get almost the same error every time I try to invoke the .isDisplayed() method on
an element. I'm using selenium-java-2.30.0.jar, android-server-2.21.0.apk and a Nexus
7 running Android 4.2

Selenium project no longer supports the AndroidDriver.

Please use Selendroid instead:
http://selendroid.io/webview.html

And log any issues against that project:
