AdbClient error: [Errno 10053] An established connection was aborted

Question

I am getting this error when I issue a device.takeSnapshot() command and device.touch() command:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\AndroidViewClient_Bots\pytesser\insta_get_list_of
_users.py", line 82, in <module>
    device.touch(213,481, 'DOWN_AND_UP')

socket.error: [Errno 10053] An established connection was aborted by the softwar
e in your host machine

Here is my code:

import sys
import os
import time
from PIL import Image # Python Image Library

try:
    sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.environ['ANDROID_VIEW_CLIENT_HOME'], 'src'))
except:
    pass

from com.dtmilano.android.adb.adbclient import AdbClient, Device
from com.dtmilano.android.viewclient import ViewClient, View


device, serialno = ViewClient.connectToDeviceOrExit(verbose=True)


my_img = device.takeSnapshot()
device.touch(200,300, 'DOWN_AND_UP')

It is really strange because if I ONLY have

my_img = device.takeSnapshot() 

or

device.touch(200,300, 'DOWN_AND_UP')

then I get no error. But together, in the same code, it generates the above error. Is there something I am not doing when issuing multiple device commands?

Answer 1

It's a bit tricky I guess. Your problem may come from the fact that device.takeSnapshot() is defined as

def takeSnapshot(self, reconnect=False):
    '''
    Takes a snapshot of the device and return it as a PIL Image.
    '''

    ...

so, if you are planning to keep using the connection after taking the snapshot use

device.takeSnapshot(reconnect=True)
