Uiautomatorviewer SWT exception

Question

Since StackExchange advised me to not ask for help or clarification on a previously existing post, I am making a new thread.

On Windows 10x64 I downloaded the Eclipse SWT (in second-to-last section of Downloads page), set my ANDROID_SWT environment variable to <download location>\swt.jar, and have attempted to run uiautomatorviewer from cmd again, only to receive the same error message as when I tried to use the SWT bundled with eclipse:

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again

Has anyone else encountered this error, and if so, what was the root cause?

Thanks in advance for your time and help!

Answer 1

Precisely follow these instructions. I made the mistake of trying to download the Eclipse SWT in order to troubleshoot other issues I was having; setting this different SWT version in the CLASSPATH and ANDROID_SWT environment variables caused this exception.
