Run Selenium directly on Pydroid3 on Android

my goal is to run a python script that uses Selenium to manipulate the chrome browser, directly with Pydroid 3 app on my android smartphone (without a pc connection).
I followed the instructions at the link https://chromedriver.chromium.org/getting-started/getting-started---android to download the appropriate webdriver and set it correctly for Android.
In detail the version of Chrome on my Smartphone (Samsung S10) is 108.0.5359.128 therefore, following what is indicated here:
https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads#h.p_ID_32
I downloaded webdriver "chromedriver_linux64.zip" present at the following link:
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=108.0.5359.71/
But following this example
https://chromedriver.chromium.org/getting-started/getting-started---android#h.p_ID_390 and running the following Python3 script:
from selenium import webdriver
path_to_chromedriver = os.path.dirname(__file__) + '/chromedriver'
print('path_to_chromedriver: ', path_to_chromedriver)
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option('androidPackage', 'com.android.chrome')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(path_to_chromedriver, 0, options=options)
driver.get('https://google.com')
driver.quit()
or this one:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
path_to_chromedriver = os.path.dirname(__file__) + '/chromedriver'
print('path_to_chromedriver: ', path_to_chromedriver)
service = Service(path_to_chromedriver)
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option('androidPackage', 'com.android.chrome')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)
driver.get('https://google.com')
I get this error:
path_to_chromedriver: /storage/emulated/0/Download/ke-ce-verimme-justwatch-scraper/ke-ce-verimme-justwatch-scraper/scrapers/chromedriver

Can anyone help me or suggest a workaround?

Control Vivaldi browser

I want to manage the tabs of Vivaldi (Windows) using Python: get URLs, focus a specific tab, open, close, reload...
This post asks how to open Vivaldi, and my script does it, but not when/how it's supposed to do it:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
import os
current_user = os.getlogin()
s = Service(rf"C:\Users\{current_user}\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
The last line opens a new (unwanted) window of Vivaldi, which baffles me because I thought it should only declare a variable, and then nothing happens for some minutes. Finally I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Negozio\Dropbox\D.Apps\Negozio\Conta\test.py", line 7, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
File "C:\Program Files\Python310\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\chrome\webdriver.py", line 70, in __init__
super(WebDriver, self).__init__(DesiredCapabilities.CHROME['browserName'], "goog",
File "C:\Program Files\Python310\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\chromium\webdriver.py", line 90, in __init__
self.service.start()
File "C:\Program Files\Python310\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\common\service.py", line 105, in start
raise WebDriverException("Can not connect to the Service %s" % self.path)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can not connect to the Service C:\Users\Negozio\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe
I thought that Vivaldi should open with driver.get("http://url.com"), am I wrong? What's happening here, and above all how can I manage Vivaldi with Python?

AttributeError: can't set attribute in appium-python

i recieved this error: appium-python
i got this message:

am using appium and android studio emulator to simulate and automation test of android application.

I had this same issue and it got fixed by re-installing appium with python instead of npm.
I installed appium from source https://github.com/appium/python-client

Selennium Python can't load the profile Iceweasel

I am trying to run Selenium from the command line with Python. I have ice weasel installed n a raspberry pi. This is my code to initialise it:
from selenium import webdriver
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start()
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
However, whenever I try to run the file, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Error while Running a WebDriver using Python script

I had a problem running executing a Webdriver using a script in python using the library selenium. I have posted the sample code scenarios as well as the corresponding error thrown while executing.
Code Scenario:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
Error Scenario:

WindowsError: [Error 87] The parameter is incorrect
I coudnt understand the Error thrown. I just need to use the selenium library to retrieve a dynamic data from a website using a python script.

There is nothing wrong with your code, it works fine for me.
Do you have firefox installed? if not, you can use a different browser. for example:
driver = webdriver.Ie
or
driver = webdriver.Opera
