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:

Can anyone help me or suggest a workaround?

AttributeError: 'Service' object has no attribute 'process' - ChromeDriver Use

receiving the following error when attempting to run Chrome Driver via my Selenium Test in CodeSpace/Workspace.

The code I'm running currently is the below:
from selenium import webdriver

ser = Service("/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chromedriver")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ser)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
driver.quit()
I've added the selenium.webdriver.chrome.service line as it removed an issue with the executable path, but not the final Attribute Error?
Any help would be fantastic as have exhausted my Googling capabilities!
Just trying to initially get ChromeDriver working for another project but can't get it to launch due to the above error.

I'm not 100% if this works, but I think you can open the url of ur locally hosted website (like "localhost:8000"):
from selenium import webdriver
PATH = "path to your webdriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("localhost:8000")
Hopefully this works

Python Selenium Error: Cannot find Opera binary

i'm trying out Python Selenium with my main browser, Opera, but i get a massive error when i execute the script, here's the python script:
from selenium import webdriver
path = r"C:\Users\sleep\Programs\operadriver_win64\operadriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Opera(executable_path=path)
driver.get('https://youtube.com')
And here's the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

How can i fix this?

can you try this :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.opera.options import Options
options = Options()
options.binary_location = r'C:\opera.exe path'
driver = webdriver.Opera(opera_options = options,
executable_path=r'C:\operadriver.exe path')
it might work, don't forget one is the opera path and one is the operadriver path

This link may help: https://github.com/operasoftware/operachromiumdriver/blob/master/examples/desktop.py
import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome import service
webdriver_service = service.Service('path/to/operadriver')
webdriver_service.start()
driver = webdriver.Remote(webdriver_service.service_url, webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.OPERA)
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
input_txt = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
input_txt.send_keys('operadriver\n')
time.sleep(5) #see the result
driver.quit()

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:

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
