title: Cannot initialize AndroidDriver
body: <p>At W2k8 64 bit I have in the android emulator instance of android 4.1  API Level 16 with ARM as CPU.
  After launch of it I'm running my UnitTest and on the first line </p>
  
  <pre><code> var webDriver = new AndroidDriver("http://localhost:8080/wd/hub"); //also with no argument
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I got an exception:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Unexpected error. System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---&gt; System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8080

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Version of this WebDriver is 2.25.1.0.</p>
  
  <p>I followed this article:</p>

  <p>When I'm using other drivers like Firefox- or ChromeDriver works fine.</p>
  
  <p>I would be gratefull for any advice</p>
