Unable to launch via Android Studio or Appium Inspector

[simon-gilmurray]

Trying to run Espresso Driver from a test within Android Studio and getting a connection error everytime:

08-22 10:36:57.147 14941 14962 E TestRunner: org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure

I'm not sure why as I'm defining the following in my capabilities:
return new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

My Appium Server logs show the following which make it look like it's trying a totally different port, but I don't know how to change this...I've tried adding a systemPort capability within my test and setting it but that doesn't seem to help either

What did you see in logcat? why did the espresso service unexpectedly crash?
