Downloading PDF using Selenium Java not working in Chrome

I have written the following code to disable the Chrome PDF viewer so that the PDF file can be downloaded automatically in the C:\downloads folder when the link is opened in Chrome.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<>();
prefs.put("download.default_directory", "C:\\downloads");
prefs.put("download.prompt_for_download", false);
prefs.put("plugins.always_open_pdf_externally", true);
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
options.addArguments("--test-type");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Unfortunately the PDF viewer does not get disabled properly I believe. Here's what I get with this code when I open that PDF url:
Even if I enable the Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome, I still get the above result.
Is there any other solution to get the file downloaded automatically in Chrome?

I managed automatic PDF download in Chrome with loading existing browser profile. Maybe you need just a profile without PDF viewer.
public class WebdriverSetup {
public static String chromedriverPath = "C:\\Users\\pburgr\\Desktop\\selenium-tests\\GCH_driver\\chromedriver.exe";
public static String chromeProfilePath = "C:\\Users\\pburgr\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data";
public static WebDriver driver;
public static WebDriver startChromeWithCustomProfile() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromedriverPath);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("user-data-dir=" + chromeProfilePath);
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
return driver;
}
public static void shutdownChrome() {
driver.close();
driver.quit();
}
}

Appium error while instantiating the object

This is a BeforeClass that I was creating (Java, Appium, TestNG)
private AndroidDriver driver;
#BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException{
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APPIUM_VERSION, "1.7.1");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME,"Android");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "9NLJA17619012618");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appActivity", ".activity.LaunchActivity");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.aaa.app");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "7.1.2");
URL url = new URL("http://localhost:4723/wd/hub");
driver = new AndroidDriver(url,desiredCapabilities);
}
(I know there is a mix of MobileCapabilityType and others without that format, but that i not the point I think)
And then a bunch of #Test
This error appeared:
Failed tests: setUp(tests.TestShop):
class io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver has interface io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver as super class
Any Clue?

add MobileElement or WebElement while initializing appium driver.
driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(url,desiredCapabilities);
Also change your deviceName to udid. Also make sure your appActivity is correct.
Your code must be like following:
#BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException{
DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("platformName","Android");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Any name");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("udid", "9NLJA17619012618");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appActivity", ".activity.LaunchActivity");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.aaa.app");
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "7.1.2");
URL url = new URL("http://localhost:4723/wd/hub");
driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(url,desiredCapabilities);
}

webdriver on safari works well in debug mode, but could not work well when I run it

I test safari browser on Windows with Selenium Webdriver, when in debug mode, my script works well, but when I run it, it could not work well. Does anyone encounter this situation?
public class JustForTestSafari {
public WebDriver driver;
#Test
public void f() {
driver = new SafariDriver();
String baseURL = "http://universitytest.emersonprocess.com/";
String expectedTitle = "ProcessWorld - Your Connection to Global Information";
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
driver.get(baseURL);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
String actulTitle = driver.getTitle();
Assert.assertEquals(expectedTitle, actulTitle);
driver.findElement(By.id("_ctl0_mastercontent_username")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("_ctl0_mastercontent_username")).sendKeys("***.guo");
driver.findElement(By.id("_ctl0_mastercontent_password")).clear();
driver.findElement(By.id("_ctl0_mastercontent_password")).sendKeys("*******");
driver.findElement(By.id("_ctl0_mastercontent_btn_standardsignin")).click();
}

Running Selenium Webdriver script in Chrome

I am trying to run Selenium Webdriver script in Chrome, have added following lines in my existing script
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\Garimaari\\IdeaProjects\\Webdriver testing\\Chromedriver\chromedriver.exe");
private WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
I am building my script in Intellij using Java. Not sure why i am getting "can not resolve symbol setProperty". I tried changing JRE and JDK files but nothing has worked. Any help would be appreciated.
Adding code
public class StartCaseJava extends TestCase {
private boolean acceptNextAlert = true;
private StringBuffer verificationErrors = new StringBuffer();
// Getting Date and Timestamp for Last Name
Date d = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMddyyHHmmss");
public void setUp() throws Exception {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\Garimaari\\IdeaProjects\\Webdriver testing\\Chromedriver\\chromedriver.exe");
// private WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
// driver = new FirefoxDriver();
// driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
private WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
public void testStartCaseJava() throws Exception {
// System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\Garimaari\\IdeaProjects\\Webdriver testing\\Chromedriver\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

It's a long shot but should this
C:\Users\Garimaari\IdeaProjects\Webdriver testing\Chromedriver\chromedriver.exe")
maybe be renamed to C:\Users\Garimaari\IdeaProjects\Webdriver testing\Chromedriver\chromedriver.exe")
or are the double back slashes actually a necessary feature?

This might be because of one missing '\' before chromedriver.exe in your setProperty string.
Try using :
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\Garimaari\\IdeaProjects\\Webdriver testing\\Chromedriver\\chromedriver.exe");

I am able to run my script using Chrome now. Here is the small sample declaration I used:
class StartCaseJAva {
static WebDriver driver;
public void testcasejava()) {
System.setProperty(path);
driver = new ChromeDriver();
}
}

PhantomJSDriver works for HTTP but not for HTTPS

public class FooTest {
WebDriver driver;
#Before
public void beforeTest() {
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
driver = new PhantomJSDriver(capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().pageLoadTimeout(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
#Test
public void test() {
driver.get("http://www.example.com");
WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.tagName("h1"));
System.out.println("TEXT" + e.getAttribute("innerHTML"));
assertNotNull(e);
driver.quit();
}
}
Hi, I'm just simply trying get the h1 tag in www.example.com which says "Example Domain." The code works for http://www.example.com but not for https://www.exmaple.com. How can I fix this problem? Thanks

PhantomJSDriver does not support (all) DesiredCapabilities.
You will need:
caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
caps.setCapability(PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_CLI_ARGS, new String[] {"--web-security=no", "--ignore-ssl-errors=yes"});
driver = new PhantomJSDriver(caps);
