Answer 1

Pre-Check - Verify the java Version installed in your system.
VERIFY - java -version

java version "1.8.0_221" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_221-b11) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.221-b11, mixed mode)

If this message appears that means you have JAVA 8 install and uiautomatorviewer only supports till JAVA 8.

So install JAVA 8 from here and if you already have JAVA install down grade it to JAVA 8
