Appium Android: How to use Text Attribute

[gowthamjs]

Hi,

I am trying to touch an element in the screen which has a unique “Text” attribute associated to it. I am not finding an option to use the same to touch the element. Is there any way to use “Text” attribute to touch or perform any validations.

Thanks.

You can find an element by the text string by using uiautomator. See this link for details:

Thanks for the reply! I have looked at the link & it worked using the xpath combined with the element’s name. Regard your solution, I never used the " driver.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator(value); Can you elaborate how to use the value? (typeSearch & the value string in your code). Thanks again…

Once you have the element, you can click it.

@gowthamjs
you can try this:
Android = By.xpath("//[@text=’" +Name + “’]”);
iOS - By by = By.xpath("//[@name=’" + Name + “’]”);
