.click() not working on button for Android?

Garima_Mody · July 8, 2016, 6:27am

I am using Appium 1.5.3 on ubuntu. The .click() and tap() isn’t working for button. My code is:
> webDriver.findElement(By.id(“btn_login”));

    TouchAction Action = new TouchAction((MobileDriver) webDriver);
    Action.tap(webDriver.findElement(By.id("btn_login")));

what is the output displaying over appium server after this action ?

I said about the uiauotomatorviewer output not the console output

Garima_Mody · July 11, 2016, 11:35am

sorry but where do we get output in uiautomatorviewer?

yadsandy · July 11, 2016, 11:42am

I mean the screenshot of inspecting the element using uiautomatorviewer (You can open uiautomatorviewer directly type it over cmd or terminal)

Garima_Mody · July 12, 2016, 5:32am

yadsandy · July 12, 2016, 5:40am

Here you mentioned different id for button and the id displaying in uiautomatorviewer is different . please recheck it and try again

Garima_Mody · July 12, 2016, 7:00am

i am using btn_login only.

vk123 · August 18, 2016, 4:03pm

Seems like similar issue with click on android i posted here - Cannot click on a web element in Chrome (possible when Selendroid is used)

Suman_Bala · August 18, 2016, 5:45pm

@Garima_Mody you can find element by ID or xpath in this case. See below - Use any of them

driver.findElement(By.id(“btn_login”)).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//android.widget.Button[@text=‘Login’]”)).click();

fionazj · August 19, 2016, 7:15am

Hi
You may try this: add scroll to the location of element before click, this worked for me when click the button in Chrome of android mobile
> public void clickElement(WebElement el) {
> try {
> if(Base.platformName.equalsIgnoreCase(ConstantName.ANDROID))
> ((JavascriptExecutor) Base.base.getDriver()).executeScript(“window.scrollTo(0,” +el.getLocation().x+ “)”);
> TouchActions ta = new TouchActions(Base.base.getDriver());
> ta.singleTap(el).perform();
> } catch (WebDriverException ex) {
> throw ex;
> }
> }

What is correct solution for this?

tjmaher1 · June 1, 2017, 1:29am

Use Appium Desktop to investigate the mobile element.

Maybe the Mobile element isn’t set to be clickable or tappable?

Sanjeewahsp · September 2, 2017, 6:44am

I have same issue. I have opened it on appium desktop and mobile element isn’t set to be clickable or tappable.
what is the solution of this issue?

varun · January 29, 2019, 10:18am

Hi,

driver.executeScript(“mobile: performEditorAction”, ImmutableMap.of(“action”, “done”));

github.com

appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/android/android-ime.md

## How To Emulate IME Actions Generation

Very often Android developers use [onEditorAction](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.OnEditorActionListener.html#onEditorAction(android.widget.TextView,%20int,%20android.view.KeyEvent)) callback with `actionId` argument to implement actions handling, for example, when `Search` or `Done` button is pressed on the on-screen keyboard. Appium since version 1.9.2 allows to automate the generation of such actions by providing the special `mobile:` command.


### mobile: performEditorAction

Executes the given editor action on the _currently focused_ element.

#### Supported arguments

 * _action_: The name or an integer code of the editor action to be executed. The following action names are supported: `normal, unspecified, none, go, search, send, next, done, previous`. Read https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/EditorInfo for more details on this topic.

#### Usage examples

```java
// Java
driver.executeScript("mobile: performEditorAction", ImmutableMap.of("action", "Go"));
```
