Hi there trying to get a simple click to work but running into warious errors. my code is as follows.

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

import org.junit.Test;

public class desiredcapa {

@Test
public void test() throws MalformedURLException {

DesiredCapabilities cap=new DesiredCapabilities();
	File appDir = new File("C:/testing apks");
	
	File app = new File(appDir, "checkers_android_20150921_v2.2.35.apk");

cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, app.getAbsolutePath());
AndroidDriver driver=new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),cap);

   
//driver.findElementsByAndroidUIAutomator("new UiSelector().text('Browse')").click();
//driver.findElementsByXPath('//text[@value="Sign In"]').click();
//driver.findElement(By.xpath("//text[@id='Browse']")).click();
WebElement browse = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.Button[@id='Browse'"));
browse.click();


}

}

This is the appium logs. DO i have to input APP package and APP activity?

Looks like appium could not find the above element. Does this show up in arc or the inspector?

HI there

In my UI Automator viewer the details are as follows. Not all the Node Details are filled in. I tried using the findbytext but dont have that option in webdriver or androiddriver. How can i with limited details impliment this?

Ah looks like a syntax error (missing bracket) You have this:
WebElement browse = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.Button[@id=‘Browse’"));
browse.click();

It should be this:

WebElement browse = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.Button[@id=‘Browse’]"));
browse.click();

good luck!

HI thanks for the help changed my code a bit. working now. inputing a wait exception also helped.

I am having a issue while running automation script
I am getting org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: error

Sample code:

 //driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("RootTopLeftMenuButton");
 //driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.view.ViewGroup[@accessibility id=RootTopLeftMenuButton]")).click();
//driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.view.ViewGroup[@content-desc=\'RootTopLeftMenuButton\']")).click();
 driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@accessibility id=\'RootTopLeftMenuButton\']")).click();
 // driver.findElement(By.id("RootTopLeftMenuButton")).click();
