Hi,
I’m trying to get an web page source in my hybrid app.
Actually i need to get an text field id of my web page which is located in my native app frame-layout.

Am I need to switch Web view or What to do to get page source ? ? ?

How to locate an user name and password field ?

used below code :

System.out.println("source : "+ driver.getPageSource());

Yes you need to switch to webview in order to get the page source.

Once you switch to the webview rest is pure selenium web automation. You can use id/css/class name as you would use for a webpage.

Hope it helps.

For switching between context you need to use Appium java client bindings.

driver.context("the web view context you wish to switch");

Refer this thread.
