Trying to Automate a hybrid app. I have seem several open issues regarding hybrid app but could not find any solution. I have included the Java Code, Appium log and Eclipse error stack below :

Java Code :

public class hybridapp {

I am also facing the same issue. Did you get any sol for this?
Please do reply.

I did. The issue I was having was with google chrome driver. I was not able to fix it but found a workaround with Selendroid. I set the desired capabilities on my code to selendroid and change the automation name on the GUI to Selendroid.
Having said that, I did nothing different but the same code seems to work since Appium 1.4.0 Release. I would suggest you to upgrade Appium if you haven’t already.

looks like this problem still exists in 1.4.13. I added my gist. I’m not sure if anyone has a beat on this. I may play with using my own chromedriver version.
Cheers
Eric

I am able to access elements in webview but not in NATIVE_APP context while running selendroid for my hybrid app. Is anyone able to access native elements?

I found solution on git hub and tried, this solution worked for me atleast in those cases where appium was dying because of changing context, try with latest release of appium 1.4.16:

  1. download chromedriver 2.20 from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads and keep it somewhere like ~/Desktop
  2. give it executable permission like chmod +x ~/Desktop/chromedriver
  3. add capability to driver like :
    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
    capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”, “Android”);
    capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”, “Android”);
    capabilities.setCapability(“app”, appFile.getAbsolutePath());
    capabilities.setCapability(“serial”, deviceID);
    capabilities.setCapability(“newCommandTimeout”, “120”);
    capabilities.setCapability(“chromedriverExecutable”, “Desktop/tpt/chromedriver”));
    driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://localhost:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);
  4. thats it, you should be good now.
