Hi there,
I have a registration screen on an Android app and I’m trying to fill all the text fields starting with first.
When reaching the screen, it scrolls down and the first edit text is not visible, so that the test will fail.
the code is:
driver.findElement(By.id("register.firstName.placeholder")).sendKeys("blabla");
driver.findElement(By.id("register.lastName.placeholder")).sendKeys("blabla");
Did anyone have this issue in the past?
Hi,
Is the id correct?
Sometimes you might have to first click on the editbox and then enter values into it.
You can try clicking on edit boxes before entering text.
Thanks,
Sujata
Actually, that id is the key from strings.xml file. Am i using it wrong?
Could you check what id you see when you inspect Android app using Appium Inspector?
If you see the same under resource-id in Appium inspector window also?
Thanks,
Sujata
i am using uiautomatorviewer, since I’m trying right now to write for android and the keys located in strings.xml are not displayed there.
However the resource ID is the same for all the fields, because the edit text fields are displayed dynamically on the screen(i have this from dev-team :))
Hi,
Were you able to click on edit fields using above ids?
Thanks
i’m using uiautomatorviewer too. and basically i think the id you got will include the package of the app.
Example: If your app package is com.example.myapp so the id should be com.example.myapp:id/register.firstName.placeholder not just id by itself.
But i think you can copy the id from uiautomatorviewer.
In some case the UI is hierarchy so you can not select that element, but i think your case is not.
I cannot use com.example.myapp:id/register.firstName.placeholder because the “register.firstName.placeholder” is the name of the key located in strings.xml file.
so what is the id you got when inspect screenshots by uiautomator?
the id seen in uiautomatorviewer is “com.myapp.package:id/registration_field”
but all the existing fields have this id, since they are generated programmatically
I am experiencing the same issue of not being able to send keys to a text field when other text fields are present on the page. On a page with just one text field it works fine. I tried the suggestion (from sujata_kalluri) to click on the field before sending keys to it but that did not work either. When I manually tapped on the field (on the device) to focus in it then the keys were sent to the field. Any ideas on what else I can try? Thanks.
List EditText = driver.findElementsByClassName(“android.widget.EditText”);
EditButton.get(0).sendKeys(“Hi”);
Try the above code
Thanks for your response siva8kolli. I gave it a try and got the same result. Appium logs indicate that it thinks it found the element and sent the keys successfully. But nothing has happened in the screen.
Does it work for you when you have multiple EditText fields in a page?

Just trying different things I tried to get the “id” attribute of the EditText element and got the following exception

Btw siva8kolli, does this work for you when you have multiple EditText fields on a page? Are you doing this on a Mac or Windows? I can’t say yet that it might be a Mac issue but I have seen this working on Windows and having this issue on Mac.
@bc I’m using same code on Windows and Mac. Its working
Hello Sir,
