Chrome browser Navigation Bar controls can not be controlled in NATIVE_APP mode

[sika_KW]

I’m trying to get this element in Chrome Browser for Android //*[@resource-id=“com.android.chrome:id/menu_button_wrapper”]

I’m opening chrome browser and I’m switching the context to NATIVE_APP
Then I try to click on this id, but it always fails.
Then I’ve used driver.getPageSource() to get a list of all elements but the CHROME navigation bar controls aren’t listed in there.

My question is: Is there a way to control “More options” button in Chrome, then the rest like “Bookmark button”?

Thanks!

            getDriver().get("https://m.cnn.com");

		AppiumDriver<?> driver = (AppiumDriver<?>)((EventFiringWebDriver)getDriver()).getWrappedDriver();
		Set<String> contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
		for (String contextName : contextNames){
			System.out.println(contextName);
		}
		driver.context((String) contextNames.toArray()[0]);
		System.out.println(driver.getContext().toString());
		System.out.println(driver.getPageSource().toString());

try split problem into:

1. did element found before tap and has correct location?
2. does tap/click happens? enable in developer menu show touches

try also another approach -> open chrome as native app! instead of as browser (although this will need another approach how to enter URL). for example i am closing all tabs in some case like:

myApp().homePage().waitHelpers.waitElementsLoaded(MobileBy.id("com.android.chrome:id/tab_switcher_button"), 10);
myApp().homePage().tap(getDriver().findElement(MobileBy.id("com.android.chrome:id/tab_switcher_button")));
myApp().homePage().tap(getDriver().findElement(MobileBy.id("com.android.chrome:id/menu_button")));
myApp().homePage().tap(getDriver().findElement(MobileBy.id("com.android.chrome:id/close_all_tabs_menu_id")));

Hi @Aleksei,

in this morning I’ve run my script, one more time, and this time I was able to click on

[@resource-id=“com.android.chrome:id/menu_button_wrapper]

Also

System.out.println(driver.getPageSource().toString());

printed all the elements from NATIVE_APP correctly.

For the past few days, I wasn’t able to make it work but today it did. Due to your reply, my problem got magically solved.

Thanks and Cheers!
