Hi Everyone! I’ve been having trouble with setting the value of a PickerWheel in iOS/XCUI. Even though I’m using sendKeys() and setValue(), nothing happens. I don’t know if it may be because I’m casting my driver as an IOSDriver from an originally AppiumDriver and because of that setValue() may not work correctly???.. Anyway, I read Appium’s logs and found these pretty interesting, but still don’t know what to do. I wish to select the value “Stage/Env5” and when I call sendKeys and setValue methods like this: `pickerElement.setValue("Stage/Env5");` Or like this: `pickerElement.sendKeys("Stage/Env5");` Appium’s Logs send me this: Logs: > [2017-08-04 10:24:40][HTTP] → POST /wd/hub/session/b70cb12b-c2c7-4ad4-a263-800b1da07fcf/appium/element/998EA423-4E70-4D20-B720-7E72DCB3EEA2/value {“id”:“998EA423-4E70-4D20-B720-7E72DCB3EEA2”,“value”:“Stage/Env5”} > [2017-08-04 10:24:40][MJSONWP] Calling AppiumDriver.setValueImmediate() with args: [“Stage/Env5”,“998EA423-4E70-4D20-B720-7E72DCB3EEA2”,“b70cb12b-c2c7-4ad4-a263-800b1da07fcf”] > [2017-08-04 10:24:40][XCUITest] Executing command ‘setValueImmediate’ > [2017-08-04 10:24:40][XCUITest] There is currently no way to bypass typing using XCUITest.

Another thing that I think may be causing this is that, PickerWheel’s available values are the ones that I can read in the Logs, but when I inspect the screen, the setted value is different, its showed as this: > “_nameOfValue_, _indexOfValue_ of _totalNumberOfValues_” Instead of the value itself by its own. I also have some pictures: ![image](https://discuss.appium.io/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a8f474778e6f3203a7799034c0ff8263c2866b17.jpg) ![image](https://discuss.appium.io/uploads/default/original/2X/9/936442c74d42942e356ddcaa808824d21f6dcdf6.png) I hope you guys can help 'cause I’ve tried everything I can, and searched through Google but haven’t found a solution in the related issues. Thanks! ---

@BrunoAlva, I had a similar issue with PickerWheels and used JavaScript executor + Mobile Gestures to resolve the issue. Below if the function I am using as a workaround. Hope this will resolve your issue too public static boolean Select\_Required\_Value\_From\_PickerWheel(String ByClassName\_ToFindChildrenInPicker, String ExpectedElementToSelect, int PickerWheelIndex) { //Initialize return variable boolean bln\_ExpectedElementToSelect = false; ``` try { //Get PickerWheel Item List wheels = appiumDriver.findElements(MobileBy.className("XCUIElementTypePickerWheel")); int WheelListSize = wheels.get(PickerWheelIndex).findElements(By.className(ByClassName_ToFindChildrenInPicker)).size(); for (int i = 0; i < WheelListSize; i++) { //Read the selected value String strPickerWheelSelectedValue = wheels.get(PickerWheelIndex).getText(); if (strPickerWheelSelectedValue.contains(ExpectedElementToSelect)){ bln_ExpectedElementToSelect = true; break; } //Navigate to next item in the list JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) appiumDriver; Map params = new HashMap<>(); params.put("order", "next"); params.put("offset", 0.15); params.put("element", ((RemoteWebElement) wheels.get(PickerWheelIndex)).getId()); js.executeScript("mobile: selectPickerWheelValue", params); } } catch (Exception e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } //Return value return bln_ExpectedElementToSelect; } ``` ---

Thanks much for sharing code. struggling to resolve this issue & got solution. Though it takes much time to get pickerwheel size & to select required option, tests are executing successfully. not sure why .sendkey() are not working to pick values from picker wheel.
