Android Version : 4.4.2

Java Client : 1.6.0
I am able to access the combobox and select text from the dropdown list.
In UI it displays selected text.
But programmatically, I am not able to access it via combobox.
If I try, getText() api on WebElement mapping to this combobox, it returns “”. [empty]
Even in UI Dump View, it displays text field as empty.
Currently text si associated with a textview within combobox. How do I access it?
Do I need to access that textView and then getText() ?
I got this working with below code -
driver.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator(“new UiSelector().<<locator>>”).childSelector(“new UiSelector().className(“android.widget.TextView”)”);
I’m new to this appium tool. I have followed the same as above code but its not working for me.
My application having only views (resource id is restricted in my application) . I want to get the text of selected one.
I’m using android 4.4.2 version.
This is my code:
Hi @PRABU90,
I see that its inside a WebView [android.webkit.WebView], so add some delay to make sure WebView is loaded and then refer to it using content-desc value “Create”
I have following code working for similar situation -
//If can be omitted, just to make sure below code executes only after webview is loaded.
if(dUtil.isElementFoundByClassName("android.webkit.WebView")) {
MobileElement ele = dUtil.findElementByAndroidContentDescription("Create");
if(ele != null)
ele.click();
}
Below two APIs are defined inside DriverUtil class which is referred above as dUtil -
public boolean isElementFoundByClassName(String using) {
boolean found = false;
if (!mDriver.findElements(By.className(using)).isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Element with Class Name : "+using+" Found!!!");
found = true;
}
else
System.out.println("Element with Class Name : "+using+" NOT Found!!!");
return found;
}
public MobileElement findElementByAndroidContentDescription(String desc) {
String using = "new UiSelector().description(\""+desc+"\")";
MobileElement mElement=null;
try {
mElement = (MobileElement) mDriver.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator(using);
}
catch(NoSuchElementException e) {
System.out.println("NoSuchElementExecption : "+e.getMessage());
mElement = null;
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
return mElement;
}
I have tried with delay but it didn’t work out. I have followed the code above to click the element, but I’m getting a message in console like “Element with Class Name : android.webkit.WebView NOT Found!!!”. Thanks for your reply. I want to get the text of the element. Any idea regarding this ?
