Handle System Alerts in native android

User_Android · November 3, 2020, 7:36am

I am using native android apps and need to automate. I am stuck at a point where appium does not identify system alert pop ups.

I have tried adding implicit wait conditions, thread.sleep, and switchTo alerts. Nothing seems to work in this case.

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(25,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
MobileElement clickOK= (MobileElement) driver.findElement(By.id(“android:id/button1”));

(and)

driver.switchTo().accept().alert();
alert.accept();

if it permission you can accept them ALL on driver start with capabilities

capabilities.setCapability(AndroidMobileCapabilityType.AUTO_GRANT_PERMISSIONS, true);

if not -> show us your dialog with pageSource tree

No, the alerts are not permissions. Here is the HTML

It could be the alert is a part of another window. In this case changing of enableMultiWindows setting to true might help to see the dialog.

you code does no look much wrong try:

enable on phone in developer menu to show touches - you can see where tap actually happen
try also:

        List<MobileElement> okButton =  driver.findElements(MobileBy.id("android:id/button1"));
        System.out.println("okButton.size(): " + okButton.size()); // check size > 0 = found
        TapOptions tapOptions = new TapOptions().withElement(ElementOption.element(okButton.get(0)));
        new TouchAction(driver).tap(tapOptions).perform();
