How to locate the allow button tried by using class and name locators but getting error
Hey Dhananjay…
I can easly find b Locators of Allow/Deny by UIAutomator.
I’ve encountered the same problem while allowing device to access the location. What i did is …stored the Allow button xpath in a list. Iterated the list and clicked on the Allow button. It worked fine for me.
Steps:
-
Store allow button locators in List as
@AndroidFindBys(value = @AndroidFindBy(id = AllowGPSPopUp_id))
public static List AllowGpsPopUp; -
write a method to click on Allow Button
public static void allowGpsAccess(List list) throws Exception
{if(list.isEmpty()) { driver.findElement(By.className(somewebElementbehind popup)).click(); log.info("Allow GPS button is unavailable"); try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } else{ driver.findElement(By.id(AllowGPSPopUp_id)).click(); try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } -
Call the method by passing the list as:
allowGpsAccess(AllowGpsPopUp);
It will work for sure.
how to store the “allow” button locators in list??? please clarify step by step so tht it will be useful
@dhananjay maybe better grant all permission to app with driver start?
capabilities.setCapability(AndroidMobileCapabilityType.AUTO_GRANT_PERMISSIONS, "true");
after ussing this capability in program ,i am getting this message: AUTO_GRANT_PERMISSIONS cannot be resolved or is not a field.
so what to do now ?
@dhananjay switch to latest java-client and add:
import io.appium.java_client.remote.*;

added the latest java client jar 5.0.2 still it is showing red line on AUTO_GRANT_PERMISSIONS
@dhananjay you can:
// add direct import
import io.appium.java_client.remote.AndroidMobileCapabilityType;
// or
capabilities.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions", "true");

@dhananjay pls share appium logs in debug mode
According to error you still see permissions.
@dhananjay no.
- set debug logs!
appium --log-level debug
- copy your logs into https://gist.github.com/ and share link
