	AndroidDriver <AndroidElement> driver=Capabilities();
	
	driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS );

@sachi041 give a try:

String text = "Preference";
Mobile el = driver.findElement(MobileBy
                        .AndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector()).scrollIntoView("
                                + "new UiSelector().text(\"" + text + "\"));")));
new TouchAction((MobileDriver) driver).press(el).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(70)).release().perform();

Hi Aleksei Thanks for the reply. Is there any mistake in my code ? and I am beginner and you are code looks bit complex to me.

4

NOT correct. correct is something like “//android.widget.TextView[text()="Preference"]” BUT better use mine - it does automatic swipe to needed element when it outside screen.

5

You can also try the following locators…

By.id("text1") // If it's unique

or

MobileBy.AccessibilityId("Preference") // matches content-desc

Aleksei, does that UiScrollable work for UIAutomator2 also?

6

@sachi041 are you able to resolve the question you asked? I am newbie too and started automation 2 days back. I am also facing the same issue. Could you please share the resolution with me too? or @Brian_Watson any help from you is also highly appreciated. thanks.

7

@Aleksei any guidance from your side knowing that I have also the same code as shared by @sachi041 in the very first post.

8

@Waqas_Ahmed any problem with code i gave? Just did not get your problem…

@Aleksei thanks for the reply:
I didn’t get your code since it looked difficult to me.
I’m writing this code and purpose is to click on a button which takes the user to next screen. Upon tapping that button it takes to other screen. For now, as I run the App, the App starts but the automatic taps don’t happen. in Udemy tutorial same code works but not for me.

	driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
	//to click on specific object/position on a screen
	driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.TextView[text()='Preference']").click();
	driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.TextView[text()='3. Preference dependencies']").click();
	//finding element by ID
	driver.findElementById("android:id/checkbox").click();
	// 
	driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.RelativeLayout)[2]").click();
10

@Waqas_Ahmed mine code helps for Android to scroll lists and find needed text. If it is your case - use it. For simple tap use any working for you.

It is hard to say what does not work for you without screenshot and page source.

@Aleksei Hello,
I have a very similar issue. The appium inspector give me the following xpath, (resourceid is null value in this element). This app is an android app made by flutter.
Appium inspector:

MobileElement el2 = (MobileElement) driver.findElementByXPath("/hierarchy/android.widget.FrameLayout/android.widget.LinearLayout/android.widget.FrameLayout/android.view.View/android.view.View/android.view.View/android.view.View/android.view.View[7]/android.view.View[4]");
el2.click();

image.png1372×624 31.4 KB

I used several xpath without to get perform click on this element (by text, etc…)
//driver.findElementByXPath("//android.view.View[7]/android.view.View[4]").click();
//driver.findElementByXPath("//android.view.View[contains(@text, ‘Información’)]").click();

Can you help me about this, please?
Thank you in advance!

try

String text = "your_text";
        driver.findElement(MobileBy
                .AndroidUIAutomator("new UiSelector().text(\""+text+"\")"));
13

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. Error is displayed because the element isn’t located.
Exception in thread “main” org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters.

The code is the following:

your text contains diatonic. it may look differently. not as you see. try 100% latin.

@fer try CONTAINS! mine example was when text equals.

String text = "your_text";
        driver.findElement(MobileBy
                .AndroidUIAutomator("new UiSelector().textContains(\""+text+"\")"));

It doesn’t work textContains too. The element is not found. This app is made by “flutter”. I don’t now it is the problem.
Appium inspetor recognizes this item “Log In”.

String text = “Log In”; driver.findElement(MobileBy
.AndroidUIAutomator(“new UiSelector().textContains(”"+text+"")")).click();

@Aleksei
Finally, I got to perform click on this element with that sentence in flutter apk :slight_smile:
The problem was another related with the setup when the apk is installed.
Thank you.

I tried to use below code: It worked perfectly for me

driver.findElement(By.xpath("(//*[@class=‘android.widget.TextView’])[8]")).click();
