Read sms message on real device (Android)

Hi ,

Is there a way to read a sms message on real device (Android) , the idea is to read it straight from the notification bar and not from the messages app.

Thanks

Can we get device notifications using AndroiDriver

so code is: //open notification ((AndroidDriver) driver).openNotifications(); sleep(1); //wait while notifications are playing animation to appear to avoid missed taps nativeNotificationPage = new NativeNotificationPage(driver); assertTrue("Native notification page is NOT loaded", nativeNotificationPage.isNativeNotificationPage()); int itemsListSize = nativeNotificationPage.getLastItemsContentSize(); String title, text; int notificationItemNum = 0; for (int i = 0; i <= itemsListSize; i++) { …

@MrZigaS thanks for the link

Aleksei’s solution is great , the only problem with the PO for notification bar that is almost unlimited , each phone manufacture creates his own UI implementation and the UI controls have different ids therefore it’s hard to create generic PO

I’ve already seen differences between Pixel , Samsung and LG , and the devices list is huge

@igal_epshtein just use ALL_POSSIBLE:

@HowToUseLocators(androidAutomation = ALL_POSSIBLE)
@AndroidFindBy(uiAutomator = "new UiSelector().resourceId(\"android:id/Fakecontent\")")
@AndroidFindBy(id = "android:id/Faketext1")
@AndroidFindBy(uiAutomator = "new UiSelector().resourceId(\"android:id/list\")")
//by this locator element is found
@AndroidFindBy(id = "android:id/FakeId")
private List<WebElement> findAllElementViews;
