Can you paste your Python test script here?

[tulshidas]

from appium import webdriver
import time
import os

PATH = lambda p: os.path.abspath(
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(file), p))
desired_caps = {}
desired_caps[‘platformName’] = ‘Android’
#desired_caps[‘appiumVersion’] = ‘1.4.16.1’
#desired_caps[‘platformVersion’] = '4.2’
desired_caps[‘deviceName’] = '520377bf4269b355’
desired_caps[‘noReset’] = True
#desired_caps[‘app’] = PATH(‘xxx.apk’);
desired_caps[‘appPackage’] = 'com.xxx’
desired_caps[‘appActivity’] = 'com.xxx.setup.SplashScreen’
driver = webdriver.Remote(‘http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub’, desired_caps)

Test Actions here…

driver.implicitly_wait(15)

button = driver.find_elements_by_class_name(“android.widget.Button”)
button[1].click();

button1 = driver.find_elements_by_class_name(“android.widget.Button”)
button1[1].click();

time.sleep(30)

button2=driver.find_elements_by_class_name(“android.widget.TextView”)
print button2

driver.quit()

[tulshidas]

button2 print [ ] null array

[Venkatesh_Akula]

Assuming you are trying to click on the ‘Login’ button, can you try this?

button2 = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//android.widget.Button[@text = "LOGIN"]')
print button2

If you want to click on the Login button:

button2 = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//android.widget.Button[@text = "LOGIN"]')
button2.click()

[tulshidas]

button2 = driver.find_element_by_xpath(’//android.widget.Button[@text = “LOGIN”]’)
print button2

appium terminal shows
