Testing Youtube search suggestion list and picking item from there

Hi all,

I’ve been testing Youtube application in my Nexus 4. The application info is as following
package name - com.google.android.youtube
apk name - com.google.android.youtube-2.apk
main activity- com.google.android.youtube.HomeActivity

I have successfully made a search string with appium, but after that I am unable to find any element to get the list of results in the suggestion provider popup. I am using uiautomatorviewer on ubuntu 14 and windows 7 as well

Here is the sample code


        public WebDriver setUp() throws MalformedURLException {
		DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
		capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");
		capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "LG Nexus 4");
		capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "4.4");
		capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
		capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.google.android.youtube");
		capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.google.android.youtube.HomeActivity");
		/*capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.android.calculator2");
		capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.android.calculator2.Calculator");*/
		WebDriver driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
		
		return driver;
	}

	public void testYoutube(WebDriver driver) throws Exception
	{		
		
		WebElement searchButton = driver.findElement(By.id("com.google.android.youtube:id/menu_search"));
		searchButton.click();
		
		WebElement searchQueryText = driver.findElement(By.id("android:id/search_src_text"));		
		searchQueryText.sendKeys("spring framework");		
		
	}
	

	/**
	 * @param args
	 * @throws Exception 
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		
		YoutubeDriver appDriver = new YoutubeDriver();
		WebDriver driver = appDriver.setUp();
		appDriver.testYoutube(driver);

	}

Here is the screen shot taken from uiautomatorviewer

Now how can I access the elements in the suggestion provider box ?

Thanks

Have you tried seeing if those suggestions are in another Context?

Or, you can try calling dumping the page source, and seeing if the elements are there.
