@jonahss : doesn’t setValue function implementation supports pickerwheel object ? i tried and failed so still using sendkeys which is quiet slow and flakey in ios.
@bootstraponline knows much more about the current state of sendkeys than I do.
I know that this is an area of appium we really want to improve.
ok, I get it @jonahss, thanks for replying. However this question is little off the track but important to know, what is the alternative to identify the desired pickerwheel in shown image ? [There are 2 pickers, I guess one is coming from other screens which ain’t visible @ the moment, and so xpath keeps changing somtime in ‘window[1]’ and sometimes in window [2] ],
I tried with by className=UIAPickerWheel and tagName=UIAPickerWheel but both doesn’t work.
(my idea was to take in list and checking for visibility and performing action )
I also see, ios uiautomation strategy but couldn’t find any exact example in java to try it, is it more like passing javascript to instruments !! , will that work for pickewheel objects?
Hi,
I too have been wrestling with this for a while, but i got it working tonight.
One of my picker wheels displays a min value for a search. On a device the wheel displays currency, like $20,000… but in the object inspector, the value is showing as “$20,000 2. of 45”
The code below has worked for me.
driver.findElements(By.className(“UIAPickerWheel”)).get(0).sendKeys("$20,000");
I also do this in python:
621 def select_picker_wheel_by_name(self, label, name):
622 """
623 Helper function: Make selection on a picker wheel
624
625 Arguments:
626 label -- which picker wheel to select from
627 name -- picker wheel selection we want
628 """
629 picker_wheel = self.driver.find_element_by_class_name(
630 "UIAPickerWheel")
631 try:
632 # TODO: name vs. value attrib issue?
633 picker_wheel.send_keys(name)
634 except WebDriverException as e:
635 self.log.error(
636 "Cannot select {0} from the picker wheel: {1}".format(
637 name, e))
and it works great as long as the string you’re selecting is a “name” attribute, but I get a WebDriverException if the selection is also populated as a “value” attribute. Hrm.
Hey,
I tried to select a random month with year, I m unable to select it as scroll/swipe is not working.
PS: It always try to select a current value only as I understand UIAPickerWheel isn’t having list of values, so I try to scroll it, but could luck, any valuable suggestion will be appreciated.
Below is my code snippet with image:
//Click on select from year dropdown driver.findElement(By.xpath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIAScrollView[1]/UIATextField[7]")).click();
//Get number of UIAPickerWheel’s
List DatePicker = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIAPicker[1]/UIAPickerWheel"));
for (int i = 1; i <=DatePicker.size(); i++) {
IOSElement we = (IOSElement) driver.findElementByXPath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIAPicker[1]/UIAPickerWheel["+(i)+"]");
driver.scrollTo(“June”);
we.sendKeys(“June”);
}
Any input will be appreciated…
Maybe wrong use of scroll/swipe here. U can try “send_keys”.
Sendkey throws error, Still I m working on it for getting the proper solution.
I have the same problem with appium 1.5.3
sendKeys() works perfect for strings, but now I am facing a pickerwheel with integers as values and always get the error message: “selectValue requires a valid value”
And I am pretty sure I am addressing the right element. Any hints for me?
