UIAPickerWheel value selection

[Madhukar Jha]

Hi,

   How would i select a value of UIAPickerWheel control in IPhone using .net.

   var btnUIPicker = driver.FindElementsByTagName("UIAPickerWheel");

Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks 

Madhukar

Try "pickerwheel" for the tag name. We use mechanic element class names [1].

Thanks for reply. 

I am able to select object pickerwheel but not able to set/select any value in picker wheel. Suppose i have a picker wheel with values of months like Jan, Feb.. etc. i need to select any one the value. I have tried this also:

JSONObject tapObject = new JSONObject();

               tapObject.startX= 0.95;

               tapObject.startY= 0.5;

                tapObject.endX = 0.05;

                tapObject.endY = 0.05;

                tapObject.duration = 1.8;

                tapObject.touchCount = 2;

                Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(tapObject));

                JsonSerializerSettings j =new JsonSerializerSettings();

          

                driver.ExecuteScript("mobile: swipe", JsonConvert.SerializeObject(tapObject,Formatting.Indented));

but this approach returning error like "startX and startY parameter does not exist".

FYI: My Dev. language is c#

Thanks

Looks like we'll need an update to Appium to call UIAPickerWheel.selectValue(). I'll report back here when it's done.

Meanwhile, the reason your swipe isn't working may be that the second argument needs to be an array of length one containing the object. So instead of

driver.ExecuteScript("mobile: swipe", <object>)

It should be

driver.ExecuteScript("mobile: swipe", [<object>])

Not sure how to do that in c#.

[Jonathan Lipps]

Ok, check out https://github.com/appium/appium/pull/264. Should be merged soon.

The flow goes like this:

* get your picker element (tag name: picker)

* get all the wheels for that picker (tag name: pickerwheel)

* you can list values for that wheel by doing element.getAttribute("values")

* you can set the value by doing element.setValue(myNewValue)

* you can get the current value by doing element.getValue() -- note that this returns the value plus "x of y", where x is index of the value you chose, and y is total options.

Does the setValue work?  All I get is an error 'object has no attribute 'setValue'

[Al Villaflor]

Never mind. I was able to figure it out. Looks like you can do element.sendKeys() to set it instead of setValue.
thanks.

[Jonathan Lipps]

Yeah exactly. sendKeys uses setValue under the hood. This is a JSONWP wart.

Sorry to continue on this thread.  I just have question on how you can pick the items in Ruby

I use something like this but did not seem to work.

 driver.find_element(:xpath, '//picker[1]/pickerwheel[1]').select_value "https://mycompany.com/v2.4/. 2 of 9"

BTW, seems no way to record this pick method in the Recorder?

Hi Jonathan,

(Im using - Appium + Webdriver +Java+IOS 7)  driver.findElement(By.xpath(" //window[1]/picker[1]/pickerwheel[1]").sendKeys("1. 1 of 6");

 While getAttribure returns the correct attribute but while sending that attribute as keys it throws error 

But it fails with this error
Returning By locator: By.xpath: //window[1]/picker[1]/pickerwheel[1] [

What is wrong, please suggest.

updating

It works directly with normal sendkeys instead of value (1. 1 of 6)

driver.findElement(By.xpath(" //window[1]/picker[1]/pickerwheel[1]").sendKeys("1");  works without issue provided, appium inspector shows the complete xpath till the individual picker wheel.

What made it didnt work was, sometimes, appium inspector doenst comes on picker (still pointing to background) and so not selectable which gives impression that "picker" is a different element and has to be handled different way. Hope it gets solved in coming updates.
Thanks

i need to select the value "USA" whereas at the very first time when i inspect it is showing "United States" initially , only if i scroll to the next element say "US"  it is visible. i tried to take the tag name of the pickerwheel as follows , driver.findelement(By.tagname("pickerwheel")).getAttribute("value");

It prints me "United States" but i dont know how to go to the next element "US" or "USA". 

[Vignesh Radhakrishna]

Xpath for all the three elements are the same even though.

[automated tester]

Im still having issues with selecting a value in a pickerwheel. My pickerwheel displays Month Year values like "June 2014" then "July 2014" etc

i did driver.FindElementInTime(By.XPath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[2]/UIAPicker[1]/UIAPickerWheel[1]")).GetAttribute("Value"); and i get the value of "June 2014. 1 of 13" which is current month and year

i want to select next month so ive tried both the following:

driver.FindElementInTime(By.XPath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[2]/UIAPicker[1]/UIAPickerWheel[1]")).SendKeys("2");
driver.FindElementInTime(By.XPath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[2]/UIAPicker[1]/UIAPickerWheel[1]")).SendKeys("July 2014");

but fails and get exception:
System.InvalidOperationException : An error occurred while executing user supplied JavaScript. (UnexpectedJavaScriptError)
   at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.UnpackAndThrowOnError(Response errorResponse)
   at OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.Execute(String driverCommandToExecute, Dictionary`2 parameters)

   at WebDriver_HotelsCombined.AppiumiOsScreenShotComparison.TEST() in AppiumiOsScreenShotComparisons.cs: line 44

i really need to set the value ""July 2014" how can i do this ?

I'm facing some weird issue, Send keys for setting up the value was working fine now it throws :

Responding to client with error: {"status":17,"value":{"message":"An error occurred while executing user supplied JavaScript.","origValue":"Unexpected error in -[UIAPickerWheel_0xaabee50 _spinWheel:], /SourceCache/UIAutomation_Sim/UIAutomation-365.3/Framework/UIAItemElements.m line 358, kAXErrorInvalidUIElement"},"sessionId":"e2e7ef1f-dd10-4357-a693-6bfa843a834f"}

can someone explain me this issue or help me rectify it ?

Hi,

I had the same issue with date pickers. 

I got a solution to it. I have written a custom method in C#

public void EnterDateOnWheel(IWebElement datePicker, string month, string date, string year)

        {

            Click(datePicker);

            _webDriver.SetContext("NATIVE_APP");

            _webDriver.FindElementsByClassName("UIAPickerWheel")[0].SendKeys(month);

            _webDriver.FindElementsByClassName("UIAPickerWheel")[1].SendKeys(date);

            _webDriver.FindElementsByClassName("UIAPickerWheel")[2].SendKeys(year);

            _webDriver.FindElementByPartialLinkText("Done").Click();

            _webDriver.SetContext("WEBVIEW_1");

        }

here firstly I am clicking on the date which will show the picker widget(if that is called)

change the view

interact with the wheels by sending the values

pressing done

and then going back to the webview

I hope it helps.

Cheers

Henit

I have the same issue but it only reproduces if picker have two or more wheels, the value of wheel changes only once and then the error above is thrown.  

[sebv]

Please post full log (from start to crash) in a link, I've been trying to repro and it seems work fine, will add a unit test moving several picker wheels.
