Working with Android ListView

[Princy G]

Hi,

                Can anybody guide me on how to work with Android Listview.  I want to identify the total no of items/options available in the listview.

As per the screenshot, my Listview has 8 options.

so I used the below code to print the total no of items/options available in the listview.

List<WebElement> items=driver.findElements(By.xpath("ListView"));
System.out.println(items.size());

But it prints '0' as a response.

Kindly help me on  this. Thanks in advance

ListView is Tag Name not Xpath..  Find by Tag Name

For counting items, you can use xpath //ListView/TextView

Thanks Aniket and Anil. Now I’m able to get the no of items in the list view but I’m facing one more issue in that

My Listview has 11 items, initially it shows only 7 items in the screen, we are able to see the remaining 4 items only when we scroll down the list,

So when we get the items count using size() method, it prints the response as ‘7’ instead of 11.  Kindly let me know how to resolve this

Its better to scroll through the list till end of list, pick up some unique text from each listview item , put it in an Array/List and then fetch it's count/size

Hi Aniket,

Do you have any idea about how to detect that scroll has reached end of the list.

Thanks,
Princy.

I want to iterate through a list view in my project. Each cell is having a number of items in it like TextViews. For that i want to know the number of cells in the List view. I have tried the //ListView/LinearLayout. But it returns only one cell. Please help me to solve this.

In Android, elements in a ListView are not created until they're scrolled to. You'll need to scroll and periodically count the distinct new cells that appear. It's not easy to do, unfortunately.

Using appium_lib I do a hack for scroll like this. This is slow but reasonably reliable.

def self.soft_scroll(text,scrolls=1)
    scrolls.to_i.times do
      begin
        scroll_to text unless exists { s_text text }
      rescue Selenium::WebDriver::Error::NoSuchElementError
      end
    end
  end
