Appium 1.2: In Android, How to click on native app button that only has text, class and package?

[Saimadhu G]

Hi,

I am clicking on the native button, we can see the button pressed. But the next screen is not coming up when clicked through automation.

If clicked manually it is working.

Environment:

---------------------

Appium 1.2

Java-client 1.6.1

button properties:

-----------------------------------

index: 2

text: Done

class: android.widget.Button

content-desc:

package: com.Android.CAMDM

resource id:

checkable: false

checked: false

clickable: true

enabled: true

focusable: true

focused: false

scrollable: false

long-clickable: false

is password: false

selected: false

Code snippet to click on  button:

-------------------------------------------------------

try{

//In the page only 1 button with text Done is present. click on Done button

List<WebElement> buttons =driver2.findElementsByClassName("android.widget.Button");

WebElement b1 = buttons.get(0);

String text = b1.getText();

WebElement button1=driver2.findElement(By.name(text));

boolean x = button1.equals("android.widget.Button");

boolean y = button1.isEnabled();

button1.click();

b1.click();

} catch (Exception e){

System.out.println(e);

}

Also, tried to click as below:

-----------------------------------------

try{

WebElement button1=driver2.findElement(By.name("Done"));

button1.click();

// button1.sendKeys("\n");

} catch (Exception e){

System.out.println(e);

}

public static DesiredCapabilities setDeviceCap() {

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "Appium");

//

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "Android");  

capabilities.setCapability("appium-version", "1.2.1.0");

// capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "sony-c6602-BX903J4SHE");

capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "mdmqa");

capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");

capabilities.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", "6000");

capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "4.4.2");

// capabilities.setCapability("app", "D://Desktop//MDM//GEN07112954E//GEN07112954E//Clients//Android//CAMDM.apk");

capabilities.setCapability("app", "C://Users//ganma05//Desktop//Appium//q2sp1//CAMDM.apk");

capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.Android.CAMDM");

capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.Android.Afaria.Afaria");

return capabilities;

}

My first guess would be that your app is catching a different event. Click vs. long click vs. touch, etc. I would experiment with that avenue. You could try using the TouchAction API and tap, for instance.

Thanks Isaac for the reply. I did touch action apis, but still the same problem.

We debugged in our apk file and found there is a == comparison to compare 2 charsequences for the button name clicked.

After changing toString and equal comparison, now automation (click, tap, longclick) and manual both are working.

Still not sure why it was working with manuallly but not with automation.

Thanks
