Locating elements in Appium (Part b)

In the last post we discussed locating element using ID and in this post we will start to locate element of Android application using

• Class Name
• Accessibility ID
• ID

Here is the complete code for identifying control using different locators.

public class FirstAppiumTest {

	// Create instance for Appium Driver
	AppiumDriver driver;

	@BeforeClass
	public void Setup() throws MalformedURLException {

		DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
		cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "donatello");
		cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP_PACKAGE,
				"com.android.calculator2");
		cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP_ACTIVITY, "Calculator");
		// cap.setCapability("avd", "Test");

		driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(
				"http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), cap);

	}

	@Test
	public void SimpleTest() {

		// Click 5
		driver.findElementById("digit5").click();
		// Click 5
		driver.findElementById("digit6").click();
		// Click 5
		driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("plus").click();
		// Click 5
		driver.findElementById("digit9").click();
		// Click 5
		driver.findElementById("digit3").click();

		driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("equals").click();

		// Verify the result
		String result = driver
				.findElementByClassName("android.widget.EditText").getText();

		if (result.equals("149"))
			System.out.println("PASSED");
		else
			System.out.println("FAILED");

	}
}

As you can see from the above code, we have also used the getText() method to get the text out from a control and verified if the text is as expected. Here is the complete video for the above discussion Thanks for reading the post and watching the video !!!
