Inspected Element. Tried finding element in code by various ways. But nothing is working. Please suggest what should be the xpath for editing the PIN number in app

1. android.view.view class has multiple elements, resource id and text is null.
2. Only 1 element with class android.widget.editText. But that also doesnt work.

Attached the tree which i am trying to write the code for

UIAutomatorTree

Below is the xpath which i tried

driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.FrameLayout//android.view.View[@index='3']//android.widget.EditText")

Answer 1

That's not answering the question but may help if you have access to the source code. setContentDescription method helps to deal with such problems, it has to be defined in XML which helps not only with accessibility but also during any UI testing. Even when you have an ID/text it may be a situation when multiple views have similar text and/or ids

In your case - dividing elements in the XPath should be done with one slash "/" Here is an example

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.FrameLayout[1]/android.view.View[3]/android.widget.EditText[0]"));

Answer 2

In your XPath expression, you are trying to get all <android.widget.FrameLayout[1]> elements. Looking to your xml, the only elements your document has is one <hierarchy> and multiple <node> elements. That's why you don't get any results.

Assuming you are coding in C#, try something like this:

driver.findElementByXPath(@"//node[@class = ""android.widget.EditText""]));

• With the @ you tell the compiler to use string literals, so you don't need to escape characters.
• //node returns all the <node> elements in the current xml document.
• [@class = ""android.widget.EditText""] tells your XPath expression you need elements with a class attribute with a value that equals "android.widget.EditText".
• The double quotation is needed so Visual Studio recognises "android.widget.EditText" as a string value.

Note that using // isn't a very efficient way of querying the xml. Always try to avoid it and narrow you XPath expression. A nice XPath examples list \\ cheat sheet from Microsoft here . It should help you accomplish this.
