无法通过ID访问元素

Question

I am facing with problem when I tried to access Android element by ID in C#, I also tried with Appium-desktop version and seems not accessible for example:

I tried with and without package name and there is an exception every time which says could not find element. Also from Appium desktop selector.

AndroidElement selectPlant = driver.FindElementById("com.heidelbergcement.aom.stage.dev:id/loginForm-plantSelection")

Answer 1

You're misunderstanding something.

FindElementById refers to the unique identifier of the element which in most cases is the RuntimeId of the UI element.

What you should use is findElementByAccessibilityId , which refers to AutomationId of the UI element as shown in the inspect tool.

Total credit to this .
