can you try the answer once from here : #36497986 – Pairoar

driver.findElement(By.Xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'REGISTER')]").click(); – Montague

Not Work @AmitJain – Ranson

Not Work @Pairoar – Ranson

have you tried using explicit screen coordinates ? It isn't a very elegant way, but It will work – Autostability

@rusito explicit screen coordinates is fine but i can't run same test case in other phone. – Ranson

@MitulParekh maybe using partial coords ? here is a link i found discuss.appium.io/t/… – Autostability

Sorry @rusito23, it's still not working – Ranson

@MitulParekh - is it possible to share the name of your app I want to try it at my end ??? I will download app from playstore – Montague

Answer 1

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("element id here"));
Point point = element.getLocation();

//you can change follwing point based on your link location
int x = point.x +1;  
int y = point.y + element.getSize().getHeight() - 1;

new TouchAction(driver).tap(x, y).perform();

I find this solution here in appium discussion

Cranwell

try to change the value of x and y using x=point.x+20; or try to inspect using uiAutomatorViewer to know your element boundary and use the relative value of x and y to that element. – Cranwell

element boundary coordinates is fine but i can't run same test case in other phone – Ranson

Does that code work on your device? If that codes run in your device, you can check it on small screen device and large end device and write generic code to support all device. – Cranwell

Answer 2

I usually try to avoid XPATH in my tests, hence to search for Elements by Text I am doing something like this, which will return a By element to be used in the webdriver interaction.

public static By byText(final String text)
{
    switch (Configuration.getInstance().getPlatform())
    {
        case ANDROID:
            // This requires a UiAutomator2 test driver:
            return MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator("new UiSelector().text(\"" + text + "\")");
        case IOS:
        default:
            throw new RuntimeException("not implemented");
    }
}

Unfortunately I don't know the equivalent to iOS just now, but it should also be possible somehow ;)

Answer 3

Use this simple code

JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
