Calabash android touch specific portion in a string

Question

I have a text view with message let's say "Only this portion of the message can be clicked",where "this portion" has a clickableSpan attached to it. Is there a way I can touch only on the portion which has clickable span in the message, to verify the next scenarios.

The text view looks like this:

[{"id"=>"message",
"enabled"=>true,
"contentDescription"=>nil,
"class"=>"com.xyz.mobile.android.view.WhitneyBookTextView",
"text"=>
 "Only this portion of the message can be clicked.",
"rect"=>{"center_y"=>934.5, "center_x"=>381.0, "height"=>67, "y"=>901, "width"=>598,"x"=>82},
"description"=>
 "com.xyz.mobile.android.view.WhitneyBookTextView{231r6178 VFED..CL ........ 42,0-640,67 #6f094a app:id/message}"}]

Is there a way it can be clicked?

touch(query("* id:'message'")) does not work.

Have you tried something like: tap_mark "this portion". I haven't tested your example so this is merely a suggestion. — Lasse, Sep 17 '14 at 12:36

Perhaps you could use the offset function, assuming that still works. On calabash for iOS you can do

touch("view marked:'First'", :offset => {:x => 50, :y => 0})

This will find the center of the view marked "First" and then touch 50 pixels to the right of it.

Will that help you, even it is ugly and hardcoded...

I wanted it for android. not ios. – Infant Dev Sep 18 '14 at 04:37
Yes but have you tried to use it? a lot of the commands works on both platforms. – Lasse Sep 18 '14 at 17:37

You could try touch(query("WhitneyBookTextView {text LIKE[c] '*this portion*'}")).

If that doesn't work, e.g. the tap still occurs at another spot, you could try adding an offset as Lasse has suggested.

Its a simple problem. You can either select a particular element based on its "id" or the "text" If the id : message is not used anywhere else then

touch("* id:'message'")

or

touch("android.view.WhitneyBookTextView id:'message'")

should work.
