Appium Android Automation

Question

This may be simple question for the experts. I am a beginner in appium and all these days i have been trying to make my test script for printing a page title in my script. Here is the part of My code below: i am unable to print the page title and then do a validation. Can someone help?

driver = new AndroidDriver<WebElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
      System.out.println(driver.getRemoteAddress()); 
}

public void ApkPushValidation() throws Exception {

Assert.assertEquals("Verify your phone number", driver.findElementByName("Verify your phone number").getText());

    driver.wait(5000);
    String i = driver.getTitle();
    System.out.println(i);


if (driver.getTitle().equals("Verify your phone number") ) {

    System.out.println("app installation is passed");

} else {

System.out.println("App installation is failed");

}

//System.out.println(i);---> my expectation is that this will print out Verify your Phone number. However this is not printing the page title.

Use UIAutomatorViewer to find out the xpath of the title.

use the following website for example on how to use the x-path. "http://software-testing-tutorials-automation.blogspot.ca/2015/10/ui-automator-viewer-get-android-app.html"

I think that driver.getTitle() is a method for Web page interaction, not meant for Native apps. I would suggest to use XPath or some other element locator to find the title.

Are you saying that adding a driver.wait before find element by name?. If yes then it also did not work. I am getting below console error after running: – Manchester_United_Code Oct 19 '15 at 12:12

The log you provided is confirming my suspicion. This method is not intended for use yet. – Kristaps Mežavilks Oct 19 '15 at 12:31
Thanks @Kristaps Mezavilks.As you rightly said getTitle() method is not yet implemented. – Manchester_United_Code Oct 21 '15 at 11:45

Instead if getTitle(); try to use xPath, name or Id available for the title. Use Appium inspector or UI automator to locate that element and change it like this:

String i = driver.findElementById("Your ID").getText();
if (i.equals("Verify your phone number") ) {
    System.out.println("app installation is passed");

} else {

System.out.println("App installation is failed");

}

What you probably what to perform should be done using the following piece of code :

WebElement title = driver.findElementByName("Verify your phone number"); // defining the element only once for multiple use
// different locator strategies could be used for locating the element above

Assert.assertEquals("Verify your phone number", title.getText());  
driver.wait(5000);
String i = title.getText();
System.out.println(i);    
if (i.equals("Verify your phone number") ) {
    System.out.println("app installation is passed");
} else {
    System.out.println("App installation is failed");
}

More on driver.getTitle() : It has been inherited from RemoteWebDriver and possibly should return the title of a webpage/webview instead of an native application view which seems to be your case.

Note: would add more to this about getTitle() as I get to know.
