Calabash-Android loop through ListView

Question

I've written a feature:

Feature: Open List item

  Scenario: As a valid user I can open list item
    When I press list item number 0
    Then I do something...
    Then I go back

What I would need is to open every item of ListView (not only 0th), so how could I specify a loop that would in the end iterate through whole ListView, or some specified maximum index - ie. for parameter value 5 it should execute this scenario for 0th, 1th, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th item.

So, two questions: 1) How to create a loop? 2) How to parametrize execution

1. If you know the exact loop count, you can use scenario outline in cucumber.

Feature: Open List item

Scenario: As a valid user I can open list item
  When I press list item number <count>
  Then I do something...
  Then I go back

Examples:
| count |
| 1     |
| 2.    |
| ..    |
| n     |

More details about scenario outline: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Scenario-Outlines

Or

2. You can get count using query() & iterate using for each loop in ruby

For getting count query("view").count

Get the count.
Store it in variable
Loop it in step definition

Thanks, will try it out, and then accept the answer ;) – Milos Pesic Dec 11 '15 at 22:39 — Milos Pesic, Dec 11 '15 at 22:39
