AndroidViewClient - can't getXY() coordinates

Question

I'm running AndroidViewClient and am able to dump a complete hierarchy, but things fail when I try to getXY() or touch(). Even the solution from Get Current Focused Window Name using AndroidViewClient gives me an error.

  kwargs1 = {'verbose': True, 'ignoresecuredevice': True}
  kwargs2 = {'startviewserver': True, 'forceviewserveruse': True,
             'autodump': False, 'ignoreuiautomatorkilled': True}
  device, serialno = ViewClient.connectToDeviceOrExit(**kwargs1)
  vc = ViewClient(device, serialno, **kwargs2)
  view = vc.dump(window='-1')
  widget = vc.findViewByIdOrRaise("id/no_id/5")
  widget.useUiAutomator = False
  print widget
  # Up until here runs no problem.
  print widget.getXY() # fails.
  widget.touch() # also fails.

My stack trace goes something like:

print widget.getXY()

RuntimeError: ERROR: ''

Any thoughts?

Why are you forcing ViewServer use (`'forceviewserveruse': True`)? API 23 should use `uiautomator`. — Diego Torres Milano, May 05 '16 at 13:48
Aah, because elsewhere in the program, I am also getting the window name and I reach an error: Exception: Not implemented yet: listing windows with UiAutomator. But I can get around that :) — leeeroy jenkins, May 05 '16 at 15:40
@DiegoTorresMilano Could you explain why this is tagged as android-uiautomator? This question is highly specific to AndroidViewClient and doesn't seem relevant to users of the UI Automator library (even though AndroidViewClient is built on top). — Allen Hair, May 05 '16 at 21:57
@AllenHair it is related to UiAutomator because it's a problem that only happens if UiAutomator is not used as a back-end. — Diego Torres Milano, May 05 '16 at 22:38

widget = vc.findViewByIdOrRaise("id/no_id/5")
widget.useUiAutomator = False
widget.getXY() 
x = (str)widget.windows[widget.currentFocus] 
print x

Above code will get the Display Activity name and height and width of the screen,if u want only height and width refer below one

h = device._AdbClient__getDisplayHeight("")
w = device._AdbClient__getDisplayWidth("")
print (str)(h)
print (str)(w)
