Just use the query's Text property:

app.Query(c => c.Id("MonthValue").Text

Reference: https://developer.xamarin.com/api/property/Xamarin.UITest.Queries.AppResult.Text/

Want to update Jim's answer. app.Query return an array, so we can not use app.Query(c => c.Id("MonthValue")).Text as itself. We should use app.Query(c => c.Id("MonthValue"))[0].Text for example

app.Query(c => c.Id("MonthValue").Text("11")) should do it

Yes, but I have to get this value, because I can change this value by +/- . sth what should work like: String x = app.Query(c => c.Id("MonthValue").getText()) – Żyli Nov 08 '16 at 07:50

AppResult has a Text property, so try app.Query(c => c.Id("MonthValue")).Text. https://developer.xamarin.com/api/property/Xamarin.UITest.Queries.AppResult.Text/ – JimBobBennett Nov 08 '16 at 13:25

I was also stuck in the same problem, though I got the solution via debug through Repl() command. Try to use with index position like this:

app.Query(c=>c.Id("NoResourceEntry-8"))[0].Text

similarly you can use class for same:

app.Query(c=>c.Class("LabelRenderer"))[0].Text

Query for Class("LabelRenderer") gave 2 results. So in the above example, you can see it gave you 2 results but you have to use index for a particular result.
