Trying to locate the element in mobile app.

` public class Ovex { private static AndroidDriver driver;

public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, InterruptedException {


     DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
     capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");
     capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Glaxy S7 edge");
     capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "8.0.0");
     capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
     capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.ovex_rn");
     capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.ovex_rn.MainActivity");



     driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
     driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS) ;
     driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.TextView[contains(text(), 'Markets']")).click();

    // driver.quit();

} `

Here is path from UI AUtomator Click link to view Xpath from UIAutomator

At this line debugger shows an error and display these error messages:

  • Does the XPath get the correct element when you try it manually? And are you trying to click just after the page has been loaded? – StevieBruce Jan 30 '19 at 16:30
  • Can you attach the locator hierarchy for the given element, you be easier to find the xpath of the element ? – Sameer Arora Jan 30 '19 at 16:32
  • Appium does not use tag elements like you are attempting to use when the target is a native app. TextView should almost certain be `android.widget.TextView` – Bill Hileman Jan 30 '19 at 16:37
  • I should add that you should show more of your code, as I can't tell if you're even using the correct webdriver, etc. – Bill Hileman Jan 30 '19 at 16:39
  • @BillHileman I have updated the code. – Muneeb Akhtar Jan 31 '19 at 08:33
  • @SameerArora I have attached the UIAutomator Screenshot in "Click link to view Xpath from UIAutomator" link – Muneeb Akhtar Jan 31 '19 at 08:45
  • @MuneebAkhtar i have posted the answer, please check that. Let me know if it works. – Sameer Arora Jan 31 '19 at 08:52
  • @SameerArora i tried it in try catch ` try { driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.TextView[@text='Markets']")).click(); } catch(Exception e) { System.out.println("Hello World"); }` here its doesn't show any error in console that's mean code is correct. . but executed catch block. Find element path didn't executed. – Muneeb Akhtar Jan 31 '19 at 09:10
  • Can you check it by using contains ? and if that also doesn't work can you check that the element you are operating on is not in an iframe ? because then you need to switch to the iframe and then click on it. – Sameer Arora Jan 31 '19 at 09:19
  • @SameerArora it doesn't work with contain also. . Could you please tell me how you are saying with iframe. . I don't have idea about iframe. – Muneeb Akhtar Jan 31 '19 at 09:48
  • Can you tell me the app name and the page from which you are clicking this element, i will install it on my phone and then will help you – Sameer Arora Jan 31 '19 at 10:02
  • @SameerArora Actually it's an apk file. . where could i send you apk file? – Muneeb Akhtar Jan 31 '19 at 11:07
  • @MuneebAkhtar Send it to sameer98733@gmail.com – Sameer Arora Jan 31 '19 at 11:13
  • You don't show your driver declaration, only its initialization. Make sure you define it as `AppiumDriver` and alter the initialization to include empty ankle brackets after AppiumDriver – Bill Hileman Jan 31 '19 at 12:28

Please change the xpath to driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.TextView[@text='Markets']"); and if you want to use contains then use xpath like this: driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.TextView[contains(@text,'Markets')]");

You have used text() in xpath which works for web/mweb automation, in android app, @text works instead of text()
