There are many options to locate the element but the easiest way to locate an element is by its id. In webpages we can easily locate the element by its id but on mobile its very tricky to locate the element by id. I am automating an android app using appium and for inspecting elements i use ui automator viewer tool. The issue that i am getting while inspecting the element is that resource-id. MS UI Automation Framework (UIA) - (documentation overview here ) Tip: UIA is an accessibility framework for development purposes. It is a component of the larger CodedUI framework, but for legacy desktop applications it is sometimes easier to go directly to UIA and use the appropriate accessibility pattern to drive actions for UI controls. While taking the Device Screenshot (uiautomator dump) on UI Automator Viewer if you receive the below error. Just follow these steps, Open command prompt,Go to your bin folder inside tools folder of sdk location. Example: C: android-sdk android-sdk tools bin. Then in cmd type uiautomatorviewer and hit enter. It would immedialy open UI Automator Viewer. C: android-sdk android-sdk tools binuiautomatorviewer.

With 'UIautomatorviewer' you can inspect the UI of an android application to find out the hierarchy and view different properties (id, text) of the element. While executing automation scripts, Appium uses 'Uiautomatorviewer' to identify different properties of the object and use the properties to identify the required object.

- How to push images with appium on AWS device farm devices
I've created a code, that works for pushing images with appium locally on both android and iOS devices.the images are in the appium project's /src/main/resources/images folder
The problem is, that when this code runs on AWS I cannot find the images ( and don't know how/where to find them).
I've tried multiple ways to construct the basePath but so far with no success
- Appium IOS loading all page elements
Some test scenarios I run load elements such as tables and lists, according to the development team the loading behavior should be identical to that implemented in Android, making requests to populate the screen as the user scrolled down. But on screens only 5 elements should appear and the appium inspector detects all the elements.
Is there any capability we can pass so that it doesn't load that much data?
Ao carregar estes elementos todos o appium não consegue interagir com nenhum elemento na pagina, impedindo os fluxos de automação.
- Is there a way to setup up appium to start by the click of an app button
I've only been coding for a few months, so please bear with me. I have been working on an app and I'm trying to figure out how to run my appium script inside of an app that I am creating. From my App, I would like for there to be a simple button, that when a user clicks that button, the appium script starts to run. I'm able to run successful tests inside android studio, but cant figure out how to tie it all together and make the script start from a button click. I'm also super new to appium so I don't know all of its limitations also. I have been working primarily with Kotlin/Java in android studio.Thanks
- error in executing python code during appium testing
I am new to appium testing for real android devices. I am using python to run test cases. But I am facing errors while running a basic python code, like by just creating webdriver instance . I have attached the ss of error and also the python code.
I have set ANDROID_HOME and JAVA_HOME env variables, installed appium client package with webdriver , selenium etc in python also.
I have also checked all the requirements by running appium-doctor --android command and everything is fine, as I am also able to invoke the app using the start session in appium server. But unable to run a basic python code.
So if I could get any help please :) I am also using a mac.

- Whatsapp Web QR code Scanning using Appium Java
I have a company in-built web application that behaves similar to WhatsApp web. I need to link/scan using QR code of WhatsApp mobile application with company inbuilt web application using Appium with Java.
There is NO API information regarding QR code scanning in WhatsApp documentation which is causing trouble. There is documentation regarding APIs for WhatsApp business but not for normal WhatsApp.
I hope the above info is clear but let me be more clear as below.
A is a web application that has a QR code to scan
B is the WhatsApp Mobile application
Now I need to automate that using B application I should scan the QR code showing on A application using Appium with Java.
Could someone help with some suggestions or examples would be a great favor, please?
Thanks in advance.

- UI Automator Viewer not responsive
I can launch UI Automator Viewer but the UI doesn't allow mw to take screenshot 9UI is irresponsive).Any idea what is going on?
Note:
- I am working on MAC book pro and did an upgrade to Big Sur.
- After this update, I couln't launch Ui Automator Viewer. I followed this thread by changing my swt.jar (https://sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/46388/uiautomatorviewer-not-running-on-mac-big-sur)
- Can't open/launch 'uiautomatorviewer.bat'
- Uiautomatorviewer.bat removed from Android SDK?
I wanted to use the
uiautomatorviewer.bat
today, but when I clicked on it, it removed itself. This typically happens when there is an update to the file and somehow Android Studio recognizes this. Is thelayout inspector
now the replacement for theuiautomatorviewer
? Since the documentation still mentions the tool, e.g.https://developer.android.com/training/testing/ui-automator, I am not sure.There are still several versions of theuiautomator.jar
shipped with the Android-SDK,e.g. inAndroidSdkplatformsandroid-30
and inAndroidSdktoolslib
for instance.But of course, you can't directly invoke the JAR file, as certain dependencies (paths) are missing. I tried to use some olduiautomatorviewer.bat
, but can't place it intoAndroidSdktoolsbin
due to permission issues. Adjusting the paths would be a mess.I'd like to useuiautomatorviewer
over thelayout inspector
due to certain information, which I couldn't locate in the output of thelayout inspector
.OS: Windows 10
Android Studio: 4.2.2 including the latest SDK tools.
