Hi friends

just rebuilt the apk by adding below line to enable the Webview in the apk .

webview.setEnabled(true);

Now,it will list both Native and WebView for HybridAndroid App

Hi Antony,

The above property mentioned, the app which I am automating is using third party's web view HTML page which is used for payment options, so this property setting true or false in not under our control, this is what the statement I heard by my Dev team, could you please suggests any other way to do it, I have completely blocked with this.

Hi Sumumar_m did you got any update on it or can anyone please help me how can i get WEBVIEW for application implemented in Ionic framework in crosswalk I tried the patch but even that time it is not able to identifies element using xpath.
