What I have been doing in Python Appium for the last two years is stick to find_element_by_android_uiautomator when I have to use Xpath ordinarily. This has been pretty stable to me. Good luck.

Webdriverwait is based in seconds, not milliseconds, so 1000 is substantial actually. @Telmo_Cardoso, it breaks regardless of OR, unfortunately…even if I just look for a single element. I am beginning to think it is all the animations on screen that are causing it to crash.
I will give ‘android_uiautomator’ a try…assuming this will work with uiautomator2, correct?
@mayu Can you give me an actual example of a ‘find_element_by_android_uiautomator’ with a wait? thanks
As for example, I see: el = self.driver.find_element_by_android_uiautomator(‘new UiSelector().description(“Animation”)’)…but how can that be used in my case where I need Xpath as shown in my example in my original post??
Ok I got the following to work: element = self.driver2.find_element_by_android_uiautomator(‘new UiSelector().text(“From this device”)’)…but how can I add a wait until text is found condition? or wait until text is gone?
You can use a FluentWait
FluentWait fluentWait = new FluentWait<>(driver).withTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(waitTime)).pollingEvery(Duration.ofSeconds(1)).ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class)
return (MobileElement) fluentWait.until(webDriver -> ((AndroidDriver) driver).findElementByAndroidUIAutomator(query));Is fluentWait really available in Python biding? Unfortunately, in Python, I have been noticing that we do not have all the nice things that APPIUM Java binding offers. (I am sticking to Python because I like the language. )
Use EC right before your find_element_by_android_uiautomator call if you need to.
I just tried:
wait = WebDriverWait(self.driver2, 3000, poll_frequency=1, ignored_exceptions=[ElementNotVisibleException, ElementNotSelectableException])
element = wait.until(EC.invisibility_of_element_located((By.ID, “com.app.example:id/overAllProgressStop”)))
acting as a ‘fluent wait’, but we will see. Next I will try EC call before find by uiautomator.
Thanks guys
I can’t get it to work…@mayu can you please combine element = self.driver2.find_element_by_android_uiautomator(‘new UiSelector().text(“sample”)’) with an EC wait until element is visible (something like WebDriverWait(self.driver2,3000).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, “//android.widget.TextView[@text=‘sample’]”))))
I just want to look for a specific text on screen for 3000 seconds using find by uiautomator…
Use EC.visibility_of_element_located right before your find_element_by_android_uiautomator call. Two separate statements. Google has been doing a good job and uiautomator by itself alone handles element wait well. So if your screen is dynamic/complicated/long, then I suggest using EC.
Same issue is occurring with the above I was using…

Maybe two possibilities. Probably there is something special about this screen that is not allowing Appium to search the element. Or, maybe you are trying to do something in a loop? And you are ending up with a stale state? Hared to tell without looking at your app screen, wider range of your code and screen app source code.
