RemoteWebElement can not be cast to io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidElement

Shivaji_Ghadge 2017-08-16 06:25:28 UTC #1

Hi I am getting below error -
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.ClassCastException: org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebElement cannot be cast to io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidElement
at Base.main(Base.java:12)

I am using -
java-client-5.0.0-BETA9
appium v1.6.5.

Here is a snipped code

    import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidElement;
import io.appium.java_client.remote.MobileCapabilityType;
import java.io.File;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
public class TestOne {

	public static AndroidDriver<AndroidElement> Capabilities() throws MalformedURLException {
	 AndroidDriver<AndroidElement>  driver;
	 File appDir = new File("src");
     File app = new File(appDir, "ApiDemos-debug.apk");
     DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
     capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "Nexus");
     capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, app.getAbsolutePath());
     driver = new AndroidDriver<>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
	 return driver;
	}

}

base.java

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidElement;

public class Base extends TestOne {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
		AndroidDriver<AndroidElement>driver=Capabilities();
		driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
		driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.TextView[@text='Preference']").click();
	}

}

Please help me to resolve this issue.

instead of specifying a type , just leave AndroidDriver generic like below

AndroidDriver<?>

Shivaji_Ghadge 2017-08-16 06:52:36 UTC #3

By keeping AndroidDriver generic getting below error.

Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebElement.execute(RemoteWebElement.java:275)
at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebElement.click(RemoteWebElement.java:82)

can you share the modified code and full stacktrace

Aleksei 2017-08-16 09:06:13 UTC #5

@Shivaji_Ghadge try to change:

 AndroidDriver<AndroidElement>driver=Capabilities(); -> driver = Capabilities();

hmm , can’t find anything wrong in the code ,
Can you check SDK path is set , ANDROID_HOME environment variable is added , since you are passing apk , aapt is required to extract app package and launch activity.

please share full stacktrace and server log as well .

Looks all fine from log… are you still getting NullPointer exception ? may be surrounding code with try catch will help to nail down the problem .

Shivaji_Ghadge 2017-08-16 11:52:45 UTC #10

No Error in console if we put it into try-catch block.

But driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.TextView[@text=‘Preference’]").click(); does not click on this element.
On emulator application get opened but not clicking on xpath element.
Can you please tell me how to varify element is present on the screen. Thanks

@harigovind

By putting code into try catch as below
package co;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;

public class Base extends TestOne {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
		try {
			AndroidDriver<?>driver=Capabilities();
			driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
			driver.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("text(\"Preference\")").click();
			//driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.TextView[@text='Preference']").click();
		}
		catch (Exception e) {
			 System.out.println(e.getMessage() );
		}
	}
}

I am getting “null” value in cansole.
Can you explain me it.
Thanks

Is this issue with elements? or something else ?

@Shivaji_Ghadge
do not use CLICK use TAP instead.

    public boolean tapElement(MobileElement element) {
        try {
            new TouchAction((MobileDriver) driver).press(element).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(70)).release().perform();
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

harigovind 2017-08-17 07:09:19 UTC #17

should try @Aleksei s suggestion , clickable is false from UI

Shivaji_Ghadge 2017-08-17 07:11:54 UTC #18

After lots of R&D came across main issue…
Exact issue is with library earlier i was using
java-client-5.0.0-BETA9
client-combined-3.5.0-nodeps.jar

Now i have changed it to

java-client-1.2.1.jar
selenium-server-standalone-2.37.0.jar

Aleksei 2017-08-17 07:17:26 UTC #19

@Shivaji_Ghadge i am using same “5.0.0-BETA9” with latest appium 1.6.6-beta4 and same ApiDemos with 0 problems
more over if you want automatically scroll to any menu item (there are some menus in client that are outside the screen) inside ApiDemos here is example:

    public Boolean tapCellByTitle(String title) {
        List<AndroidElement> elementList = driver.findElements(MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator(
                "new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().resourceIdMatches(\".*id/list\")).setMaxSearchSwipes(5).scrollIntoView("
                        + "new UiSelector().text(\"" + title + "\"))"));
        if (elementList.isEmpty())
            return false;
        else
            return tapElement(elementList.get(0));
    }

Oops Let me try thanks

Shivaji_Ghadge 2017-08-17 07:25:51 UTC #21

@Aleksei can you please copy paste your code here. It will help me to get out from this.
