Are you switching from the NATIVE_APP context to the WEBVIEW context before trying to interact with the web page?

No, i am not switching

I tried driver.getcontext(), but still it is displayed 'NativeApp' only

You might need to work with your development team to ensure that WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true) is set in the version of the android app you are working with. If this is not set to, most production versions of apps are set to false, then you will not be able to see the webview.

You will need to switch contexts between the two in a hybrid app.

Do I need discuss with Android developer or that webpage developer??

The Android app developer.

ask developer to add "setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled" flag for webView when app in debug mode.

even after enabled the option also, displayed native app for web page... what is the further action that i can do???

small update, When I open my app, there is a checkbox, i will check and then click on Continue, at that time,a web page will open in native app itself, it will not direct to any browser web page

so, I am unable to handle that page

Same page in Web I can find id, name, xpath and I used in Webdriver. But same page coming to mobile, there is no control to handle the page

Hi , Ravikiran, I got the same problem with you.
Dev told me that it is pure Native app, once log in, it will reach to the web browser page and I am not able to see the webview when print ‘self.driver.current_context’.
it just shows the [NATIVE_APP]
