Can you post screenshot of Appium desktop?

I tried clicking Solve button with XPath, resource id and all other ways but couldn’t click it just because it is part of recycler view

MrZigaS 2018-09-10 13:50:04 UTC #5

Do you get an error? (If so, please post it here)

Also, why is there a recycler view? Is that needed?

999sahrahul 2018-09-10 14:11:59 UTC #6

No, I don’t get any error.Appium stops for few seconds and then at the end it displays “No such element exception” in eclipse. And yes recycler view is needed. Please guide me I am stuck in due to this since five days

Just giving the resource id should work

999sahrahul 2018-09-10 14:24:42 UTC #8

I have tried that also but it is not working. First I tried with resource id only.

did you try to click that button using Appium Desktop? Maybe that helps to drill down the root.

Can you share the xpath which you tried?

999sahrahul 2018-09-11 13:14:10 UTC #15

driver.findElementByXPath("/hierarchy/android.widget.FrameLayout/android.widget.LinearLayout/android.widget.FrameLayout/android.widget.LinearLayout/android.widget.FrameLayout/android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout/android.widget.FrameLayout/android.widget.LinearLayout/android.widget.FrameLayout[2]/android.support.v4.view.ViewPager/android.view.ViewGroup/android.widget.ScrollView/android.widget.LinearLayout/android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView[1]/android.widget.FrameLayout/android.widget.LinearLayout/android.widget.TextView[3]").click();

I simply copy pasted from Appium desktop. But the issue is still there. It is unable to click.

("//android.widget.TextView[@text=‘SOLVE’]")

Can you try this xpath? Adjust the single and doubt quotes in your IDE

ask your dev to add a unique value in the content-desc and try to locate that element. Hope that works
