AVC unable to find view by id even if parameter 'forceviewserveruse': is True,

i am trying to automate composing email using AndroidViewClient 5.1.1 . please find the code below :

kwargs1 = {'verbose': False, 'ignoresecuredevice': False}
kwargs3 = {'startviewserver': True, 'forceviewserveruse': True, 'autodump': False, 'ignoreuiautomatorkilled': True}
device1, serialno1 = ViewClient.connectToDeviceOrExit(serialno=device_id1, **kwargs1)
vc2 = ViewClient(device1, serialno1, **kwargs3)
vc2.dump()
device1.startActivity(component="com.android.email/com.android.email.activity.EmailActivity")
vc2.dump()
compose = vc2.findViewById('id/compose')
compose.touch()

AVC is unable to identify the compose view . please help

Solution

  • Using devices with Android API >= 19 and AndroidViewClient >= 5.3.1 you will be able to obtain the View ids.

    For example, if you use culebra to auto-generate the script 

    $ culebra -VC --start-activity='com.google.android.email/com.android.email2.ui.MailActivityEmail' -o myscript.py

    Then, myscript.py will contain

    #! /usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

    Notice this has been obtained by AndroidViewClient 5.4.4 as it fixes some indentation problem in auto-generated scripts.

    The Views are identified by the variable name created after their ids

    com_android_email___id_compose = vc.findViewByIdOrRaise("com.android.email:id/compose")

    Also notice the use of --start-activity to automatically start the Activity at the beginning of the script.
