Appium cannot search element by resource id

I have trying to create a automation script for an android application using appium. I am trying to select an element and perform a click operation using the following code.

MobileElement loginElt = (MobileElement)driver.findElementById("ca.*******.bond:id/menu_item_sign_in");

Where ca.********.bond:id/menu_item_sign_in is the resource id.

The problem is that appium is not able to search for the resource id although it is available via the uiautomator.

Solution

  • Just add .click();

    and eliminate the app ID

    driver.findElementById("menu_item_sign_in").click();
