Appium clicking dynamic list item

Question

I am trying to automate clicking the item of the dynamic scrollable list item containing specific text. The text of list item is getting using api call, it may/will be changed based on api response.

For example suppose i have 3 list item say apple, mango and banana. If i want to click on item that contain the text banana, how can i do that?

My Appium Desktop inspector my xml file for the dynamic list looks like following

<android.view.ViewGroup content-desc="Dashboard_lv_Container">
 <android.view.ViewGroup>
  <android.widget.ListView content-desc="Dashboard_lv">
   <android.widget.LinearLayout>
    <android.view.ViewGroup>
     <android.widget.FrameLayout content-desc="item_1">
      <android.view.ViewGroup>
       <android.view.ViewGroup>
          <android.widget.TextView>
       <android.view.ViewGroup>
          <android.widget.ImageView>
   <android.widget.LinearLayout>
    <android.view.ViewGroup>
     <android.widget.FrameLayout content-desc="item_2">
      <android.view.ViewGroup>
       <android.view.ViewGroup>
         <android.widget.TextView>
       <android.view.ViewGroup>
         <android.widget.ImageView>

I want to select the item with certain text contain in android.widget.TextView. How can i do that?

Answer 1

I solve it using the UiSelector

try {
     MobileElement element=driver.findElement(MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator("new UiSelector().text(\"banana\")"));
    element.click();
}catch (org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException e){
    System.out.println("Element not found");
}

For the scrollable list i did it using UiScrollable description

try {
     MobileElement element=driver.findElement(MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(\"new UiSelector().description(\"Dashboard_lv\")\").getChildByText(\"new UiSelector().text(\"banana\")\")"));
    element.click();
}catch (org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException e){
    System.out.println("Element not found");
}
