Click on text not working about robotium HOT 19 CLOSED

What happens if you do something like this:

for (TextView textView : solo.getCurrentTextViews())
Log.d("Robotium_TAG", "textView: " + textView.getText());

Do you see the text view displaying "show" in the log?

Thanks for following up so quickly. Strangely, only the top textview is returned when executing that code. The views are laid out as follow (simplified for reading)

<LinearLayout
<LinearLayout
<ScrollView




<LinearLayout
<ScrollView

Interesting. If they are shown on the screen then you should have access to them. Would it be possible for you to send me this application or one that displays this problem?

@renasreda: Sorry, but I haven't been able to spend the time to narrow this down to a small example for you. I'll see what I can do. Have you by any chance tried constructing a similar view to see if you can reproduce the problem?

Thanks for all of your work!

Jegan your error is different. The reason for your problem is that you are trying to click on a text view that is not visible on the screen. Probably you have two text views displaying the same text were only one is visible. Use clickLongOnText(String text, int match) instead. Where the match would be 2 or possibly higher depending on how many text views you have that display the same text.

I am having similar problem. I'm trying to click on text that is in a spinner list, and the logs show that Robotium cannot find the item on the list. It seems if there is only alpha number characters, clickOnText works. But if there is non alpha number, it doesn't.

I'm trying to step thru a spinner list with the following items..

None (PCM)
PCMA
AMR (6.50 kbps)
AMR (14.25 kbps)

PCMA is the only item on the list that will work with ClickOnText. All the rest do not work. I've had examples where spaces were in text items, so maybe it's the other characters that are making the method not work?

Albert, the reason for your problem is that ( and ) are interoperated as regular expressions. Use // before the ( and ).

I believe renasreda means , (two back slashes, not forward slashes.)

Sorry about that, it should be two back slashes. Thanks for that Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

I am not able to reproduce this problem. If you can not send me an app that displays this problem then I will have to close this issue.

Hi
Sorry for my english. I'm Italian. Could you tell me how select a not visible spinner on the screen with robotium?

The spinner isn't in focus. It's clickable but not visible because it's out the screen.

Thanks

To be able to click it needs to be shown on the screen.

Hi reanasreda
I am having the same issue too, I see my text right in front of me and my test is not able to click it, i tried using ClickLongonText but that didn;t work too.
I thought of using an assertTrue method and check if I can search for that text and that case failed too...

I keep getting the assertionFailed error.
Any help is appreciated
