Finding and interacting with elements

Appium supports a subset of the WebDriver locator strategies such as:

  • find by “class” (i.e., ui component type)
  • find by “xpath” (i.e., an abstract representation of a path to an element,
    with certain constraints)

You can see a list of them in Selector Strategies

Appium additionally supports some of the Mobile JSON Wire Protocol locator strategies

  • -ios predicate string : a string corresponding to a recursive element search
    using the iOS Predicate (iOS 10.0 and above)
    • -ios uiautomation for iOS 9.3 and below
  • -android uiautomator: a string corresponding to a recursive element
    search using the UiAutomator Api (Android-only)
  • -android datamatcher: a string corresponding to an Espresso DataMatcher json (Android-only)
  • accessibility id: a string corresponding to a recursive element search
    using the Id/Name that the native Accessibility options utilize.

Finally, Appium supports several additional experimental locator strategies:

  • -image: a string corresponding to a base64-encoded version of an image which should be used by Appium as a template to find a matching screen region, which can then be tapped as if it were an element. For more information on this locator strategy, see the Finding Image Elements doc.
  • -custom: a string which will be sent to an element finding plugin registered via the customFindModules capability. For more information on this strategy, check out the Element Finding Plugin docs.

Issues

There’s a known issue with table cell elements becoming invalidated before
there’s time to interact with them. We’re working on a fix

Example

After launching Appium Desktop and starting a session, you can locate any element in the
source. In this test, I’m looking for the accessibility id of the “Compute Sum” button.

To find the accessibility id of this button, I click the “Compute Sum” button in the
screenshot. The element is then highlighted in the source tree. In the panel on the right,
I can see the accessibility id.
