Appium automate a select an item from list

Question

I am working in appium and My app is a hybrid app it is coded with angular js.

I have scenario to automate. A page opens liks select date -> today, tomorrow and pick a date

<div class="item item-divider">
                <p>Select Date</p>
            </div>
<button class="button button-block button-light">Today</button>

<button class="button button-block button-light">Tomorrow</button>

<button class="button button-block button-light">Pick a date</button>

If I enter the date today How to automate this ?

Answer 1

You are getting this because of the classname used. Try the code below to get all textviews elements

List<WebElement> textViews = driver.findElements(By.Xpath("//*[conatains(@class,'button-block'));

for (WebElement textView : textViews)

    System.out.println( textView.getText());

Answer 2

Another alternative would be to find elements by class name and then iterate through the list. You may do something like this

boolean todaysDateFound = false;

List <WebElement> days = DRIVER.findElements(By.className("button button-block button-light"));

    for (int i = 0; i < days.size(); i++) {
            if (days.get(i).getAttribute("name").equals("Today")) {
                todaysDateFound = true;
                days.get(i).click;
                break;
            }
    }

If you want to make this smarter and decide what to pick based on user input, then you can use a Select..Case statement as well
