How to use WithTimeout class of io.appium.java_client.pagefactory package

You can use findElementByAndroidUIAutomator with different conditions like text,description:

((AndroidDriver<?>) appiumDriver).findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView(new UiSelector().textContains(\""+ text + "\").instance(0))");

waitAction method does not accept java.time.Duration duration it has to be passed using waitOptions as you have used in RIGHT case. Check waitOptions details here

Similarly moveTo and press accept PointOptions and directly coordinates cannot be passed.

    case LEFT:
        startY = (int) (size.height / 2);
       startX = (int) (size.width * 0.05);
        endX = (int) (size.width * 0.90);
        new TouchAction(driver)
                .press(PointOption.point(startX, startY))
                .waitAction(WaitOptions
                .waitOptions(Duration
                        .ofMillis(duration))
                .moveTo(PointOption.point(endX, startY))
                .release()
                .perform();

Some potential on this topic is contained over here. You can try creating a class of yours which includes an instance of NetworkConnectionSetting in the java-client of appium and set the flags accordingly by calling the built-in methods.

Try adding to your Desired Capabilities ("autoAcceptAlerts",true). It doesn't work perfectly but you should try it.

You can also try doing:

driver.findElement(By.name("OK")).click();

Hope this helps.

You should try regular expression using java.util.regex.Pattern and java.util.regex.Matcher. I have prepared a snippet that finds email ids from the given chunk of text.

    String text = "your account email associated with pankaj@gmail.com and he has emailed someone@gmail.com.";
    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("[\\w]+[\\d\\w]*(@)[\\w]+[\\w\\d]*(\\.)[\\w]+");
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
    while(matcher.find()){
        System.out.println(matcher.group());
    }

This should help.

None of the method that you are calling removes the app from background while using appium. This is what they refer to :

((AppiumDriver)driver).closeApp(); // Close the app which was provided in the capabilities at session creation   

((AppiumDriver)driver).close(); // from *RemoteWebDriver.java*, used to close the current browser page  

((AppiumDriver)driver).quit(); // quits the session created between the client and the server

so what you could possibly try and do is :

((AppiumDriver)driver).resetApp(); // Reset the currently running app for this session

OR try a combination of these two :

((AppiumDriver)driver).removeApp(<package name>); // Remove the specified app from the device (uninstall)
((AppiumDriver)driver).installApp(<path to apk>); // Install an app on the mobile device

According to the documentation on https://support.saucelabs.com/entries/51370580-Android-Desired-Capabilities you don't need the apk capability, but you need to include the "browserName" one.

So you should add:

capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "browser");

This might also need to be:

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "browser");

Here is the full example from their documentation when it comes to mobile web testing on Android:

self.desired_capabilities = {}
self.desired_capabilities['platformName'] = 'android'
self.desired_capabilities['platformVersion'] = '4.4'
self.desired_capabilities['browserName'] = 'browser'
self.desired_capabilities['deviceName'] = 'Android' 
self.desired_capabilities['appiumVersion'] = '1.2.2'

In Appium, to select immediate parent node, you need to provide /..

E.g. childElement Xpath = //android.widget[@text='name']

Parent Xpath expression: mobiledriver.FindElement(By.xpath("//android.widget[@text='name']/..").click

Found an alternative for using multiple conditions. I did more research on using locator strategies using multiple conditions, and found you can use xpath locators with className and id/resource-id. However, it would depend if the className tag remains the same along with the changes to resource-id. At the moment, my situation meets those conditions.

@AndroidFindBy(xpath="//android.widget.TextView[@resource-id='com.reddit.frontpage:id/search_view' or @resource-id='com.reddit.frontpage:id/toolbar_title']")
public MobileElement navTitle;
