3. Use UIAutomatorviewer

When UIAutomatorViewer is opened, you can

  • Plug your usb on your smartphone

  • Click on button “Device screenshot”

  • A screen capture and a dump of view hierarchy appears on the screen

...

  • On screenshot (left), you can select the element for which you want to retrieve information and find it on the right:

...

  • In this case, the tab “Actu” have the field ‘text’ set with ‘Actu’. So in GDSL we can search the text Actu to find this tab (if there is no other element with the same text in the screen).

  • Each element of a view can be retrieve by field ‘text’, ‘resource-id’, ‘class’ or ‘content-desc’. GDSL commands are made to find an element by searching on this field

    • clickById,exampleid : click on an element which have exampleid in resource-id field

    • waitUntilText,Actu : Wait an element which have ‘Actu’ in text field
