TOAST validation

[joaoclineu]

It is possible to do validation TOAST with Selendroid ?

[lukeis]

+1 my app also uses TOAST, but I haven't been able to identify / locate it yet

[joaoclineu]

This is a feature very important for validation

[lukeis]

It would be helpful if you could look at how TOAST displays its messaging, or if you solicit an android developer. It would be a good start to know how exactly TOAST works.

[joaoclineu]

The TOAST is an event that is sent from the execution of some other method. Toast is not a component part of the application layout. We need a method to visualize any text sent on the screen indepedente to be part of the layout or not. For example the the WAITFORTEXT robotium. But I do not know if this method has already Selendroid.

[lukeis]

I understand that it is not apart of the application layout... thus why you can't see it in the inspector. Do you know what the "some other method" is. If I can get that info, then I'll likely be able to figure something out to get the messages.

Are you able to find the TOAST, if you search in a loop for the text that is displayed?:
driver.findeElement(By.linkText("Enter Your Text of Toast");

[erbett]

I put the statement in loop. Selendroid couldn't be able to validate the toast. Element wasn't found.

while (driver.findElement(By.linkText("Campo(s) não preenchido(s).")).isDisplayed()==true){
System.out.println("Toast is shown");
}

[joaoclineu]

The command: driver.findeElement(By.linkText("Enter Your Text of Toast"); does not function.

Is there a way to solve this problem with the newest version of Selendroid?

[sreevatsa-ramya]

I too have this question as i have tried using linktext but things don't work. Please let know when this issue would be solved

[gourav999]

webElement x=driver.findelementby(by.xpath("//Button[@id='showToastButton']");
x.click();

Still unable to capture the toast message, Following is the console log output -

Finding the toast is in while loop. Please help me with this ASAP.

[tarifulcse]

Please use following code in your selendroid code

waitForElement(By.partialLinkText("Your Toast message"), 4, driver);

where first parameter is your toast message. Second parameter is Time duration in Seconds,third is driver.

We have a working e2e test covering this.

selendroid/selendroid-test-app/src/test/java/io/selendroid/nativetests/WaitForProgressBarGoneAwayTest.java

Lines 87 to 93 in 85b1f6d

	@Test
	public void shouldWaitUntilToastIsDisplayed() throws Exception {
	precondition();
	driver().findElement(By.id("showToastButton")).click();
	WebElement toast = waitForElement(By.linkText("Hello selendroid toast!"), 4, driver());
	Assert.assertNotNull(toast);
	}
