how to handle alerts in android using appium

Question

How do I handle alerts in an Android web application using Appium server (1.0.1) and the Android SDK?

The below code is not working on android:

drive         


        

Answer 1

// first check alert is present or not

public boolean isAlertPresent() {
    try {
        mobDriver.switchTo().alert();
        log.info("ALERT IS PRESENT !! ");
        return true;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        log.info("ALERT IS NOT PRESENT !! ");
        return false;
    }
}

public void mobileAlertHandle() {
    if (isAlertPresent()) {
        Alert alert = mobDriver.switchTo().alert();
        alert.accept();
   }
}

if this does not work then inspect your element and try with id or name

ex: mobDriver.findElementById("android:id/button2").click()

Answer 2

The best way is to use the appium inspector. Click on the element and copy the resource-id from it. Use this resource id in findElement(By.id()) method.

For me resource-id: android:id/button1

((AndroidDriver) driver).findElement(By.id("android:id/button1")).click();

This is for Android. For regular use you can use

driver.findElement(By.id("android:id/button1")).click();

Answer 3

So an updated answer on this is this: an AlertDialog is a system level element, so clicking on accept button you should use:

androidDriver.findElementById("android:id/button1").click()

else for cancel do this:

androidDriver.findElementById("android:id/button2").click()

Answer 4

Please use the below code, Add some wait before clicking on OK Button. After that pass the xpath of you OK Button.

synchronized (driver)
{
driver.wait(2000);
}
driver.context(NATIVE_APP);
driver.findElementByXPath{("//android.widget.Button[@resourceid=
‘android:id/button1’]").click();

Answer 5

You need to get the Alert before you try and accept it

This is code from some of the Appium Java Client Tests:

wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept();

This should work most of the time.

If accept() isn't working, replace the driver.switchTo().alert(); and alert.accept(); with code to find the button and then click it.

If it's not finding the button wrap findElementBy(Method) code in a try/retry block, and then click on it.

Answer 6

Appium comes with a default capability to accept, dismiss alerts

capabilities.SetCapability("autoAcceptAlerts", true);
capabilities.SetCapability("autoDismissAlerts", true);
