is @AndroidFindBy not working?

[liqing380]

Env：
java-client:1.6.1
Appium:v1.2.0

1:Create class PageObjects

public class PageObjects {
 protected AppiumDriver driver;
 protected CmSelenium2 se2;
 protected CmReport cm;

 public PageObjects(AppiumDriver driver, CmSelenium2 se2) {
 this.se2 = se2;
 this.cm = se2.cm;
 this.driver = driver;
 PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
 }
 public PageObjects() {

 }
 public void initElements(AppiumDriver driver ) {
 this.driver = driver;
 PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);
 }
}

2:Create class FolderPage：

import com.mailtech.selenium2.CmSelenium2;
import com.mailtech.selenium2.pageobjects.PageObjects;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy;
import io.appium.java_client.pagefactory.AndroidFindBy;

public class FolderPage extends PageObjects {
 @AndroidFindBy(id="cn.mailtech.app:id/compose")
 public WebElement toMAIl;

 public FolderPage(WebDriver driver, CmSelenium2 se2) {
 super(driver,se2);
 }
}

3. my test code：

FolderPage folderPage=new FolderPage(driver,se2);
 folderPage.toMAIl.click();

error

PageFactory.initElements(driver, this); 

This invocation uses DefaultFieldDecorator (https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/java/client/src/org/openqa/selenium/support/pagefactory/DefaultFieldDecorator.java). It doesn't decorate fields marked by @AndroidFindBy or @iOSFindBy.

Please try this:

PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver), 
pageObject //an instance of PageObject.class
);

Getting Null Pointer Exception on line (String company = companyName.getText();)
even though i am using pagefactory
Problem with when i use (MobileElement companyName).

plz provide some solution, its blocker for me.

public LoginPage(AndroidDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver, 20,TimeUnit.SECONDS), LoginPage.class);
}

@AndroidFindBy(id ="com.octanner.android.performance:id/identityEditText")
 MobileElement companyName;

@AndroidFindBy(id ="com.octanner.android.performance:id/next_page_button")
@CacheLookup
MobileElement nextButton;

public void companyLogin(TestDataReader dataReader){
	try{
		companyName.sendKeys("xyz");
		
	}catch(Exception e){
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
}

@Anand093 can you open new issue instead of commenting on closed one ? This way your issue will get noticed and tracked properly

[narendra-chandratre]

@Anand093
Did you open or file any new issue in same regards? I am also facing NullPointer while accessing pageFactory elements. Pls share if you got any solution
Thanks in advance!

[Anand093]

@narendra-chandratre
I figured it out

Before using @AndroidFindBy in page object class write below lines. Hope it will solve your problem, plz let me know if it solves ur issue

public PageObjectClassName(AndroidDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver, 20,TimeUnit.SECONDS), this);
}

Note-> I am using appium 1.6.4

[narendra-chandratre]

Still failing :(
I am using Appium version 1.8.1, Java-Client version 6.1.0
On which versions its working for you? Can you share pls ?

[Anand093]

@narendra-chandratre
this is the pom dependencies & i am using appium 1.6.4

	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

[narendra-chandratre]

Appium 1.6.4 and all above dependancies are you able to run Page Objects and Page Factory comfortably for Android & iOS?

[Anand093]

@narendra-chandratre

Android, its working perfectly, ios i dint try

[narendra-chandratre]

Actually I am still trying to make it work but last hope is to downgrade the appium version :(
Thanks a lot @Anand093 for your quick help.

[Anand093]

@narendra-chandratre

Check with the 1.6.4 and mine pom dependencies, i think it should work, even i struggled with this alot, but finally it worked for me.

Below are few helps, if u can get anything out of it.

import statements

import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.pagefactory.AndroidFindBy;
import io.appium.java_client.pagefactory.AppiumFieldDecorator;

Capablities
static AndroidDriver androidDriver;
public Capablities(AndroidDriver androidDriver){
Capablities.androidDriver = androidDriver;
}

public static AndroidDriver getAppCapablities(String device, String ip){
try{
capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(DEVICE_NAME, device);
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, ANDROID);
capabilities.setCapability(PLATFORM_NAME, ANDROID);
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, VERSION_7_1_1);
capabilities.setCapability(APP_PACKAGE, YOUR APP PKG);
capabilities.setCapability(CLEAR_SYSTEM_FILES, true);
capabilities.setCapability(APP_ACTIVITY, YOUR ACTIVITY);
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.TAKES_SCREENSHOT, "true");
capabilities.setCapability(AUTO_ACCEPT_ALERT, true);
capabilities.setCapability(AUTO_DISMISS_ALERT, true);
capabilities.setCapability(ANDROID_EXPORTED, true);
capabilities.setCapability(NO_RESET, "true");
capabilities.setCapability(FULL_RESET, "false");
capabilities.setCapability(NATIVE_WEB_TAP, true);
// to hide android keyboard
capabilities.setCapability(UNICODE_KEYBOARD, true);
capabilities.setCapability(RESET_KEYBOARD, true);
capabilities.setCapability(NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, 120);
capabilities.setCapability(SESSION_OVERRIDE, true);
capabilities.setCapability(AVD, device);
androidDriver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(ip), capabilities);
androidDriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(MAX_TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

PageObject Class

public YourPageObjectClass(AndroidDriver driver) {
this.driver = driver;
PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver, 20,TimeUnit.SECONDS), this);
util = new ActionUtil(driver);
}

@AndroidFindBy(id = "")
@CacheLookup
MobileElement somButton;

Below is the test class from where you are trying to use page object class components.

driver = Capablities.getAppCapablities(device_name, IP2);
YourPageObjectClass= new YourPageObjectClass(driver);
