Click on text not working about robotium HOT 18 CLOSED

What happens if you do something like this:

for (TextView textView : solo.getCurrentTextViews())
Log.d("Robotium_TAG", "textView: " + textView.getText());

Do you see the text view displaying "show" in the log? 

Thanks for following up so quickly.  Strangely, only the top textview is 
returned when executing that code.  The views are laid out as follow 
(simplified for reading)

<LinearLayout 
    <LinearLayout 
        <ScrollView
            <TextView />
        </ScrollView>
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/horizontalLine"/>
    <LinearLayout 
        <ScrollView
            <TextView />
        </ScrollView>
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout />
</LinearLayout>

Interesting. If they are shown on the screen then you should have access to 
them. Would it be possible for you to send me this application or one that 
displays this problem? 

I also had the same problem.I used method clickOnText() click on textview in 
single
choice dialog.but it can't be selected.

I also faced this problem ... I have two image button . In the middle i have 
text view ...Its clearly visible and it able to search the test also .. but it 
is not clickable ... My textview has  text and background image property .

@renasreda: Sorry, but I haven't been able to spend the time to narrow this 
down to a small example for you.  I'll see what I can do.  Have you by any 
chance tried constructing a similar view to see if you can reproduce the 
problem?

Thanks for all of your work!

I am getting this below error :

junit.framework.assertionfailederror: View is not visible and can therefore not 
be clicked 
in robotium file :
clicker.clickonscreen(clicker.java:152)
clicker.clickontext(clicker.java:285)
Solo.clicklongontext(clicker.java:717) ...

sorry ,i cant paste the full error code ,as it was exectued in test PC .

Jegan your error is different. The reason for your problem is that you are 
trying to click on a text view that is not visible on the screen. Probably you 
have two text views displaying the same text were only one is visible. Use 
clickLongOnText(String text, int match) instead. Where the match would be 2 or 
possibly higher depending on how many text views you have that display the same 
text.

I am having similar problem.  I'm trying to click on text that is in a spinner 
list, and the logs show that Robotium cannot find the item on the list.  It 
seems if there is only alpha number characters, clickOnText works. But if there 
is non alpha number, it doesn't. 

I'm trying to step thru a spinner list with the following items..

None (PCM)
PCMA
AMR (6.50 kbps)
AMR (14.25 kbps)

PCMA is the only item on the list that will work with ClickOnText. All the rest 
do not work.  I've had examples where spaces were in text items, so maybe it's 
the other characters that are making the method not work?

Albert, the reason for your problem is that ( and ) are interoperated as 
regular expressions. Use // before the ( and ).

I believe renasreda means \\, (two back slashes, not forward slashes.)

Sorry about that, it should be two back slashes. Thanks for that Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

I am not able to reproduce this problem. If you can not send me an app that 
displays this problem then I will have to close this issue. 

Not reproducable therefor will be closed.

Hi 
Sorry for my english. I'm Italian. Could you tell me how select a not visible 
spinner on the screen with robotium?

The spinner isn't in focus. It's clickable but not visible because it's out the 
screen.

Thanks

To be able to click it needs to be shown on the screen. 

Hi reanasreda
I am having the same issue too, I see my text right in front of me and my test 
is not able to click it, i tried using ClickLongonText but that didn;t work too.
I thought of using an assertTrue method and check if I can search for that text 
and that case failed too...

I keep getting the assertionFailed error.
Any help is appreciated

@Vivek, The activity needs to belong to the same process as the app under test.
