Android - Views

Maestro fully supports native Android apps. Maestro tests can also run on real hardware devices.

Interacting with views by text

Any view with a text property can be tapped on:
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World" />
Can be tapped in the following way:
tapOn: Hello World

Interacting with views by id

Views can be accessed by their ids. For example:
<Button
android:id="@+id/myButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World" />
Can be tapped in the following way:
- tapOn:
id: myButton

Interacting with views by contentDescription

contentDescription field is surfaced as text property and can be interacted in the same way as any view containing text:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="Hello World" />
This view can then be tapped using the following command:
- tapOn: Hello World
