Identifying the MobileElement by “id ” which is a unique parameter. It takes String as an argument. If an element isn't identified it throws an exception as No Such Element Exception.

ID Locator

Let us see how to click on the button using the ID locator value.

Example: In the below example we are launching the app on an Android device and clicking on a button using id locator.

  • Launch the App on an Android device.
  • Click on the button using ID locator
  • Wait for 2 seconds
  • Close the App

ByID_Locator.py

from appium import webdriver
import time
from appium.webdriver.common.appiumby import AppiumBy

# Step 1 : Create "Desired Capabilities"
desired_caps = {}
desired_caps['platformName'] = 'Android'
desired_caps['automationName'] = 'UiAutomator2'
desired_caps['platformVersion'] = '10'
desired_caps['deviceName'] = 'Pixel3XL'
desired_caps['app'] = ('/Skill2Lead/Appium_Demo_App/Android/Android_Appium_Demo.apk')
desired_caps['appPackage'] = 'com.skill2lead.appiumdemo'
desired_caps['appActivity'] = 'com.skill2lead.appiumdemo.MainActivity'

# Step 2 : Create "Driver object"
driver = webdriver.Remote("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub", desired_caps)

# Step 3 : "Click on the button using ID locator value"
ele_id = driver.find_element(AppiumBy.ID,"com.skill2lead.appiumdemo:id/EnterValue")
ele_id.click()

# Step 4 : Wait for 2 seconds
time.sleep(2)

# Step 5 : Close the driver object
driver.quit()
