Get Content-description

By using get_attribute() method we can get the content description of any mobile element.

First we need to create a variable for the mobile element and assign it to find element method using any locator type.

Now using variable name call get_attribute() method and pass argument as “content-desc", Store the data in any variable and use it for required operation.

Syntax : 

ele_id = driver.find_element(AppiumBy.ID,"com.skill2lead.appiumdemo:id/EnterValue")
ele_id.get_attribute("content-desc")

Example : In the below example we are launching the app on an Android device and get the content-description of the button using the ID locator.

  • Launch the App on an Android device.
  • Get the content-des of the button using ID locator
  • Wait for 2 seconds
  • Close the App

Get_Content_des.py

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

# 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)

ele_id = driver.find_element(AppiumBy.ID,"com.skill2lead.appiumdemo:id/EnterValue")

# Step 3 : Get the content description of the button using ID locator
print("Content Description of a element :", ele_id.get_attribute("content-desc"))

time.sleep(2)
driver.quit()
