Appium: Android Resource ID: translates to what in their selenium integration?

Question

So for example I have:

wd.findElement.By(name("searchBttn"));

the resource-id in the ui xml screen cap is com.aut.android:id/searchBttn

and Appium can't find the item. I have tried with ID and Name. Is there something else here i could try is there a direct line for line correlation list somewhere that i am missing?

Answer 1

You can find an Android item in Appium by Resource ID, but you have to specify the entire package name along with the resource id:

wd.findElement.By(id("com.aut.android:id/searchBttn"));
