How to get text of specific element - Xamarin UI Test

Question

I have:

[TextView] id: "MonthValue" text: "11"

I want to get text as String of id MonthValue

Answer 1

Just use the query's Text property:

app.Query(c => c.Id("MonthValue").Text

Reference: https://developer.xamarin.com/api/property/Xamarin.UITest.Queries.AppResult.Text/

Answer 2

Want to update Jim's answer. app.Query return an array, so we can not use app.Query(c => c.Id("MonthValue")).Text as itself. We should use app.Query(c => c.Id("MonthValue"))[0].Text for example
