Hi Renas,

I'm testing a android Hybrid app, which has an index page consisting of native android headers and the rest of the page is a webview.

The webview has a "small div which is actually a carousel" that has some images in it.

How do i scroll(right to left and vice-verse) this div carousel with robotium?

I did trying using waitForWebElement(By by, int timeout, boolean scroll) but it couldn't help me out. And its not clear the scroll parameter , scrolls left,right,top or bottom.

Would be great if i get your valuable inputs on the same.

Thanks, Zaid

Hi, Unfortunately that is not possible. What you can do is to use solo.drag() and scroll that way.

Thanks Renas.

But still it did not work for me as I want to scroll a carousel under a webview.

Yet I have another issue , How do I hit an enter key in a TextBox which is housed under a WebView.?

I tried using this.solo.typeTextInWebElement(By.xpath("Xpath of the Search Text Box"), this.solo.sendKey(13)); //13 being ASCII Value for ENTER

But it throws an error at this.solo.sendKey(13) as we need to send in the String as a second parameter.

Need your inputs/aid on the same.

Regards, Zaid

Sorry to bother you Renas.

But I found a solution for my previous query.

First I took the control focus to the Search Text Box using,

this.solo.clickOnWebElement(By.xpath("Xpath of the Search Text Box"));

and then i used,

this.solo.sendKey(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER);

Could successfully hit an enter into the text box.
