PopupWindow not visible to inspector (or driver)

[vicwomg]

Using selendroid 0.17, I can't detect the contents of a popup window within my app, and was able to reproduce this in the selendroid test app: http://central.maven.org/maven2/io/selendroid/selendroid-test-app/0.17.0/selendroid-test-app-0.17.0.apk

Sample code:

driver.findElement(By.id("showPopupWindowButton")).click();
Thread.sleep(2000); //account for animation delay
String pageSource = driver.getPageSource(); 
System.out.println("Is popup window detected? Expect true: " + String.valueOf(pageSource.contains("Dismiss")));

Just scanning the source code for "Dismiss" label which is on the button since I can't find it's element ids. The view hierarchy looks the same before and after I click the showPopupWindowButton

The screenshot in the inspector shows the app screen with the popup missing, even though it appears in the emulator.

Maybe you can switch to pop window at first

I'm also getting this issue on Android 6.0 (Genymotion and AVD).

Just to add more info: This popup is in a different element tree, on previous version of Android i.e. 5.x (lollipop), when this type of popup is visible it becomes the active window but this is not the case on Android 6.0, if you use getPageSource() you'll see that it dumps the content of the main window instead so the element on this popup are not visible.

I'm seeing this issue as well, on Android 6.0.1 and a Nexus 6

The DOM is not getting updated to reflect the new event, and the inspector is not reflecting the change, either.

any updates on this?

Given that they've been on 0.17.0 for quite some time, I expect not. With Android 7 coming, the project is really falling behind.
