Trail Sense Android Tests

Create UI automation tests for Trail Sense tools using AutomationLibrary and ToolTestBase.

Selection Strategy: Text Over IDs

Prefer text-based selection for most interactions. Use IDs only when necessary.

Use Text For

// Clicking tabs, buttons, menu items, options
click(string(R.string.distance))
click(string(R.string.delete))
click("High")
click("Test Group")

// Verifying text anywhere on screen
hasText(string(R.string.no_paths))
hasText("Test Path")

// Dialog inputs (by label/hint)
input(string(R.string.name), "My Item")
input(string(R.string.distance), "1.0")

// Checkbox state by label
isChecked(string(R.string.tide_clock))

Use IDs Only For

// Title bars (for verification)
hasText(R.id.paths_title, string(R.string.paths))
hasText(R.id.tide_title, "Tide 1")

// Add/play buttons (no text label)
click(R.id.add_btn)
click(R.id.play_btn)

// Specific input fields
input(R.id.searchbox, "query")
input(R.id.tide_name, "Tide 1")
input(R.id.utm, "42, -72")

// Result/data views
hasText(R.id.result, "3.2808 ft")
hasText(R.id.total_percent_packed, "50% packed")

// Charts and special views
isVisible(R.id.chart)
scrollToEnd(R.id.scroll_view)

// Toolbar buttons
click(toolbarButton(R.id.paths_title, Side.Right))

Andromeda List Item IDs

List items use Andromeda library IDs:

click(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.title)
hasText(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.title, "Item Name")
hasText(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.description, "Details")
click(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.checkbox)
click(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.trailing_icon_btn)
click(com.kylecorry.andromeda.views.R.id.menu_btn)

Common Patterns

Create/Edit/Delete Flow

private fun canCreateItem() {
    click(R.id.add_btn)
    click(string(R.string.new_item))
    input(string(R.string.name), "Test Item")
    clickOk()
    hasText("Test Item")
}

private fun canEditItem() {
    clickListItemMenu(string(R.string.edit))
    input("Test Item", "Test Item 2")
    clickOk()
    hasText("Test Item 2")
}

private fun canDeleteItem() {
    clickListItemMenu(string(R.string.delete))
    clickOk()
    not { hasText("Test Item 2", waitForTime = 0) }
}

Toolbar Menu

click(toolbarButton(R.id.title, Side.Right))
click(string(R.string.export))

Quick Actions

private fun verifyQuickAction() {
    TestUtils.openQuickActions()
    click(quickAction(Tools.QUICK_ACTION_ID))
    // Verify action occurred
    TestUtils.closeQuickActions()
}

Optional Elements

optional {
    hasText(string(R.string.disclaimer))
    clickOk()
}

Navigate Back

backUntil { isVisible(R.id.paths_title, waitForTime = 1000) }

Key Functions
