Using Internal Methods

When working with an expandable list control, you select items in the list. To select an expandable list item, you can use several actions provided by Android ExpandableList object:

TouchItem, LongTouchItem, and similar actions: Simulate touch or long touch on a specific list view item.

All these actions have two parameters:

Group - specifies the caption or zero-based index of the desired group.

Note: Note that it is possible to use wildcards (* and ?) or regular expressions to specify a group caption. For more information, see Addressing Expandable List Groups and Items.
Item - specifies the zero-based index of the desired item within the group.

The following example demonstrates how you can use the mentioned actions in scripts:

JavaScript, JScript

function Test()
{
  // Select an Android device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice");

  // Obtain an application
  var app = Mobile.Device().Process("com.example.myapp");

  // Obtain an Expandable list
  var expList = app.Layout("layoutListView").ExpandableListView("elv1");

  // Touch some items within Group 1
  expList.TouchItem("Group 1", 0);
  expList.LongTouchItem("Group 1", 3);
}

Python

def Test(): 
  # Select an Android device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice")

  # Obtain an application
  app = Mobile.Device().Process("com.example.myapp")

  # Obtain an Expandable list
  expList = app.Layout("layoutListView").ExpandableListView("elv1")
  
  # Touch some items within Group 1
  expList.TouchItem("Group 1", 0)
  expList.LongTouchItem("Group 1", 3)

VBScript

Sub Test()
  ' Select an Android device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice")

  ' Obtain an application
  Set app = Mobile.Device.Process("com.example.myapp")

  ' Obtain an Expandable list
  Set expList = app.Layout("layoutListView").ExpandableListView("elv1")

  ' Touch some items within Group 1
  Call expList.TouchItem("Group 1", 0)
  Call expList.LongTouchItem("Group 1", 3)
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test();
var
  app, expList: OleVariant;
begin
  // Select an Android device
  Mobile.SetCurrent('MyDevice');

  // Obtain an application
  app := Mobile.Device.Process('com.example.myapp');

  // Obtain an Expandable list
  expList := app.Layout('layoutListView').ExpandableListView('elv1');

  // Touch some items
  expList.TouchItem('Group 1', 0);
  expList.LongTouchItem('Group 1', 3);
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function Test()
{
  // Select an Android device
  Mobile["SetCurrent"]("MyDevice");

  // Obtain an application
  var app = Mobile["Device"]["Process"]("com.example.myapp");

  // Obtain an Expandable list
  var expList = app["Layout"]("layoutListView")["ExpandableListView"]("elv1");

  // Touch some items
  expList["TouchItem"]("Group 1", 0);
  expList["LongTouchItem"]("Group 1", 3);
}

Simulating Actions From Keyword Tests

This topic explains how to select items of the expandable list control in scripts. You can use the described actions in keyword tests too. To do this, use the On-Screen Action or the Call Object Method operations.
