Separating Lines of EditText
Mobile devices store contents of EditText controls as a set of strings, separated by line feed character. To access them, you need to change ListSeparator to the appropriate value. You can do it in the following way:
JavaScript, JScript
Python
aqString.ListSeparator = "\n"VBScript
DelphiScript
C++Script, C#Script
Getting the Number of Lines in EditText
To determine the number of lines in a multiline edit text control, use the GetListLength routine. The following example demonstrates how to obtain the number of lines in the edit text control:
JavaScript, JScript
function Test()
{
var p, Edit, Num;
// Select the Android device
Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice");
// Obtain the EditText object and fill it with text
p = Mobile.Device().Process("com.example.myapp");
Edit = p.RootLayout("").Layout("layoutTop").Layout("layout3").EditText("edit5");
Edit.SetText("This is line 1" + "\n" + "This is line 2" + "\n" + "This is line 3");
// Set the list separator
aqString.ListSeparator = "\n";
// Get The number of lines
Num = aqString.GetListLength(Edit.wText);
Log.Message(Num);
}
Python
def Test():
# Select the Android device
Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice")
# Obtain the EditText object and fill it with text
p = Mobile.Device().Process("com.example.myapp")
Edit = p.RootLayout("").Layout("layoutTop").Layout("layout3").EditText("edit5")
Edit.SetText("This is line 1" + "\n" + "This is line 2" + "\n" + "This is line 3")
# Set the list separator
aqString.ListSeparator = "\n"
# Get The number of lines
Num = aqString.GetListLength(Edit.wText)
Log.Message(Num)VBScript
Sub Test()
Dim p, Edit, Num
' Select the Android device
Call Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice")
' Obtain the EditText object and fill it with text
Set p = Mobile.Device.Process("com.example.myapp")
Set Edit = p.RootLayout("").Layout("layoutTop").Layout("layout3").EditText("edit5")
Call Edit.SetText("This is line 1" + VbLf + "This is line 2" + VbLf + "This is line 3")
' Set the list separator
aqString.ListSeparator = VbLf
' Get The number of lines
Num = aqString.GetListLength(Edit.wText)
Call Log.Message(Num)
End Sub
DelphiScript
procedure Test();
var
p, Edit, Num;
begin
// Obtain the Android object
Mobile.SetCurrent('MyDevice');
// Obtain the EditText object and fill it with text
p := Mobile.Device.Process('com.example.myapp');
Edit := p.RootLayout('').Layout('layoutTop').Layout('layout3').EditText('edit5');
Edit.SetText('This is line 1' + #10 + 'This is line 2' + #10 + 'This is line 3');
// Set the list separator
aqString.ListSeparator := #10;
// Get The number of lines
Num := aqString.GetListLength(Edit.wText);
Log.Message(Num);
end;
C++Script, C#Script
function Test()
{
var p, Edit, Num;
// Select the Android device
Mobile["SetCurrent"]("MyDevice")
// Obtain the EditText object and fill it with text
p = Mobile["Device"]["Process"]("com.example.myapp");
Edit = p["RootLayout"]("")["Layout"]("layoutTop")["Layout"]("layout3")["EditText"]("edit5");
Edit["SetText"]("This is line 1" + "\n" + "This is line 2" + "\n" + "This is line 3");
// Set the list separator
aqString["ListSeparator"] = "\n";
// Get The number of lines
Num = aqString["GetListLength"](Edit.wText);
Log["Message"](Num);
}
Getting a Single Line of EditText
To get a specific line of a multiline edit text control, use the GetListItem routine. The following example demonstrates how to get the specific line of the edit text control.
JavaScript, JScript
function Test()
{
var p, Edit, Text, item;
// Select the Android device
Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice");
// Obtain the EditText object and fill it with text
p = Mobile.Device().Process("com.example.myapp");
Edit = p.RootLayout("").Layout("layoutTop").Layout("layout3").EditText("edit5");
Edit.SetText("This is line 1" + "\n" + "This is line 2" + "\n" + "This is line 3");
// Set the list separator
aqString.ListSeparator = "\n";
// Get EditText object contents
Text = Edit.wText;
// Get the second line and post it to the log
item = aqString.GetListItem(Text, 1);
Log.Message(item);
}
Python
def Test():
# Select the Android device
Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice")
# Obtain the EditText object and fill it with text
p = Mobile.Device().Process("com.example.myapp")
Edit = p.RootLayout("").Layout("layoutTop").Layout("layout3").EditText("edit5")
Edit.SetText("This is line 1" + "\n" + "This is line 2" + "\n" + "This is line 3")
# Set the list separator
aqString.ListSeparator = "\n"
# Get EditText object contents
Text = Edit.wText
# Get the second line and post it to the log
item = aqString.GetListItem(Text, 1)
Log.Message(item)VBScript
Sub Test()
Dim p, Edit, Text, item
' Select the Android device
Call Mobile.SetCurrent("MyDevice")
' Obtain the EditText object and fill it with text
Set p = Mobile.Device.Process("com.example.myapp")
Set Edit = p.RootLayout("").Layout("layoutTop").Layout("layout3").EditText("edit5")
Call Edit.SetText("This is line 1" + VbLf + "This is line 2" + VbLf + "This is line 3")
' Set the list separator
aqString.ListSeparator = VbLf
' Get EditText object contents
Text = Edit.wText
' Get the second line and post it to the log
item = aqString.GetListItem(Text, 1)
Log.Message(item)
End Sub
DelphiScript
procedure Test();
var
p, Edit, Text, item : OleVariant;
begin
// Select the Android device
Mobile.SetCurrent('MyDevice');
// Obtain the EditText object and fill it with text
p := Mobile.Device.Process('com.example.myapp');
Edit := p.RootLayout('').Layout('layoutTop').Layout('layout3').EditText('edit5');
Edit.SetText('This is line 1' + #10 + 'This is line 2' + #10 + 'This is line 3');
// Set the list separator
aqString.ListSeparator := #10;
// Get EditText object contents
Text := Edit.wText;
// Get the second line and post it to the log
item := aqString.GetListItem(Text, 1);
Log.Message(item);
end;
C++Script, C#Script
function Test()
{
var p, Edit, Text, item;
// Select the Android device
Mobile["SetCurrent"]("MyDevice")
// Obtain the EditText object and fill it with text
p = Mobile["Device"]["Process"]("com.example.myapp");
Edit = p["RootLayout"]("")["Layout"]("layoutTop")["Layout"]("layout3")["EditText"]("edit5");
Edit["SetText"]("This is line 1" + "\n" + "This is line 2" + "\n" + "This is line 3");
// Set the list separator
aqString["ListSeparator"] = "\n";
// Get EditText object contents
Text = Edit["wText"];
// Get the second line and post it to the log
item = aqString["GetListItem"](Text, 1);
Log["Message"](item);
}
Simulating Actions From Keyword Tests
This topic explains how to work with the edit text control in scripts. You can use the described methods and properties in keyword tests too. To do this, use the On-Screen Action or the Call Object Method operations.
