MonkenRunner通过HierarchyViewer定位控件的方法和建议(Appium/UIAutomator/Robotium姊妹篇)

1. 背景

在使用MonkeyRunner的时候我们经常会用到Chimchat下面的HierarchyViewer模块来获取目标控件的一些信息来辅助我们测试，但在MonkeyRunner的官网上是没有看到相应的API的描述的,上面只有以下三个类的API引用信息(http://developer.android.com/tools/help/MonkeyDevice.html)

• MonkeyDevice
• MonkeyImage
• MonkeyRunner

所以在这里尝试整理下HierarchyViewer提供的API的用法并根据实践作出相应的建议，首先请看该类提供的所有可用的公共方法，内容并不多：

 

从图中可以看出HierarchyViewer类中提供的方法主要是用来定位控件相关的，包括根据ID取得控件，根据控件取得控件在屏幕的位置等。但还有一些其他方法，我们会顺带一并描述，毕竟内容并不多。

本文我们依然跟上几篇文章一样以SDK自带的NotePad为实验目标，看怎么定位到NotesList下面的Menu Options中的Add note这个Menu Entry。

以下是通过HierarchyViewer这个工具获得的目标设备界面的截图：

 

2.findViewById(String id)

2.1 示例

targetDevice = MonkeyRunner.waitForConnection()
'''
     public ViewNode findViewById(String id)
     * @param id id for the view.
     * @return view with the specified ID, or {@code null} if no view found.
'''
viewer = targetDevice.getHierarchyViewer()
button = viewer.findViewById('id/title')
text = viewer.getText(button)
print text.encode('utf-8')

2.2 分析和建议

此API的目的就是通过控件的ID来获得代表用户控件的一个ViewNode对象。因为这个是第一个示例，所以这里有几点需要说明

• 一旦MonkeyRunner连接上设备，会立刻获得一个MonkeyDevice的对象代表了目标测试设备，我们就是通过这个设备对象来控制设备的
• 注意这里需要填写的id的格式和UIAutomatorViewer获得ResourceId是不一样的，请看下图UIAutomatorViewer截图中ResourceId前面多出了"android:"字串：
• 这个方法返回的一个ViewNode的对象，代表目标控件，拥有大量控件相关的属性，由于篇幅问题这里不详述，往后应该会另外撰文描述它的使用。在本文里知道它代表了目标控件就行了
• 最后打印的时候需要转换成UTF-8编码的原因跟Jython默认的编码格式有关系，具体描述和Workaround请查看：http://www.haogongju.net/art/1636997

3. findViewById(String id, ViewNode rootNode)

3.1示例

'''
     public ViewNode findViewById(String id, ViewNode rootNode)
     * Find a view by ID, starting from the given root node
     * @param id ID of the view you're looking for
     * @param rootNode the ViewNode at which to begin the traversal
     * @return view with the specified ID, or {@code null} if no view found.

'''
iconMenuView = viewer.findViewById('id/icon_menu')
button = viewer.findViewById('id/title',iconMenuView)
print "Button Text:",text.encode('utf-8')

3.2分析

这个方法是上面方法的一个重载，除了需要指定ID之外，还需要指定一个rootNode，该rootNode指的就是已知控件的父控件，父到什么层级就没有限制了。为什么需要这个方法了，我们可以想象下这种情况：同一界面上存在两个控件拥有相同的ID，但是他们某一个层级父控件开始发生分叉。那么我们就可以把rootNode指定为该父控件（不包括）到目标控件(不包含）路径中的其中一个父控件来精确定位我们需要的目标控件了。

如我们的示例就是明确指出我们需要的是在父控件“id/icon_menu"（请看背景的hierarchyviewer截图）下面的那个”id/title"控件。

 

4 getAbsolutePositionOfView(ViewNode node)

4.1示例

'''
    public static Point getAbsoluteCenterOfView(ViewNode node)
     * Gets the absolute x/y center of the specified view node.
     *
     * @param node view node to find position of.
     * @return absolute x/y center of the specified view node.
     */
'''
point = viewer.getAbsoluteCenterOfView(button)
print "Button Absolute Center Position:",point

4.2 分析和建议

这个API的目的是想定位一个已知ViewNode控件的左上角在屏幕上的绝对坐标。对于我们正常的APP里面的控件，本人实践过是没有问题的。但是有一种情况要特别注意：这个对Menu Options下面的控件是无效的！

以上示例最后一段代码的输出是（3，18),其实这里不用想都知道这个不可能是相对屏幕左上角坐标（0，0）的绝对坐标值了，就偏移这一点点像素，你真的当我的实验机器HTC Incredible S是可以植入脑袋的神器啊。

那么这个数据是如何获得的呢？其实按照我的理解（真的只是我自己的理解，不对的话就指正吧，但请描述详细点以供我参考），这个函数的定义应该是“获得从最上层的DecorView（具体DectorView的描述请查看我以前CSDN转载的一篇文章《Android DecorView浅析》）左上角坐标到目标控件的的偏移坐标”，只是这个最上层的DecorView的坐标一般都是从（0，0）开始而已。如下图我认为最上面的那个FrameLayout就代表了DecorView，或者说整个窗体

那么在假设我的观点是对的情况下，这个就很好解析了，请看Menu Option的最上层FrameLayout的绝对坐标是（0，683）

而Add note的绝对坐标是（3，701）

两者一相减就是和我们的输出结果绝对吻合的（3，18）了。

 

5. getAbsoluteCenterOfView(ViewNode node)

5.1 示例

'''
    public static Point getAbsoluteCenterOfView(ViewNode node)
     * Gets the absolute x/y center of the specified view node.
     *
     * @param node view node to find position of.
     * @return absolute x/y center of the specified view node.
     */
'''
point = viewer.getAbsoluteCenterOfView(button)
print "Button Absolute Center Position:",point

5.2 分析和建议

这个方法的目的是获得目标ViewNode控件的中间点的绝对坐标值，但是对Menu Options下面的控件同样不适用，具体请查看第3章节。

 

以下两个方法都不是用来定位控件的，一并记录下来以供参考。

6. getFocusedWindowName()

6.1 示例

'''
    public String getFocusedWindowName()
     * Gets the window that currently receives the focus.
     *
     * @return name of the window that currently receives the focus.
'''
window = viewer.getFocusedWindowName()
print "Window Name:",window.encode('utf-8')

6.2 解析

其实就是获得当前打开的窗口的packageName/activityName，输出与HierarchyViewer工具检测到的信息一致，所以猜想其用到同样的方法。 输出： HierarchyViewer监控信息：

 

7. visible(ViewNode node)

7.1 示例

'''
    public boolean visible(ViewNode node)
      * Gets the visibility of a given element.
     * @param selector selector for the view.
     * @return True if the element is visible.
'''
isVisible = viewer.visible(button)
print "is visible:",isVisible

就是查看下控件是否可见，没什么好解析的了。
