Appium: “An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters” error

Question

I am new to Appium and have been trying to automate the Conversion Calculator app for Android. Am getting the error \"org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: An element

Answer 1

I would use driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); instead of Thread.sleep(5000).

Try to use a newer version of Appium, I's been improved a lot. You can download the latest version of Appium and Appium clients here:http://appium.io/downloads.html

But be careful because in the newer version the findElement throws an Exception if there are more then one result of the search.

I would write this in a comment but I've not enough reputation :/
