Here is my code

AndroidElement el = driver.findElement(By.id(io.***.vodi:id/message_list_item_chat_id));
AndroidElement el2 = (AndroidElement) el.findElementByClassName("android.view.View");
el2.getText(); //result is blank
el2.getAttribute("text") //result is blank

回答1:

Get the "recycler view" by its resource-id. You can then get the different view's inside and select the 4th one to view "view #4".

I was also facing the same issue in getting text from android view. below code helpful for me:

Get all your element in a list :

List<WebElement> allChats : driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@class='android.view.View']"));

Then iterate through for loop and get the text using name attribute

for(WebElement chat : allChats)
{
     System.out.println(chat.getAttribute("name"));
}
