The problem
driver.Pagesource() not giving the complete details for an element of a native app. XML while designing the screen has details of font-type,color, etc...for the button where the XML file generated using the command driver.Pagesource() in a program is not giving even a single details of the button that might be alike the XML file while designing
Environment
- Appium version ---1.4.16.1
- Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Windows 7 Professional SP1
- Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe):0.12.2
- Mobile platform/version under test: Android 4.3
- Real device or emulator/simulator: Samsung Galaxy Note II
- Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe:
Details
I am planning to automate my task for which I am planning to use Appium. I am designing a screen with a button providing the background color and font color and provided an action as when clicked navigate to next screen that displays a textbox. I am launching the app in Android and iOS devices and after opening the initial screen in a real android/ios devices with the button I am making the screen to wait for 5 seconds and using driver.getPagesource(); to get the XML that contain all the details of the button like button size, button background color, button font type, button font color besides when clicked navigating to next screen I am planning to get textbox font color,fonttype,etc... but this command(pageSource) is not all giving details but only stopping at the button class only after that not giving any details.

XML for Button taking while designing the screen
`
`
From the above two XML files I am expecting to display the content under STI tag of "XML while designing" through program using driver.pageSource()....being so unlucky I tried looking into lots of forums and tried to implement few features but unable to get even single details for Button hence desperately I expect that I may get some solution from this forum
