Clicking on a HTML dropdown list doesn't drop the list

[hasantha]

We have hybrid android mobile application. In a certain UI(html file) in the application, there's a drop-down menu which needs to be clicked(automated) using a test script. I tried using  web.tap() and web.click(), but the drop-down list didn't drop as it should do. I couldn't find any other methods specifically made to perform an click operation/event on a dropdown list in this http://docs.telerik.com/platform/mobile-testing/api-reference/web page(Web API) . How do you achieve this?

Hi hasantha,

Thank you for bringing this issue to us.

Can you try if the following will work on your side:

setSelectedValue should open the dropdown and select the item from the dropdown by its name as a string.
// the dropdown element
var dropdown = { 'id' : 'dropdown' };

web.setSelectedValue(dropdown, "value"),
// now for the verification, getSelectedValue should return the selected item as a string which can be asserted

web.getSelectedValue(dropdown, function(res){
     assert(res).equals("value");

I hope it helps.

Regards,

Shtilianov
