Description

Now able to switch to WebView.

Environment

• Java client build version or git revision if you use some snapshot: 2.34.1
• Appium server version or git revision if you use some snapshot: 2.2.2
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium if necessary: Windows 10

Code To Reproduce Issue

protected void switchToWebViewContext() {
	String strWebContextName = ((AndroidDriver)getAppiumDriver()).getContextHandles().stream().filter(ctx -> ctx.contains("WEBVIEW_")).findAny().orElse(null);
	System.out.println("strWebContextName " + strWebContextName);
	if (Objects.nonNull(strWebContextName)) {
		((AndroidDriver) getAppiumDriver()).context(strWebContextName);
		System.out.println("Switched to Web view ");
	}
}

here I am able to get webview context name strWebContextName WEBVIEW_com.xxxxx.xxxxxxx

@ashwithpoojary98

In application, some parts of the modules are in Webview.

Please explain "Try switching context directly"

[shinobi01]

facing the same issue, I'm able to see context list by using
((SupportsContextSwitching) world.driver).getContextHandles()
but unable to switch to it via:
((SupportsContextSwitching) world.driver).context("WEBVIEW_xxxxx")
Update:
I found it should be related to Android System WebView version.
I'm able to switch context via 122.0.6261.64, but failed with version 122.0.6261.119
Uninstall Android System WebView updates from Settings works for me.
