Searching of text with special chars fails. about robotium HOT 8 CLOSED

If you use "" before the text then special characters will not be taken into account. So basically you could use searchText("" + text). Many people like to use regex when doing searches so that is a feature that we can not remove. However I do agree that sometimes regex support can be annoying.

Hi,

I am a Black Box tester.

Is there any possibility to search a particular test in a particular location.

For Example,

I am having 3 details like S.No, Name, Grade..

S.No 1
Name Mano
Grade A

"1" should be present parallel to S.NO
"Mano" should be parallel to Name..etc...

i used to test that using assertTrue(solo.searchText("Mano"));

Is there any possibility ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am in the situation where I "need" to verify the presence of a special char string. So using searchtext fails.
What should I use here?

Thanks,
Amar.

@Amar

I have something where I have $ and want to assert a price shows.

Assert.assertTrue(solo.searchText("$18,044.49"));

doesn't work but if you use \ before it does.

Assert.assertTrue(solo.searchText("$18,044.49"));

For issue #480 :
Shall i give this way
solo.clickOnText(""+"inf-raven720p-sample Divx+WMA9.2Lossless.avi");
its not working.

Giving "" in between the text is not possible in my case as i am taking the inputs from a text file.

You can also use Pattern.quote
