Summary

Android and iOS reported element state in different fields, so the same assertion could not pass on both platforms. This aligns value and checked:

Before After
Android slider / progress / rating bar no value range: {min, max, current} from RangeInfo, and value = current (e.g. "72")
Android text field typed text in text only also copied to value (text unchanged)
iOS switch, on value: "1" only value: "1" and checked: true

Changes

Android agent (agents/android/java/UiTreeSerializer.java)

  • Sends range: {min, max, current} from AccessibilityNodeInfo.getRangeInfo() (via Float.toString, so 0.1f is 0.1); omitted for indeterminate ranges (type 3) and non-finite values
  • Sends editable from isEditable()

Android mapping (devices/android.go)

  • New optional range on ScreenElement (Android only; iOS has no min/max, only a value string such as "50 %")
  • value = range position formatted without a trailing .0, else the text of an editable node
  • A node with a value is kept even without a label or id (e.g. an unlabeled progress bar)
  • Text is copied, not moved: consumers reading text see no change

iOS mapping (devices/devicekit/source.go)

  • A Switch with value "1" gets checked: true; unset otherwise, matching Android, which only reports it when true

Only the DeviceServer dump path gets value; the uiautomator XML fallback has no range or editable attribute.

Testing

  • 12 new unit tests (slider/fractional/unset/unlabeled range, agent JSON decoding, editable copy, empty field, non-editable label, iOS switch on/off, non-switch value "1"); go test ./... passes
  • Pixel 9a emulator, playground Basic UI: slider range {0, 100, 0} → {0, 100, 72} and value 0 → 72 after tapping; text field text and value both "Hello World", empty fields no value; switch checked: true after toggling
  • iPhone 17 simulator, playground Basic UI: switch (checked) when on, unset when off; text field unchanged (value: "hello")

Notes for reviewers

  • Slider values still differ in format across platforms: Android reports the raw position (72), iOS a percentage string ("50 %", with a non-breaking space). range lets a client such as mobilewright normalize both to a percentage; mobilecli itself doesn't interpret it.
  • mobilewright's clear() verifies that value is empty afterwards. On Android that check could never fail before; with this change it can, if a field does not actually clear.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Android screen elements now include minimum, maximum, and current values for valid sliders, progress indicators, and rating controls.
    • Editable Android fields expose their text as a value, while retaining the text itself.
    • Switches with a value of “1” are marked as checked; other switch values are not.
    • Android elements with values or ranges are retained even when they have no label.

…oid and ios

- android: a node's RangeInfo position (slider, progress bar, rating bar)
  is reported as value, and an unlabeled node with a value is kept
- android: an editable node's text is copied to value, keeping text,
  so value holds a text field's content on both platforms
- ios: a switch whose value is "1" is reported as checked, like android

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Android screen elements now carry optional range data and values derived from range positions or editable text. DeviceKit switch elements with value "1" now have Checked set to true.

Changes

Android Screen Element Values

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and serialize Android ranges
types/screen.go, agents/android/java/UiTreeSerializer.java
ScreenElement gains optional range data. The Android serializer emits range values only for determinate ranges with finite minimum, maximum, and current values.
Convert Android nodes to screen element values
devices/android.go, devices/android_elements_test.go
Android node conversion transfers range data and derives values from range positions or editable text. Tests cover range and editable values, JSON decoding, and omitted data.

DeviceKit Switch State

Layer / File(s) Summary
Set switch checked state from value
devices/devicekit/source.go, devices/devicekit/source_test.go
A switch with value "1" is marked checked. Tests cover value "0" and a non-switch element with value "1".

Comment thread agents/android/java/UiTreeSerializer.java Outdated
An indeterminate progress bar (RangeInfo type 3, API 36) has no position,
and JSONObject.put throws on NaN or infinity, aborting the whole dump.
The agent sends RangeInfo as a range object {min, max, current} instead of
range-current alone, and elements expose it as range, so clients can
normalize a slider position without mobilecli interpreting it. value keeps
the current position.
