Usage​

Scenario1:  Date pickers​

In the following example, we will set a date to a picker using the UICatalog Test application.

Step 1: Get the picker's Native id.

How to find the picker's Native properties?

Usually, it can be found behind its components properties:

  1. Click on one of the picker's components.

  2. Right-click on the component then click on 'Ignore' - this will remove its properties from the screen, and will let you see what's behind it.

  3. Click again in the same place - the picker's properties will now show up (if not, continue ignoring until you find it).

Step 2: Set the command's properties to get the selected date in the picker in the format
DD/MM/YYYY.

  

Result:

Scenario2: Sliders​

In the following example, we will set the slider to a particular value using the UICatalog Test application. 

Step 1: Get the slider's Native id

How to find the picker's Native properties?

Usually, it can be found behind its components properties:

  1. Click on one of the picker's components.

  2. Right-click on the component then click on 'Ignore' - this will remove its properties from the screen, and will let you see what's behind it.

  3. Click again in the same place - the picker's properties will now show up (if not, continue ignoring until you find it).

  4. Set the command's properties to get the selected value in the slider in integers between 0-100.

Result:

Scenario 3: Switches​

In the following example we will change the state of a button using the UICatalog Test application.

Step 1: Get the button's Native id.

How to find the picker's Native properties?

Usually it can be found behind its components properties:

  1. Click on one of the button's components.

  2. Right-click on the component then click on 'Ignore' - this will remove its properties from the screen, and will let you see what's behind it.

  3. Click again in the same place - the picker's properties will now show up (if not, continue ignoring until you find it)

  4. Set the command's properties to get the selected value in the switch - boolean values of true/false.

Result:

Scenario 3:  Non-Instrumented- Date and time pickers​

In the following example, we will set a date and time picker in the system settings for iOS devices.

Step 1: Copy unique XPath of the picker

Step 2: Set the command's properties to get the selected wheel

The "Date&Time" wheel in the iOS setting menu is a combination of three wheels - date, hours and minutes.

To set each of the wheels, we will address to them by their index, from left to right, starting with 0. For example, the hour wheel will be referred by the index 1.
