Appium and Robot Framework: Element locator with prefix not supported

Question

My attempt to click a skip button on a mobile app.

Error: ValueError: Element locator with prefix 'android.widget.textview[@resource- id' is not supported

 AppiumLibrary.Click Element  android.widget.TextView[@resource-id='sg.onemap.android.onemap2:id/tv_skip']

Tried another way but got another error message

InvalidSelectorException: Message: Locator Strategy 'css selector' is not supported for this session

Click Element  id='sg.onemap.android.onemap2:id/tv_skip'

Also, it would be good if anyone have any good examples on how to write appium actions to perform on mobile applications using robot framework.

Answer 1

If you look at the RF Appium KW docs here AppiumLibrary you can see an example of referencing an id.

Click Element | id=my_element

id not even required.
