Why findElement(By.name("")) is not working for second time?

Check using Appium Inspector -> the field 'password' might not have any name value set as "password" to access it.

Try accessing element using xpath instead like :

  WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//window[1]/scrollview[1]/secure[1]"));
  password.click();
  password.sendKeys("psswrd");

Follow following steps to get xpath or other attributes using Appium Inspector :

[1] Launch Appium server.
[2] Check the check box 'App Path'.
[3] Click on the 'Choose' button and select your .app file location from your local, e.g. xyz.app
[4] Now click on the 'Launch' button . Once appium server is launched, the blue color icon besides the 'Launch' button is enabled.
[5] Click on the blue color icon, it will open up the appium inspector and simulator with your application :

enter image description here

You will see the element hierarchy of your app displaying attributes like name , xPath , value etc.

  • how "//window[1]/scrollview[1]/secure[1]" this path comes ? @Smriti – T B Mar 11 '14 at 12:26
  • I have edited my comment above and mentioned steps to launch Appium Inspector and view attributes. – Smriti Mar 11 '14 at 17:40
  • This is bad practice, any small change in the layout will break your test ! use className and text as mention here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22142219/can-we-find-element-by-id-in-appium – Shirane85 Nov 10 '14 at 16:59
