Wait element By iOSXCUITFindBy - automation

Question

I need to add in my declaration a way to wait the element, for so then to click it. I am using Appium with Java, in a IOS device.
#iOSXCUITFindBy (xpath = "//XCUIElementTypeButton[#name=\"Enviar depois\"]")
private RemoteWebElement BtnEnviarDepois;
public void ClickBtnEnviarDepois(){
**// I need to Add a way to wait the element here**
BtnEnviarDepois.click();
}
I need to add in the declaration something like this, but I don't know how to implement:
public void wait(By ID) {
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(DriverFactory.getDriver(), (180));
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable((ID)));
}

Answer 1

Simplest way to initialise wait and reuse it in the page objects is to use the concept of Inheritance. Here's one example how you can do it.
Page class:
public class MyPage extends BasePage {
#iOSXCUITFindBy(xpath = "//XCUIElementTypeButton[#name=\"Enviar depois\"]")
private WebElement btnEnviarDepois;
public MyPage(AppiumDriver driver){
super(driver);
}
public void ClickBtnEnviarDepois(){
waitForElementToBeClickable(btnEnviarDepois).click();
}
}
BasePage class:
public class BasePage {
private final WebDriverWait wait;
public BasePage(AppiumDriver driver){
PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver), this);
wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
}
public WebElement waitForElementToBeClickable(WebElement element){
return wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(element));
}
}
Some people don't like to write custom methods like waitForElementToBeClickable(). So alternatively, you can slightly change the code as below:
Page class:
public class MyPage extends BasePage {
#iOSXCUITFindBy(xpath = "//XCUIElementTypeButton[#name=\"Enviar depois\"]")
private WebElement btnEnviarDepois;
public MyPage(AppiumDriver driver){
super(driver);
}
public void ClickBtnEnviarDepois(){
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(btnEnviarDepois)).click();
}
}
BasePage class:
public class BasePage {
protected final WebDriverWait wait;
public BasePage(AppiumDriver driver){
PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver), this);
wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
}
}
