Hi akt
Use control ui action to get text. Use control ui infos action to know the id of the name and address. Any doubts? Please post.

Hi akt
Use show control ui infos action to get

Example as below for your understanding.
text = getTextById("com.android.chrome:id/url_bar");

Text contains the desired address.

Trigger = app task started (app name chrome)
Action = control ui script as

Code: Select all

sleep (5000);
text = getTextById("com.android.chrome:id/url_bar");
Use condition debug dialog to know more.

@Akt : where is these text located? Inside app or a browser? If inside app, you can use Control UI as suggested by Rafi4. You cn check the tutorial here : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7320

But if it is from browser, most of the time, you can't use Control UI to get the text. You can still try Control UI function getTextInActiveWindow() to see if it returns the text. If not, then you have to use HTTP request and parse the result using regex.
