In the app, I am able to go to Settings and turn on the Dark Mode feature.
I want to check that this feature is working and write a test validating that the app went into Dark Mode successfully.
If you know the particular attribute (text or background color, etc) of an element that changes, you can use the Get Element Attribute command
MobileElement element = (MobileElement) driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("SomeAccessibilityID");
String tagName = element.getAttribute("content-desc");

I tried making the small icon exactly 16x16, gray-scaled, nothing but gray and white (the gray color being hex value 616161), to create a silhouette of my application icon.
Yet no matter what it just shows up as a white/gray square in the notifications. What am I doing wrong?
(My min api is 21, assuming it is relevant)

First let’s understand the Android documentation which is as follows
“Update or remove assets that involve color. The system ignores all
non-alpha channels in action icons and in the main notification icon.
You should assume that these icons will be alpha-only. The system
draws notification icons in white and action icons in dark gray.”
Now this is easy to miss and I have seen many apps that are live in the app store with thousands of users who haven’t followed the mentioned guidelines.
So let me explain in detail how you can convert your notification icon to an Android friendly one with a few clicks.
In your favourite image editor open up your icon file. Convert all parts of the image that you don’t want to show to transparent pixels. All colors and non transparent pixels are displayed in white. Let us go through an example.
EDITED: Thanks #Andrey Patseiko for the tool
For notification you have to use different icons for different versions of android:
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(context)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setContentTitle("My notification")
.setContentText("Look, white in Lollipop, else color!")
.setSmallIcon(getNotificationIcon())
.build();
return notification;
Get notification icon on the basis of version
private int getNotificationIcon() {
boolean useWhiteIcon = (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP);
return useWhiteIcon ? R.drawable.icon_silhouette : R.drawable.ic_launcher;
}
Along with new features and capabilities, Android 5.0 includes a variety of system changes and API behavior changes. See the notification behavior changes.
Notifications are drawn with dark text atop white (or very light)
backgrounds to match the new material design widgets. Make sure that
all your notifications look right with the new color scheme. If your
notifications look wrong, fix them:
Use setColor() to set an accent color in a circle behind your icon image.
Update or remove assets that involve color. The system ignores all non-alpha channels in action icons and in the main notification icon.
You should assume that these icons will be alpha-only. The system
draws notification icons in white and action icons in dark gray.
So, basically you have to use silhouette icons as notification icon for API Level 21+
I know that unlike the operator name and the country code, it's not possible to get the user's phone number in iOS programmatically (at least not with publicly available APIs).
But I have just tried the app Lyft and it is autosuggesting my current phone number. I want to know how this app is doing that.
The phone number suggestion appearing above the keyboard is a built-in iOS feature and it works if a Text Content Type is set for a UITextField.
Since iOS 10, you can provide a content type for your inputs. iOS then will recommend autofill options for the given content type.
You can set up a content type...
in Interface Builder by navigating to the Text Input Traits section of the Attributes inspector (the fourth icon from the right in the top sidebar):
...or programmatically with:
textField.textContentType = .telephoneNumber
I've tried looking for info on how to set these (in red) using CMake but have had no luck so far:
1st red box issue:
First of all, even though the device seems like it's been set to 'Universal' correctly, the value isn't being interpreted correctly by Xcode. When I set it to 'Universal' manually using the dropdown, it gives a tab each for iPhone and iPad. Furthermore, I know it's not being interpreted correctly as the app does not function correctly (in my case, neither the launch image nor the app itself run full screen).
I don't think setting orientation programmatically is an option for me since I need the launch image in the correct orientation as well.
So can't do something like this:
How do I programmatically set device orientation in iOS7?
2nd red box issue:
I use an asset file for all my icons, so at the moment I'm having to build using CMake and then press 'Use Asset Catalog' each time.
I found this but doesn't seem very useful:
http://cmake.3232098.n2.nabble.com/Icon-and-Launch-image-support-for-iOS-apps-td7590970.html
Regarding the "1st box issue", I've found that the approach taken by this demo project works really well.
https://github.com/forexample/testapp/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt
They use a templated Info.plist to inject the bundle identifier, etc, during configure. The nice part is then you can modify the orientations in the plist.in file, and then these get translated cleanly to the Info.plist once you open the project.
Regarding the 2nd red box issue, i found that the attribute I needed to set was XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME
For example:
set_target_properties(${TARGET} PROPERTIES
XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME "AppIcon")
For Launch Images I got it to work by setting it in the plist.in file under UILaunchStoryboardName as described in yano's previous answer.
I'm developing an extension for Firefox which searches terms in a page. And I'd like to change found text highlight color and background. For example, I search for a letter "s" and by default it's selected with a blue rectangle with white text color. So I want to change the blue to the red.
How could I do this via JS?
Edit0:
To select a found text I use document.createRange() and selection.addRange() methods.
I don't know how the default finder selects a found term and applies background to it.
So maybe the 'range' method is not the best.
But I think I'm searching a way to highlight this created range...
Edit1:
Now I've partially resolved the color-changing preoblem. Just add a CSS rule with ::-moz-selection and red background when a text is found and selected. Then for document 'onmousedown' I remove this rule not to leave the default selection as red.
But a new problem is when I find say a digit and it gets a selection the background of that selection is gray (so it looks like a text selection of an inactive window). Then when I click with my mouse somewhere in the document text and press F3 the extension finds the next digit and selects it with the red background. And next findings work right (with red background).
So my purpose is change that initial gray background to red.
Maybe I should change the inactive selection color...
Edit2:
Now I updated my JS code:
var selection=w.getSelection()
var range=w.document.createRange()
range.setStart(foundNode,foundOffset)
range.setEnd(foundNode,foundOffset+foundLength)
selection.removeAllRanges()
selection.addRange(range)
var controller=gBrowser.docShell.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIInterfaceRequestor)
.getInterface(Ci.nsISelectionDisplay)
.QueryInterface(Ci.nsISelectionController);
controller.setDisplaySelection(controller.SELECTION_ATTENTION)
controller.repaintSelection(controller.SELECTION_NORMAL)
Thanks to Noitidart's answer I found some information on how to use nsISelectionController XPCOM interface to select found text with background. Still I can't set a custom color for this background so that it be different from the default color of found text in Firefox. But setting the ui.textSelectBackgroundAttention preference in about:config to desired color will work with both my extension and default find engine.
I've found that SELECTION_ATTENTION constant is responsible for that background color and the setDisplaySelection method links the color to the selected text. But I couldn't find any implementation of this method. I saw only nsISelectionController idl file with its structure but no correspondent .cpp or .js file implementing this .idl. So I don't have information on how the color is set.
Edit3:
Recently I added the "Highlight All" functionality to my extension. And a new question about color of this highlight has rised. Using the above tecnique will show all the matches with green find color (by default). But it's more comfortable to use a different color to distinguish the current match and others.
So I couldn't find another helpful nsISelectionController constant for the "Highlight All" selection. I simply set this selection to 'DISABLED' type and changed the ui.textSelectBackgroundDisabled about:config pref. This pref is obviously for the selected text background of an inactive window. And it worked for me.
controller.setDisplaySelection(controller.SELECTION_DISABLED)
Another thing is that I'm not sure that the controller.repaintSelection() in the previous Edit is necessary. I guess the selection didn't work without it when I started my experiments with this stuff. But now I removed that line and all still work.
Plus:
And some additional links if somebody will need:

Also I used some files from Firefox source archive: Firefox 33 Source:

- findbar.xml [\toolkit\content\widgets\]
I asked this question to quicksilver via email and this is what he told me:
You might find this one helpful: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XPCOM_Interface_Reference/nsISelectionController
I'm hardly the master you think I am, actually. :) To change those colors I just change the values for preferences:
ui.textHighlightBackground
ui.textHighlightForeground
ui.textSelectBackgroundAttention -> SELECTION_ATTENTION, it's not a highlight, it's a normal selection (as you would select some text with your mouse and it would turn the regular blue blackground, in windows at least) but it's given "attention", so it has the green background that the find operation reports. Basically it's a way of showing the user "Here I am!!" after firefox automatically selecs the text he searched for.
And I really don't know most of those contants, SELECTION_NORMAL is for normal text selection, like it would be when you select text with your mouse, SELECTION_FIND is for the highlights, and I only know the ON/HIDDEN/OFF/DISABLED ones which are self-explanatory. SELECTION_SPELLCHECK is probably for the auto-correct when you are typing in an editable content node, but I'm just guessing that one from the name.
Also, as far as I know, it's not possible to just create custom selection ranges/contants, as the code simply won't recognize them without editing the C++ code as well. Which is actually one of the reasons I haven't implemented https://github.com/Quicksaver/FindBar-Tweak/issues/76 yet.
I have a requirement wherein I have to change the text of the return key of the iPad to Sign-in. Obviously it is not one of the options available in the sdk. I have searched it over the net and it seems doing that possible.
The only question remaining is whether the app would be accepted by Apple if I modify the default system keyboard? The HIG is not clear on this , it states that "A custom input view can replace the system-provided onscreen keyboard in apps" and "You can also provide a custom input accessory view, which is a separate view that appears above the keyboard (or your custom input view)". Nothing about whether we are allowed to add an extra button on a system keyboard.
Any experiences??
#Vin you can change the name of return key of the keyboard to your requirement. I have an app that has the changed to return key name to Done and Search. And apple did not reject it.
To "Sign-In" you can use the return key UIReturnKeyJoin
textField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyJoin;
EDIT
Nope. You get the return key and
keyboard types defined in the OS.
Unless you want to try to hack the
keyboard's view hierarchy to change
that button, which would be a really
bad plan. (Standard recommendation
here is to file a bug report with
Apple to let them know you'd like
more/different options.)
see Custom iPhone return key text
Since I didn't get any satisfactory answer, I convinced the client that it would be inappropriate to modify the default system keyboard for a sake of one button(even if it is allowed by Apple). We are now going for the "Go" option available for return key.
