[niranjanparija]

I have a Framework Set up with Silk Mobile but we want to migrate the entire set up to Appium.I am stuck with the PageFactory set up for Android and iOS as it is not at possible to reuse the same Pagefactory with Appium. Need yours quick help and suggestions on this.

@niranjanparija Please provide more details. I can't figure out what happens.

Please attach to this ticket samples of your client code (with comments if it is possible), server output, error stacktraces. It will be great if you create gists and put links here.

@niranjanparija
These samples don't show how do you use Selenium PageFactory class. Do you use it at all?

I just updated the code snippets which I want to run by referring the PageObjects and PageElements mentioned earlier with Appium.Please check this once if at all it can help you to understand the issue.

I think that it is totally not connected with Appium or Selenium Webdriver.
Here is the exception text:
https://gist.github.com/niranjanparija/3b706105004065236878#file-gistfile1-txt-L113

It means that Reflection API can't find the convinient constructor. Available constructors:

and PageElements mentioned earlier with Appium

I'm really not sure that it works. AndroidDriver and IOSDriver fetch implementations of org.selenium.WebElement.

@niranjanparija Please reopen this issue/open a new one if you'll find some details which directly connected to Appium.
