Xamarin UITest Query How to get just the label as response - xamarin

Question

When I query my listview with automation Id in the Repl() window I get back a chunk of data. I only want back one field 'Text' or 'Label'
here is my query:
app.Query(q => q.Id("officerList").Descendant().Id("officerName").Index(0).Class("UILabel").Index(0))
here is the return: [ [0] {
Id => null,
Description => ">",
Rect => {
Width => 88,
Height => 20.5,
X => 12,
Y => 144,
CenterX => 56,
CenterY => 154.25
},
Label => "Abril, Jill M.",
Text => "Abril, Jill M.",
Class => "UILabel",
Enabled => true
}
]
I want to continue the query and return only "Abril, Jill M."
I tried adding .Label no luck it broke with error:
(1,103): error CS1061: Type Xamarin.UITest.Queries.AppQuery' does not contain a definition forLabel' and no extension method Label' of typeXamarin.UITest.Queries.AppQuery' could be found. Are you missing an assembly reference

Answer 1

This should work:
var query = app.Query(q => q.Id("officerList")
.Descendant().Id("officerName")
.Index(0).Class("UILabel")
.Index(0));
var labelText = query[0]?.Text;
labelText should contain the value of the label you want.
In resume, the Query returns an Array of AppResult (AppResult[]). You need to get the item you want which is this case is the first item.
Hope this helps.-

Answer 2

You can try this query also for Label -
q.Id("officerList").Descendant().Id("officerName").Index(0).Class("UILabel").Index(0)).Label
Output - "Abril, Jill M.", ,
OR For Text
q.Id("officerList").Descendant().Id("officerName").Index(0).Class("UILabel").Index(0)).first.text
Output - "Abril, Jill M."
May be this would work
