Component ID

id identifies a component uniquely within an application. This module provides APIs for obtaining the attributes of or sending events to the component with the specified ID.

NOTE

The APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

Attributes

Name Type Description
id string Unique ID you assigned to the component.
Default value: ''
Since API version 9, this API is supported in ArkTS widgets.

APIs

getInspectorByKey9+

getInspectorByKey(id: string): string

Obtains all attributes of the component with the specified ID, excluding the information about child components.

This API is used only for test purposes.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
id string Yes ID of the component whose attributes are to be obtained.

Return value

Type Description
string JSON string of the component attribute list.

getInspectorTree9+

getInspectorTree(): Object

Obtains the component tree and component attributes.

This API is used only for test purposes.

Return value

Type Description
Object JSON object of the component tree and component attribute list.

sendEventByKey9+

sendEventByKey(id: string, action: number, params: string): boolean

Sends an event to the component with the specified ID.

This API is used only for test purposes.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
id string Yes ID of the component to which the event is to be sent.
action number Yes Type of the event to be sent. The options are as follows:
- 10: click event.
- 11: long-click event.
params string Yes Event parameters. If there is no parameter, pass an empty string "".

Return value

Type Description
boolean Returns true if the component with the specified ID is found; returns false otherwise.

sendTouchEvent9+

sendTouchEvent(event: TouchObject): boolean

Sends a touch event.

This API is used only for test purposes.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
event TouchObject Yes Location where a touch event is triggered. For details, see TouchEvent.

Return value

Type Description
boolean Returns true if the event is sent successfully; returns false otherwise.

sendKeyEvent9+

sendKeyEvent(event: KeyEvent): boolean

Sends a key event.

This API is used only for test purposes.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
event KeyEvent Yes Key event. For details, see KeyEvent.

Return value

Type Description
boolean Returns true if the event is sent successfully; returns false otherwise.

sendMouseEvent9+

sendMouseEvent(event: MouseEvent): boolean

Sends a mouse event.

This API is used only for test purposes.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Description
event MouseEvent Yes Mouse event. For details, see MouseEvent.

Return value

Type Description
boolean Returns true if the event is sent successfully; returns false otherwise.

Example

// xxx.ets
import { IntentionCode } from '@ohos.multimodalInput.intentionCode'

class Utils {
  static rect_left: number
  static rect_top: number
  static rect_right: number
  static rect_bottom: number
  static rect_value: Record<string, number>

  // Obtain the coordinates of the rectangular area occupied by the component.
  static getComponentRect(key:string):Record<string, number> {
    let strJson = getInspectorByKey(key)
    let obj:Record<string, string> = JSON.parse(strJson)
    console.info("[getInspectorByKey] current component obj is: " + JSON.stringify(obj))
    let rectInfo:string[] = JSON.parse('[' + obj.$rect + ']')
    console.info("[getInspectorByKey] rectInfo is: " + rectInfo)
    Utils.rect_left = JSON.parse('[' + rectInfo[0] + ']')[0]
    Utils.rect_top = JSON.parse('[' + rectInfo[0] + ']')[1]
    Utils.rect_right = JSON.parse('[' + rectInfo[1] + ']')[0]
    Utils.rect_bottom = JSON.parse('[' + rectInfo[1] + ']')[1]
    return Utils.rect_value = {
      "left": Utils.rect_left, "top": Utils.rect_top, "right": Utils.rect_right, "bottom": Utils.rect_bottom
    }
  }
