Hello,

we are experiencing an issue with our Android app during automated testing with Appium (v2.19.0). Some text elements rendered using Material Design components appear in the accessibility/UI hierarchy (XML) with a significant delay after the screen is opened.

Specifically:
• When the screen is displayed, the element is not present in the initial UI hierarchy (no TextView node or text).
• Only after leaving the screen and coming back (or after a full redraw), the element finally appears in the hierarchy.
• Because of this, Appium cannot locate the element in time, and tests fail.

Example:
<android.view.View resource-id="wrap"> <android.widget.TextView text="Vyber pracoviště k přihlášení"> </android.view.View>

This TextView sometimes appears late in the XML, even though it is already visible on the screen for the user.

This behavior causes automated tests to fail randomly because the element is missing from the DOM when Appium queries it.

We use the following setup:
• Framework: WebdriverIO (Mocha)
• Automation: Appium 2.19.0 with UiAutomator2
• Platform: Android Emulator
• Capabilities:
• appium:ignoreUnimportantViews = true
• appium:appWaitActivity = *
• appium:autoGrantPermissions = true
• appium:noReset = true
• appium:fullReset = false

Thank you for your help!
