XPATH that will allow me to distinguish between the 3 buttons even though the buttons have the same values.

[fabio73]

Some quick context to what I'm doing. I'm utilizing a test automation tool called SOASTA. What this software allows me to do is record performed actions on a mobile device and then play back those same actions at anytime. When recording actions, SOASTA will assign the action performed a random locator value. This value can be modified to equal a specific XPATH value.

 

On the mobile application I'm recording action on, I have 3 files stored called TEST SIGN.doc, TEST SIGN.docx, and TEST SIGN.pdf, separated by the node <RelativeLayout> in the XML code shown below. Each of these files have a button on them that when tapped, opens a window to perform certain actions. In the XML hierachy, these three buttons are all assigned the same value of, <DontPressWithParentImageView touchTestId="img_item_action"/>.

 

My question is, is there an XPATH that will allow me to distinguish between the 3 buttons even though the buttons have the same values?

 

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!
