How to select random value from iOS picker wheel using Selenium

Question

I am performing my automation in real IOS device. In one of the aspect I have to automate a picker wheel

xpath:

//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIAPopover[1]/UIAPicker[1]/UIAPickerWheel[1]

I would like to select a random value from picker. I can able to do the by sending static value using SendKeys. Instead of the I want to select a random value.

Can I please know how can I do that using java??

Two ways to do this :

1. Randomise the UIAPickerWheel[1] index while you are using the x-path to access the elements.

2. You can put all possible static values into an ArrayList and use a random element from amongst them to input using the sendKeys() in way some-what like this :

   ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
   list.add("value1"); 
   list.add("value2"); // so on for all your values
   Random randomizer = new Random();
   String random = list.get(randomizer.nextInt(list.size()));
   element.sendKeys(random);
