contributed by Brad Taylor

Then /^I should see "([^\"]*)" (un)?checked$/ do |label, un|
  sel = query("button marked:'#{label}'", :isSelected)[0]
  if un.nil?
    screenshot_and_raise "Expected check button checked" if sel == '0'
  else
    screenshot_and_raise "Expected check button unchecked" if sel == '1'
  end
end

Views

contributed by Jens Kohl

Personally I use this step a lot while prototyping my scenarios. But consider writing a more specific step definition, when you've grown a feeling for what your scenarios should look like.

Then /^I (?:press|touch) (?:the) (\d+)(?:st|nd|rd|th) "([^\"]+)" view$/ do |index, class_name|
  touch("view:'#{class_name}' index:#{index}")
  sleep(STEP_PAUSE)
end
