I've found scrolling by co-ordinates helps. In Android you scroll from bottom up to get the scroll working. The best way i've found to work is - either to get the location of an element :
int topY = element.getLocation().getY()
int bottomY = topY + element.getSize().getHeight()
int centerX = element.getLocation().getX() + (element.getSize().getWidth()/2)
driver.swipe(centerX, bottomY, centerX, topY, duration);
Or - get the size of the screen, divide it up and scroll like that -
Dimension dimensions = driver.manage().window().getSize();
Double screenHeightStart = dimensions.getHeight() * 0.5;
int scrollStart = screenHeighStart.toInt();
Double screenHeightEnd = dmensions.getHeight() * 0.2
int scrollEnd = screenHeightEnd.toInt();
driver.swipe(0,scrollStart,0,scrollEnd,duration); //duration is in milliseconds I believe so go for values like 1000 or 2000

The reason you need to convert the Doubles to ints is because driver.swipe does not accept Double/double values.

I hope this helps.

@Rjimms, Thanks your solution worked well for Android scroll action. I have tried same code for iOS also, but it doesn't worked for me. If you know solution for iOS also, please provide. I am searching for reliable solution for iOS scroll and swipe.

Hi Selvi,

Can you try scroll on iOS app with below strategy...

driver = new IOSDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4725/wd/hub"), capabilities);
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,150);

  driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("UICatalog").click();
  TouchAction act = new TouchAction(driver);
 act.press(driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Sliders")).moveTo(driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Alert Controller")).release().perform();
  Thread.sleep(4000);

// Just make sure ur locator is correct, area should be scrollable and it should work....
If u have some text in content-desc attribute of Node then above code will work...
Try with className/xpath

Bhaskar the concept of scroll is same as manuall scroll

U select one point of screen swipe u r finger to another point and screen scrolls and new element appears right similarly
I am scrolling from element with contect-desc property "Sliders" to element with content-desc property "Alert Controller", once this action is done new elements comes into picture if u want to scroll further u need to pull a loop with terminating condition scroll and findElement, if element is found stop scroll (by terminating loop) else continue action...

Hi Rjimms,

This code works fine on both Android and iOS. To make it run on iOS, one has to club XPath with visible property.

public static void iOSSwipe(String xPath) {
do {
try {
driver.findElement(By.xpath(xPath)).click();
break;

		} catch (Exception NoSuchElementException) {
			Dimension dimensions = driver.manage().window().getSize();
			Double screenHeightStart = dimensions.getHeight() * 0.5;
			int scrollStart = screenHeightStart.intValue();
			Double screenHeightEnd = dimensions.getHeight() * 0.2;
			int scrollEnd = screenHeightEnd.intValue();
			driver.swipe(0, scrollStart, 0, scrollEnd, 2000);	
		}
	} while (true);
}

Example Call statement - iOSSwipe("//*[@label='Gift Cards' and @visible='true']");

Thanks

The problem I see with this though, is what happens when your object lands above, rather than below? Or more over, what if you don't know if it's above or below? What happens when you have thousands of records on that table? It seems like there should be a more effective method to 'jump' to an object, if we're able to supply the xpath or ID.

Scroll to text :
MobileElement radioGroup = (MobileElement) wd

.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector()"

  • ".resourceId(\"+listview_id+\")).scrollIntoView("

  • "new UiSelector().text(\"+text+\"));");

radioGroup.click();

@Appium_Master: Could you please share me the code what you have showed in above video.
Also there is no method inside driver.scrollTo() [See attachment screenshot] ..could you please let me know which version of libraries i need to use.
Also my current issue is i need to scroll vertically to find button and need to click on it. Here scroll should not be dependable based on its position.Please suggest!
Currently i'm using java-client latest 5.0 beta version.
