How to perform scroll/swipe top to bottom

@suryakanta939 its working for me, that’s why i suggest this solution

@Bilal_Jarwan yes it will work but for the appium version bellow 1.6.5 .But question was for appium 1.7
Thanks:slightly_smiling_face:

@suryakanta939

yes, that’s right thanks, also i have set the solution for the main issue how to swipe until you find you element.

Not working for me, but I managed to make it work with TouchAction, see bellow.

TouchAction ta = new TouchAction(driver);
ta.press(Music).moveTo(GC).release().perform();

Basically UiScrollable and UiSelector are the classes of android.
You just need to enter element’s text to scroll up to that element.

driver.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator(“new UiScrollable(new UiSelector()).scrollIntoView(text(“Enter your element”))”);

How would you perform scroll if you have no other way to catch element than using webview?
So you switchdriver webview and you want then to grab element and scroll, is it possible by UiAutomator?

Working, but how you come across those numbers(coordinates)?
Is there any more sophisticated way of scrolling when dealing with webview?

Can you use the inspector tool to get your x/y coordinates?

Hi, i have used the below code to Swipe / Scroll and it is working perfectly.
Code to Swipe UP
public boolean swipeFromUpToBottom()
{
try {
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
scrollObject.put(“direction”, “up”);
js.executeScript(“mobile: scroll”, scrollObject);
System.out.println(“Swipe up was Successfully done.”);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println(“swipe up was not successfull”);
}
return false;
}
Code to Swipe DOWN
public boolean swipeFromBottomToUp()
{
try {
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
scrollObject.put(“direction”, “down”);
js.executeScript(“mobile: scroll”, scrollObject);
System.out.println(“Swipe down was Successfully done”);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println(“swipe down was not successfull”);
}
return false;
}
Code for carousel images swipe

public boolean swipeImages()
{
try {
WebElement pageIndicator = driver.findElement(page_indicator);
String pageString= pageIndicator.getAttribute(“value”);
int length = pageString.length();
String count_string= pageString.substring(length-2, length).trim();
int count = Integer.parseInt(count_string);
System.out.println("Number of Image available to Swipe: "+count);
for (int i=0; i<=count; i++){
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
scrollObject.put(“direction”, “right”);
js.executeScript(“mobile: scroll”, scrollObject);
}
System.out.println(“Swipe Successfully”);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println(“Image swipe was not successfull”);
}
return false;
}

public void swiptToBottom()
	{
		Dimension dim = driver.manage().window().getSize();
		int height = dim.getHeight();
		int width = dim.getWidth();
		int x = width/2;
		int top_y = (int)(height*0.80);
		int bottom_y = (int)(height*0.20);
		System.out.println("coordinates :" + x + "  "+ top_y + " "+ bottom_y);
		TouchAction ts = new TouchAction(driver);
		ts.press(x, top_y).moveTo(x, bottom_y).release().perform();
	}

Call the above method to swipe to bottom

To do this you must know resource id or cont-desc of scrollable element. You also need to know className of your scrollable element.

If you have cont-desc in scrollable list

try {
    String scrollableList="your con-desc of scrollable List";
    String elementClassName="android.something.something";
    String anyText="any text";

    driver.findElement(MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator(
                    "new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().description(\"" + scrollableList + "\")).getChildByText("
                            + "new UiSelector().className(\"" + elementClassName + "\"), \"" + anytext + "\")"));
    }catch (Exception e){
            System.out.println("Cannot scroll further");
}

If you have resource-id in scrollable list

try {
    String scrollableList="your con-desc of scrollable List";
    String elementClassName="android.something.something";
    String anyText="any text";

    driver.findElement(MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator(
                    "new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().resourceId(\"" + scrollableList + "\")).getChildByText("
                            + "new UiSelector().className(\"" + elementClassName + "\"), \"" + anytext + "\")"));
 }catch (Exception e){
            System.out.println("Cannot scroll further");
}

If the screen cannot be scroll further it will throw error which will be catched by catch block.

Hello guyz,

I was also stuck in scroll page issue today in my appium automation. i am using robot framework with appium library and running my automation real device using adb service.

i first tried using the appiumlibrary keywords Scroll · Scroll Down · Scroll Up but was getting error as

" WebDriverException: Message: Unknown mobile command “scroll”. Only shell,startLogsBroadcast,stopLogsBroadcast commands are supported. "

then i tried implementing custom keywords using scroll methods via java & python code also but got the same error as above.

i even tried to use scroll up/down keywords of Androidlibrary of robot framework but it did’nt worked due import error as below:

Importing test library ‘AndroidLibrary’ failed: ImportError: cannot import name GLOBAL_VARIABLES

then finally i came up with 2 ways to scroll element as below:

1. def scroll_page_to_text(self,text):
   driver = self.get_appium_webdriver_instance()
   driver.implicitly_wait(5000)
   element = driver.find_element_by_android_uiautomator(‘new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).getChildByText(new UiSelector().className(“android.widget.TextView”), "’
   + text + ‘")’)

   this i found on stackoverflow and worked for me

2. if for some reasons the above did’nt work then use this alternative way of drag drop element. this is not good way but yes you’ll not be blocked atleast till you find a better way.

       def scroll_page_down(self,source_element_locator,destn_element_locator):
         	driver = self.get_appium_webdriver_instance()
            driver.implicitly_wait(5000)
           source_element=driver.find_element_by_xpath(source_element_locator)
           destn_element=driver.find_element_by_class_name(destn_element_locator)
           driver.drag_and_drop(source_element,destn_element)
   

this will work even if yours elements are not actually draggable/droppable. just make sure to pass locator of lowermost element of current screen as source_element_locator, then any element locator which is on top of screen as destn_element_locator. driver.drag_and_drop method will try to drag source_element to destn_element and it will automatically scroll your screen.
