Hi,

How to use newly provided mobile commands with tap and scroll?
Commands are found here.
But I dont know how to use them with java.

## Automating Mobile Gestures For iOS With WebDriverAgent/XCTest Backend

Unfortunately Apple's XCTest framework does not natively support W3C standards for
TouchAction interface implementation. Although, it provides rich set of gestures,
inluding these, that are unique for iOS platform. It is possible to directly invoke these
gestures in Appium starting from version 1.6.4-beta.

It is important to rememeber that XCTest and WDA are being constantly changed.
This means all "mobile: *" commands can be also subject of change in Appium
without any preliminary notice.


### mobile: swipe

This gesture performs a simple "swipe" gesture on the particular screen element or
on the application element, which is usually the whole screen. This method does not
accept coordnates and siply emulates single swipe with one finger. It might be
useful for such cases like album pagination, switching views, etc. More advanced
cases may require to call "mobile: dragFromToForDuration", where one can supply
coordinates and duration.

I have used scroll,

//Swipe and load content
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
scrollObject.put("direction", "left");
//scrollObject.put("element", ((RemoteWebElement)).getId());
js.executeScript("mobile: swipe", scrollObject);

And for scroll,

driver.executeScript("mobile", "scroll", "direction" , "down");

With tap also,

HashMap<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
 params.put("X", 200);
 params.put("Y", 200);
 driver.executeScript("mobile: tap", params);

    public boolean tapElement_XCTest(MobileElement el) {
        try {
            // tap into center of element
            JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
            HashMap<String, String> tapObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
            tapObject.put("x", String.valueOf(el.getSize().getWidth() / 2));
            tapObject.put("y", String.valueOf(el.getSize().getHeight() / 2));
            tapObject.put("element", el.getId());
            js.executeScript("mobile:tap", tapObject);
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    public boolean swipeToDirection_iOS_XCTest(MobileElement el, String direction) {
        try {
            JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
            HashMap<String, String> swipeObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
            if (direction.equals("d")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "down");
            } else if (direction.equals("u")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "up");
            } else if (direction.equals("l")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "left");
            } else if (direction.equals("r")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "right");
            }
            scrollObject.put("element", el.getId());
            js.executeScript("mobile:swipe", swipeObject);
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

@Aleksei please clarify which location strategy do you use for MobileElement el on iOS 11 ?

why do you do action e.getId( ) ?

Aleksei 2017-10-31 15:03:49 UTC #4

@VikramVI

this is element. no matter how you find it. any strategy. In page object you just calling it as:

someEl = driver.findElement....
// or maybe your element was in annotation like:
@AndroidFindBy(className = "android.widget.TextView")
private AndroidElement someEl ;

tapElement_XCTest(someEl);

with el.getId() is just required by “mobile:swipe”
