How to use touch action in new java client 6.0.0-BETA4

[Telmo_Cardoso]

6.0.0-Beta4, the one you requested

import those methods:

import java.time.Duration;
import static io.appium.java_client.touch.offset.PointOption.point;

[Tany_S]

@Telmo_Cardoso thanks for the help.
after importing those file i am getting error in WaitOptions

[Telmo_Cardoso]

Import that too

import static io.appium.java_client.touch.WaitOptions.waitOptions;

[Tany_S]

import static io.appium.java_client.touch.WaitOptions.waitOptions;

i don’t know why eclipse was not taking that automatically.
thank you @Telmo_Cardoso

Hi Telmo,

Please help me with the below code,

MobileElement elmUserName = (AndroidElement) driver.findElement(By.id(“username”));

ElementOption eoption;
eoption = new ElementOption().withElement(elmUserName);

TouchActions act = new TouchActions(driver);
act.longPress((WebElement) LongPressOptions.longPressOptions().withElement(eoption)).build().perform();

**I am getting below error message

TouchActions

Maybe you wanted to use TouchAction ?

[atulparate]

yes right i have resolved it already. I was using touchactions not touchaction. Btw thanks for your help.

[Zuzeac]

new TouchAction(localdriver).tap(tapOptions().withElement(element(myElement))).perform();

Hello,
I just update to java client 6.0.0 and when I’m using TouchAction I get a warning:

The method is working but it’s annoying.

How can I get rid of it?
Thanks

[Telmo_Cardoso]

Your driver is instance of what class?

[Zuzeac]

I have a class called Utils were I defined some useful methods, and I have a construction which is passing me the driver( sorry still at the beginning of appium and java and I might get it wrong).
Here is my code:
package resources;
import static io.appium.java_client.touch.TapOptions.tapOptions;
import static io.appium.java_client.touch.WaitOptions.waitOptions;
import static io.appium.java_client.touch.offset.ElementOption.element;
import static io.appium.java_client.touch.offset.PointOption.point;
import static java.time.Duration.ofSeconds;
import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement;
import io.appium.java_client.TouchAction;

public class Utils {

public static AndroidDriver<AndroidElement> driver;

public Utils(AndroidDriver<AndroidElement> driver) {
	Utils.driver = driver;
}
  public void swipe(int x_start, int y_start, int x_stop, int y_stop, int duration) {
	  new TouchAction(driver).press(point(x_start, y_start)) .waitAction(waitOptions(ofSeconds(duration)))
  .moveTo(point(x_stop, y_stop)) .release() .perform();
  }

The driver is initiating in my TestBase class.

I use java-client 6.1.0 + Desktop 1.6.2, and TouchAction.tap() with WebElement throws UnsupportedCommandException:

org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: Method has not yet been implemented
Build info: version: '3.13.0', revision: '2f0d292'

Apparently Appium server doesn’t support touch yet because the command errors out (404):

Is there a workaround?

[Zuzeac]

Deskto

Try to update the appium server to 1.8.1
should work
for me is working:
public void tap(MobileElement el) {
new TouchAction((AndroidDriver) driver).tap(tapOptions().withElement(element(el))).perform();
}

Try to update the appium server to 1.8.1

Installed appium server 1.8.1. Same result.

SOLVED – See this post on SO. The author literally saved my week!

[Zuzeac]

What java client do you have?
Make sure you have 6.0.0 or 6.1.0 the stable releases. And check the above examples
I spend like one week until i made it work. I still have the warning but I can like with it.
check this out also

appium/java-client

[Zhu_YinXiu]

DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();
dc.setCapability(“deviceName”, “emulator-5554”);
dc.setCapability(“BROWSER_NAME”, “android”);
dc.setCapability(“platformName”, “Android”);
dc.setCapability(“appPackage”, “com.poshmark.app”);
dc.setCapability(“appActivity”, “com.poshmark.ui.MainActivity”);
try {
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), dc);
wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
} catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}

io.appium.java_client.TouchAction action = new TouchAction((MobileDriver)driver);
action.press(PointOption.point(startx, starty)).moveTo(PointOption.point(startx, endy)).release().perform();

I tried this code, but error occured

Please need help!!!

AddNote: I am using java-client6.1.0.jar

[Zuzeac]

eTo(PointOption.point(s

Why do you have this capability:
dc.setCapability(“BROWSER_NAME”, “android”);?
deviceName, platformName, platformVersion would be suitable.
And try to use my example provided above

[ViniKomn]

im taking the same prob, using AndroidDriver or RemoteWebDriver, i cant use TouchAction…

[sachin_boob]

I see method

tap(WebElement el) has been removed from Appium Java Client 6.x onwards.

Are you aware of any specific reasons ? Certainly this method is more useful and readable than newer methods using TapOptions and PointOptions.

[Al_Imran]

Could you please share us, LongPress on coordinates with duration? I have tried but I can’t. What I have tried

//LongPress on coordinates with duration:
new TouchAction((AndroidDriver)driver).longPress(longPressOptions().withElement((ElementOption) point(xPoint, yPoint)).withDuration(Duration.ofMillis(duration))).release().perform();
