I want to know a genric method for scrolling in appium java

Is scroll supported in 1.9.1 appium version. can someone share the code snippet if its working plz

I know there has been many responses, here is what I use,

public boolean scrollToElement (By by) throws Exception {
  boolean isFoundTheElement = appiumServer.getDriver().findElements(by).size() > 0;
  while (isFoundTheElement == false) {
    swipeVertical(0.8, 0.1, 0.5, 2000);
    isFoundTheElement = appiumServer.getDriver().findElements(by).size() > 0;
  }

  return isFoundTheElement;
}

public void swipeVertical (
    double startPercentage, double finalPercentage, double anchorPercentage, int duration)
        throws Exception {
  Dimension size = appiumServer.getDriver().manage().window().getSize();
  int anchor = (int) (size.width * anchorPercentage);
  int startPoint = (int) (size.height * startPercentage);
  int endPoint = (int) (size.height * finalPercentage);
  getTouchAction().press(PointOption.point(anchor, startPoint))
  .waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofMillis(duration)))
  .moveTo(PointOption.point(anchor, endPoint)).release().perform();
}

public TouchAction getTouchAction () {
  return new TouchAction(appiumServer.getDriver());
}

It is just some methods. Add it to a class (existing or new class). From any method (main() is just a method, in a class), you instantiate the class, then call the method ()

myClass.scrollToElement (by);

by is a variable, of type By
https://seleniumhq.github.io/selenium/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/By.html1

This is your locator object.

Really?

Import isn’t making a variable.

By by = By.xpath("//someXpath");
scrollToElement(by);

I will leave a scroll up as a exercise for you. Basically, your are just swamping the startPoint and endPoint.

all menus are different. But, you would use driver.findElements(by) to get the list. Then, iterate through the list, calling click (or better yet, make a tap(MobileElement) method since this is Appium). However, once you change page, the elements found with driver.findElements(by) are no longer going to be relevant. Will need to get it again, and keep track of your placement.

I suggest taking a course on the language your using (such as Java)

If you watch www.udemy.com1 (sign up is free, courses cost), they often have Sales where you could get a complete course for under $12 USD. Find courses, favorite them. Pay for it when your comfortable with the price. I am not part of Udemy in any way, I just take many classes there (work and leisure related). There are many other online training web sites out there. Look around.

Coding Appium isn’t just putting in commands, it is just another library in the language your using. You need to understand that language. The more complex the application under test, the better you need to be at programming. In test, we have to determine that the application is correct - that can result in some complex testing code.

Learn programming.
