It’s working fine for me on real device.

One more thing, you can enable touch and pointer option for observing touch action, From android mobile Settings > Developer option > Input > Enable Pointer location and Show touches, observe the touch action and change the start point / end point / time duration from swipeVertical(driver,0.9,0.1,0.5,3000); as you need.
Here’s how I placed it. I just copied the code above.
I called the method to my test.java class:
with Regards to Settings, I don’t have also the 'Enable Pointer location and Show touches ’ option. I’m currently using Samsung Galaxy S8. Thank you. @Al_Imran
Method is ok, Please check again, Settings > Enable the Developer options > Scroll down the page > Input > Enable Pointer location and Show touches (check mark box)
I have tried this but no effect takes place
I have 1 question how u get the co-ordinates
0.9,0.1,0.5,3000
And also when I tried this
Dimension dim= SwipeHomeButton.getSize();
int height= dim.getHeight();
int width = dim.getWidth();
int y = (int)(height*.20);
int startx=(int)(width*.75);
int endx=(int)(width*.35);
driver.swipe(startx, y, endx, y,500);
new TouchAction(driver).press(y, startx).waitAction(5000).moveTo(y, endx).release().perform();
It pulled from the top on my android phone
It looks like it is not able to get the proper co-ordinates
Can u plzz help me with this

Hi
I am new to Appium and struggling on calling a swipe method from left to right.
As per you video, driver is not having method called swipe in its intelligence.
I have tried using calling TouchAction class as well but while giving driver as argument it is
throwing the below error all the time. I am Struck and not able to move further.
Please help here
Still No progress. I am getting below error.
Below is my Capability SetUp. Please let me know If any where am doing wrong.
public class ExampleHorizontalSwipe {
//AndroidDriver driver;
WebDriver driver;
@Test(priority=0)
public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException
{
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "NexusTest");
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "Android");
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "5.0.1");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("...");
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "...");
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
// driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);
// driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
Hi After using the below method, console show script pass successfully but execution was not happening from left to right for a specific element. please help where am i missing.
public class ExampleHorizontalSwipe {
AndroidDriver driver = null;

TouchAction act = new TouchAction(driver);
act.longPress(200, 180, Duration.ofSeconds(2)).moveTo(600, 180).release().perform();
Hi @praveen0314 can you please post your code, after making which changes this swipe started working to you
Hi All, Finally I could able to resolve the issue of swiping for
Android
Hybrid App
Samsung 8 Device
before start of swiping use the switching to the Native context, after doing the swipe action
//Find swipe start and end point from screen's.
//Find startx point which is at right side of screen.
int startx = (int) (size.width * 0.70);
//Find endx point which is at left side of screen.
int endx = (int) (size.width * 0.30);
//Find vertical point where you wants to swipe. It is in middle of screen height.
int starty = size.height / 2;
System.out.println("startx = " + startx + " ,endx = " + endx + " , starty = " + starty);
//Swipe from Right to Left.
if(swipingDirection == Swipe.Left)
((AndroidDriver<WebElement>)getInstance()).swipe(startx, starty, endx, starty, 2000);
//Swipe from Left to Right.
if(swipingDirection == Swipe.Right)
((AndroidDriver<WebElement>)getInstance()).swipe(endx, starty, startx, starty, 2000);
switch back to WebContext to continue working with elements. Hope this solution helps

I’ve consolidated my findings in https://discuss.appium.io/t/swipe-scroll-best-practice-with-java-client-5/18589/1722
@Telmo_Cardoso
This solution not working, while I’m using java-client 5.0.4. Its showing error at duration and suggested change it to Duration.ofDays(duration), I have tried it but not working. could you please help for solving this problem.
That was for an old client… in 5.0.4 I use:
Duration.ofMillis(duration)
with duration being in miliseconds (2000, for instance).
If you using latest java client v6 beta then it has changed again.
Thanks it is working cool 
@Telmo_Cardoso
For java-client 5.x.x new solution is:
public static void swipeHorizontal(AppiumDriver driver, double startPercentage, double finalPercentage, double anchorPercentage, int duration) throws Exception {
Dimension size = driver.manage().window().getSize();
int anchor = (int) (size.height * anchorPercentage);
int startPoint = (int) (size.width * startPercentage);
int endPoint = (int) (size.width * finalPercentage);
new TouchAction(driver).press(startPoint, anchor).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(duration)).moveTo(endPoint, anchor).release().perform();
}
public static void swipeVertical(AppiumDriver driver, double startPercentage, double finalPercentage, double anchorPercentage, int duration) throws Exception {
Dimension size = driver.manage().window().getSize();
int anchor = (int) (size.width * anchorPercentage);
int startPoint = (int) (size.height * startPercentage);
int endPoint = (int) (size.height * finalPercentage);
new TouchAction(driver).press(anchor, startPoint).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(duration)).moveTo(anchor, endPoint).release().perform();
}
