scrollTo & swipe

[RGIAPN]

how to scrollTo and swipe with java client 3.2.0 and appium 1.4.13 ?

[ravikr42]

Hi RGIAPN

There are APIs available in appium java client . you can use these APIs.

// For Scroll

driver.scroll(String);
driver.scrollToExact(String);

// for Swipe

driver.swipe(int fingers, WebElement, duration);
driver.swipe(int fingers, int x, int y, duration);

Hope this will help.

I tried all this methods, and none of these methods works

[ravikr42]

could you please share the piece of code which you are using for scroll and swipe?

 private IOSDriver<WebElement> driver;
 private ScreenRecorder screenRecorder;
  
  
  @Test
  public void f() {
  }
  
  
  @BeforeMethod
  public void setUp() throws Exception {
    // set up appium

// JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(" .... ");
// String pageName = obj.getJSONObject("pageInfo").getString("pageName");
//
// JSONArray arr = obj.getJSONArray("posts");
// for (int i = 0; i < arr.length(); i++)
// {
// String post_id = arr.getJSONObject(i).getString("post_id");
// }

    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

    //real device

// capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "iPad");
// capabilities.setCapability("udid","c0ff732e91bae98e61a11ce056dd727f30f5a2ae");
// capabilities.setCapability("bundleid", "com.anghami.anghami");
// capabilities.setCapability("ipa", "/Users/MacBookair2014/Desktop/Anghami.ipa");

    //simulator
    capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
    capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "8.4");
    capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "iPhone 5");
    capabilities.setCapability("app", "/Users/MacBookair2014/Desktop/Anghami.app");

    driver = new IOSDriver<WebElement>(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

	driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

	JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;

    startRecording();  

    driver.findElement(By.name("Let's start!")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.name("Email Login")).click();

// System.out.println(driver.findElementByIosUIAutomation("applications()[1].windows()[1].textFields()[1]").getAttribute("value"));
driver.findElementByXPath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIATextField[1]").sendKeys("roygeagea@gmail.com");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIASecureTextField[1]")).sendKeys("royanghami");
driver.findElement(By.name("Login")).click();

// if(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIAButton[8]")) != null)
// {
// driver.findElement(By.xpath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIAButton[8]")).click();
// }

    Thread.sleep(15000);

// js.executeScript("mobile: scrollTo", new HashMap() {{ put("element", driver.findElement(By.xpath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIATableView[2]/UIATableCell[5]")).getId()); }});

// driver.findElement(By.name("Menu Menu")).click();

// driver.findElement(By.xpath("//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[1]/UIATableView[1]/UIATableCell[5]")).click();

    //not functional on sim and real

// HashMap scrollObject = new HashMap();
// scrollObject.put("direction", "down");
// js.executeScript("mobile: scroll", scrollObject);

    //not functional on sim and real 
    driver.swipe(100,500,100,100,900);

    //not functional on sim and real

// HashMap swipeObject = new HashMap ();
// swipeObject.put("startX", 172);
// swipeObject.put("startY", 502);
// swipeObject.put("endX", 172);
// swipeObject.put("endY", 170);

    //not functional on sim and real

// HashMap swipeObject = new HashMap();
// swipeObject.put("element", "Editors' Choice");
// js.executeScript("mobile: scrollTo", swipeObject);

    driver.scrollTo("Editors' Choice");


    stopRecording();

	
	driver.close();
    System.out.println("App launched");

Swipe is broken in simulators. Check around forum too see some solutions that users have tried.

In real device you should be able to swipe without any problem.

[RGIAPN]

i tried in real device (iPad mini) and swipe doesn't work, also scrollTo doesn't work
reply with the swipe code that works on real device

[Telmo_Cardoso]

The signature for AppiumDriver swipe is:

public void swipe(int startx, int starty, int endx, int endy, int duration)

You can try directly with TouchAction also or use swipe method in MobileElement.java. Go to https://github.com/appium/java-client/ and search for the terms you want.

Finally you also have selenium swipe.

@Telmo_Cardoso Swipe gesture is not broken anymore in simulator with Xcode 7. It works perfectly on my machine

[Telmo_Cardoso]

swipe method was deprecated and now removed from latests java_client versions.

Please search on this forum for alternatives with TouchAction class
