Swipe/Scroll best practice with Java-Client 5

@Vell_Jackson and did you try that i mentioned above? public boolean tapByText(String text) ?

Yes I see your example.

indent preformatted text by 4 spaces@Test
    public void ChangePass(int startX, int startY, int endX, int endY, int duration) throws InterruptedException {

    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 25);
    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id(myprofile)));

    //Click the profile icon
    driver.findElement(By.id(myprofile)).click();

    //Click the sign in button
    driver.findElement(By.id(sign)).click();

    //Enter Username
    driver.findElement(By.id(enterUsernameButton)).sendKeys("q@mailinator.com");

    //Enter Password
    driver.findElement(By.id(enterPasswordButton)).sendKeys("Soni2017");

    //Tap the DONE button
    driver.findElement(By.id(signUpDoneButton)).click();

    wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
    wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id(myprofile)));

    driver.findElement(By.id(myprofile)).click();

    driver.findElement(By.id(name)).click();

    if (!driver.findElements(By.id(editprofile)).isEmpty()) {
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        driver.findElement(By.id(editprofile)).click();

    } else {
        Thread.sleep(2000);
        driver.findElement(By.xpath(ediProfile)).click();

    }
    //Enter the code for "Edit Profile"
    //Insert a code that scrolls down to the bottom of the screen
    // Scroll down
    // X[63,904]
    // Y[365,9771

    new TouchAction((MobileDriver) driver).press(startX, startY).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(5000)).moveTo(endX, endY).release().perform();

    //Change Password button
    driver.findElement(By.id(changePassword)).click();

After adding in your example it gave me an error saying:

java.lang.Exception: Method ChangePass should have no parameters

@mathewkuruvila did you check that it was able find your battery element before starting scroll?

Yes. It was able to find that out.

Same issue here, anyone has found any success in it.

If somebody looking for solution for Swipe, Scroll for native apps on Android and iOS this is how I achieved

Android

1. Based on co-ordinates technique

new TouchAction(driver).press(115, 650).waitAction(ofSeconds(1)).moveTo(115, 350).release().perform();

2. Not sure if it’s possible to do with particular element ?

iOS

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
HashMap<String, String> swipeObject = new HashMap<String, String>();

1. Method 1

       swipeObject.put("element", mobileElementToTakeActionUpon.getId());
       swipeObject.put("direction", "up");
       js.executeScript("mobile: swipe", swipeObject);
   

limitation - does more swipe than expected

2. Method 2

        swipeObject.put("element", itemsViewTopRow.getId());
        swipeObject.put("direction", "down");
        swipeObject.put("toVisible", "true");
        js.executeScript("mobile: scroll", swipeObject);
   

3. Co-ordinates based

        swipeObject.put("direction", "down"); //up for swipe
        swipeObject.put("startX", "90");
        swipeObject.put("startY", "400");
        swipeObject.put("endX", "90"); //"90");
        swipeObject.put("endY", "350"); //"200");
        swipeObject.put("duration", "2000");
        //js.executeScript("mobile: swipe", swipeObject); 
        js.executeScript("mobile: scroll", swipeObject);
   

limitation - does more swipe than expected

Using your method for Android, I get the below error in appium logs when I try for a horizontal swipe right to left. Using 5.0.4 and appium 1.7.2. Any ideas?

	t.press(1000, 1500).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(1000)).moveTo(0, 1500).release().perform();

your appium java client version is very old, can you use latest one from https://github.com/appium/java-client/releases83

I believe (5.0.4) is the latest that was actually released, 6.* are in beta.

I’ve just tried this on the native Google Play Store app and it’s working as expected, so it could be an issue with the apk I am testing, as it is an older version.

Thanks for clarifying, I prefer to use latest versions of client as it has quite a few bug fixes. Also it helps author to report any bugs found

We can use the following the code snippet to scroll down but please make sure you catch the exceptions.

try {
	driver.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector()).scrollIntoView(text(\"\"))");
}catch(Exception e) {
	System.out.println("whatever");
}

Hi,
I tried this for Image Carousel swipe and it worked.

public boolean swipeImages()
{
try
{
WebElement pageIndicator = driver.findElement(page_indicator);
String pageString= pageIndicator.getAttribute(“value”);
int length = pageString.length();
String count_string= pageString.substring(length-2, length);
int count = Integer.parseInt(count_string);
for (int i=1; i<=count; i++){

	  JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
	  HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
	  scrollObject.put("direction", "right");
	  js.executeScript("mobile: scroll", scrollObject);
	  
		   }
		   System.out.println("Swipe Successfully");
		
	}
	catch (Exception e) 
	{
		System.out.println("Image Swipe was not successful.");
		
	}

Hi, i have used the below code to Swipe / Scroll and it is working perfectly.
Code to Swipe UP
public boolean swipeFromUpToBottom()
{
try {
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
scrollObject.put(“direction”, “up”);
js.executeScript(“mobile: scroll”, scrollObject);
System.out.println(“Swipe up was Successfully done.”);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println(“swipe up was not successfull”);
}
return false;
}
Code to Swipe DOWN
public boolean swipeFromBottomToUp()
{
try {
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
scrollObject.put(“direction”, “down”);
js.executeScript(“mobile: scroll”, scrollObject);
System.out.println(“Swipe down was Successfully done”);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println(“swipe down was not successfull”);
}
return false;
}

Thanks !!

@vinitaPatil This is not working in Scroll-able Popup Menu.Do2 You have any Idea How to Scroll In Popup ?
