Swipe/Scroll best practice with Java-Client 5

[menypeled]

The swipe method was deprecated on java-client5.X (AppiumDriver#swipe(int, int, int, int, int) ).

Can someone share the best practice to overcome this change?

We have tried to use the TouchAction class however, it doesn’t seems to work properly.

---

TouchAction ta = new TouchAction(driver);
ta.press(x1, y1).waitAction(wait).moveTo(x2, y2).release().perform();

@menypeled it is depending on your platform

    protected void swipe_iOS(int startx, int starty, int endx, int endy, int duration) {
        swipe(startx, starty, -startx + endx, -starty + endy, duration);
    }

    protected void swipe(int startx, int starty, int endx, int endy, int duration) { // Android ONLY!
        System.out.println("    swipe(" + startx + ", " + starty + ", " + endx + ", " + endy + ")");
        new TouchAction((MobileDriver) driver).press(startx, starty).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(duration)).moveTo(endx, endy).release().perform();
    }

@menypeled but there are best way to scroll:

// iOS scroll by object
    public boolean swipeToDirection_iOS_XCTest(MobileElement el, String direction) {
        try {
            JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
            HashMap<String, String> swipeObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
            if (direction.equals("d")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "down");
            } else if (direction.equals("u")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "up");
            } else if (direction.equals("l")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "left");
            } else if (direction.equals("r")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "right");
            }
            swipeObject.put("element", el.getId());
            js.executeScript("mobile:swipe", swipeObject);
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    public boolean scrollToDirection_iOS_XCTest(MobileElement el, String direction) {
        // The main difference from swipe call with the same argument is that scroll will try to move
        // the current viewport exactly to the next/previous page (the term "page" means the content,
        // which fits into a single device screen)
        try {
            JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
            HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
            if (direction.equals("d")) {
                scrollObject.put("direction", "down");
            } else if (direction.equals("u")) {
                scrollObject.put("direction", "up");
            } else if (direction.equals("l")) {
                scrollObject.put("direction", "left");
            } else if (direction.equals("r")) {
                scrollObject.put("direction", "right");
            }
            scrollObject.put("element", el.getId());
            scrollObject.put("toVisible", "true"); // optional but needed sometimes
            js.executeScript("mobile:scroll", scrollObject);
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

// Android scroll to some text in scroll View

    public boolean tapByText(String text) {
        List<AndroidElement> elementList = driver.findElements(MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator(
                "new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().resourceIdMatches(\".*id/ADD_YOUR_SCOLLER_VIEW_ID\")).setMaxSearchSwipes(5).scrollIntoView("
                + "new UiSelector().text(\"" + text + "\"))"));
        if (elementList.isEmpty())
            return false;
        return tapElement(elementList.get(0)); // tapElement is just custom tap method. use any you know instead.
    }

@ Aleksei I tried the following codes on ios10 with appium 1.6.5 on MacOS 10.11.6.

Dimension size = driver.manage().window().getSize();
int startx = size.getWidth() / 2;
int starty = (int) (size.getHeight() * 0.8);
int endy = (int) (size.getHeight() * 0.2);
driver.swipe(startx, starty, startx, endy, 1000);

TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver);
action.press(startx,starty).waitAction(1000).moveTo(startx,endy).release().perform();

I am getting the below error.

can some one suggest me what I am doing wrong on this.

[swathi]

on javaclient 5,appium is throwing swipe method is not supported.

[menypeled]

Hi,

Though the code seems naive it doesn’t work for me.

This is the function I am using however, it fails (see below log).
What am I missing?

public void swipeUpIpone6Action(IOSDriver driver){
int StartX=200;
int StartY = 150;
int EndX=200;
int EndY = 500;
TouchAction a1 = new TouchAction (driver);
a1.tap(StartX, StartY).moveTo(EndX, EndY).waitAction(2000).release().perform();

[Aleksei]

@menypeled you missed that swipe is different for android and iOS. Look at mine code for differences.

[Vell_Jackson]

What would be the best code to scroll down to another button?

    //Enter the code for "Edit Profile"
    driver.findElement(By.id(editprofile)).click();

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

[Aleksei]

@Vell_Jackson you did not mention platform but e.g. for Android i use mostly UiScrollable

[Vell_Jackson]

@Aleksei Yes sorry about that Im running on Android platform, and I need an example of the code UiScrollable for that spot if you don’t mind.

[Aleksei]

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

[Vell_Jackson]

public

Yes I see your example.

    //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

Hi Aleksei,

I was trying out your code. Initially it will open Settings App in IOS and execute below code. But it is not scrolling to “Battery” option.

public boolean scrollToDirection_iOS_XCTest() {
		MobileElement el = (MobileElement)aDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@value='Battery']"));
		String direction = "d";
        // The main difference from swipe call with the same argument is that scroll will try to move
        // the current viewport exactly to the next/previous page (the term "page" means the content,
        // which fits into a single device screen)
        try {
            JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) aDriver;
            HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
            if (direction.equals("d")) {
                scrollObject.put("direction", "down");
            } else if (direction.equals("u")) {
                scrollObject.put("direction", "up");
            } else if (direction.equals("l")) {
                scrollObject.put("direction", "left");
            } else if (direction.equals("r")) {
                scrollObject.put("direction", "right");
            }
            scrollObject.put("element", el.getId());
            scrollObject.put("toVisible", "true"); // optional but needed sometimes
            js.executeScript("mobile:scroll", scrollObject);
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

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

[mathewkuruvila]

Yes. It was able to find that out.

[raghu_sairam]

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/releases

[ochubey]

Using 5.0.4 and appium 1.7.2

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