Hi,

I just tried this and it worked:

new TouchAction(driver).press(300,550).release().perform().press(300,550).release().perform()

@Telmo_Cardoso for me it is working as action itself BUT it gives error. In Appium logs i see next tap goes to double coordinates = outside mine screen

Thus for me it is working old way as:

new TouchAction((MobileDriver) driver).press(x,y).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(50)).release().perform();
new TouchAction((MobileDriver) driver).press(x,y).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(50)).release().perform();

   doubleTapElement(): x - 314, y - 1875

Hi,

yes. I see it appeared an error in logs also but it worked. Doing two separated actions for me it taps twice, but it is not quick enough to be considered double tap.

Also quickly tried multitouch, but it didnt’ work, and I just dont have time to explore it further, but I encourage @Al_Imran to try several alternatives.

shivam0406 · May 23, 2017, 7:07am

you can also use driver.tap() method as well for tapping two time.

Al_Imran · May 24, 2017, 5:31am

Thanks a lot @Telmo_Cardoso, It’s working cool

Al_Imran · May 24, 2017, 5:33am

You can try @Telmo_Cardoso’s solution, It’s working fine. Thanks

Mayuresh_Shirodkar · October 5, 2017, 9:35am

This worked for me.

new TouchAction(driver).press(100,300).release().perform().waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(100)).press(100,300).release().perform();

rasha-cse · July 25, 2018, 7:08am

None of the above solution is working for me for android! All of them are serving double click/tap with consecutive manner which are basically two single clicks/taps.

new TouchAction(driver).doubleTap(ElementOption.element(doubleTap)).release().perform();

Is this applicable for iOS only? Given at http://appium.io/docs/en/commands/interactions/touch/double-tap/

I am using this dependency

<groupId>io.appium</groupId>
<artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
<version>6.1.0</version>

Prasidh_Shrivastava · September 30, 2018, 3:20pm

Now in the latest version of Appium that is 6.1.0 things has changed for mobile actions. To work on mobile actions there is a class AndroidTouchAction/ IOSTouchAction.
Below is the code for some actions:

//Tap
AndroidTouchAction touch = new AndroidTouchAction(driver);
touch.tap(ElementOption.element(element)).perform();

//Press
AndroidTouchAction touch = new AndroidTouchAction(driver);
touch.press(ElementOption.element(element)).waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofSeconds(3))).release().perform();

//Long Press
AndroidTouchAction touch = new AndroidTouchAction(driver);
touch.longPress(ElementOption.element(element)).release().perform();

//Swipe
AndroidTouchAction touch = new AndroidTouchAction(driver);
touch.longPress(ElementOption.element(driver.findElementByXPath("//[@content-desc=‘15’]"))).moveTo(ElementOption.element(driver.findElementByXPath("//[@content-desc=‘45’]"))).release().perform();

//Scroll
driver.findElementsByAndroidUIAutomator(“new UiScrollable(new UiSelector()).scrollIntoView(text(“yourText”));”);

//Drag and drop
AndroidTouchAction touch = new AndroidTouchAction(driver);
touch.longPress(ElementOption.element(element)).moveTo(ElementOption.element()).release().perform();

Hope this will help

Thanks,
Prasidh

//Double Tap On Element
new TouchAction(androiddriver).press(PointOption.point(element.getLocation().getX(),element.getLocation().getY())).waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofMillis(100))).release().perform();
new TouchAction(androiddriver).press(PointOption.point(element.getLocation().getX(),element.getLocation().getY())).waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofMillis(100))).release().perform();

//Double Tap By Screen
org.openqa.selenium.Dimension size = androiddriver.manage().window().getSize();
// calculate coordinates for vertical swipe
int startVerticalY = (int) (size.height * 0.8);
int endVerticalY = (int) (size.height * 0.21);
int startVerticalX = (int) (size.width / 2.1);
new TouchAction(androiddriver).press(PointOption.point(startVerticalX,startVerticalY)).waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofMillis(100))).release().perform();
new TouchAction(androiddriver).press(PointOption.point(startVerticalX,startVerticalY)).waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofMillis(100))).release().perform();

@Telmo_Cardoso Worked for me too.Thanks!

Al_Imran · December 23, 2020, 6:00pm

Latest solution:

new AndroidTouchAction((PerformsTouchActions) driver).press(PointOption.point(360, 710)).release().perform().press(PointOption.point(360, 710)).release().perform();

riponalwasim · July 2, 2021, 1:56pm

In my case, There was shown error in press method without using PointOption.point(). So I used the following java Appium code & worked for me:

new TouchAction(driver).press(PointOption.point(328, 185)).release().perform().press(PointOption.point(338, 185)).release().perform();

Telmo_Cardoso · July 4, 2021, 10:08am

Yeah… java client changed since 2017
