What have you tried so far? I’ve written a basic tutorial for element-relative-swipes and screen orientation that might be helpful:

Screen orientation and element-relative swiping tutorial

This is reposted from the appium-discuss google group at Jonah’s request, slightly modified to make more sense out of context, and with a simple code snippet. All examples are in java/junit terminology, but they should be usable in your language of choice with a bit of translating. First, the AppiumDriver has a getOrientation() method that will return a ScreenOrientation object. The ScreenOrientation object has a value() method that returns either “portrait” or “landscape”. So you can pretty…

If that doesn’t work for you, come back with some more detail on what you’re trying to do, what you’ve tried, and the relevant Appium/Android/Language details.

Thanks,

Hi Hank,

You are Awesome… It worked… Was trying to find the solution since 2 days… You made it easy… Big thank you…

I have another question…
Is there any way to find the toast messages… UIAautomator is not recognising…

than you,
Zetendra L

I’m not sure on that one, I haven’t done any work on interacting with toasts. Given that they’re temporary, and not intended to be user-interactable, I’d be very hesitant to try to automate testing for a Toast object.

Appium automation is not very speedy, and I would expect that any test that specifically targeted a Toast would be inconsistent unless the toast lasted for a significant amount of time.

That said, these resources might be helpful:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Toast.html

It looks like it would be an instance of android.widget.Toast, so perhaps you could use
driver.findElement(By.className("android.widget.Toast"))
I wouldn’t expect there to be more than one toast on screen at a time, but like I said earlier, I would be surprised to get consistent results unless your toast stays up for a long time.

Thanks,
Hank

I was able to get toast messages working via the following general steps:

1. Perform action to trigger the toast message to appear on screen
2. Take x number of screenshots
3. Increase resolutions of all screenshots
4. Use tessearct OCR to detect the toast message.
