Hi Team

  • Platform is Android
  • Appium version : 1.5
  • Emulator/Simulator or Real Device : Real Device
  • Client langauage (language binding) : java
  • OS : Windows

I have a scenario where i need to to perform an auto refresh by pulling up the app which is when the loader comes and updates the feeds.

  1. Open app
  2. Capture the photo
  3. Post the image which has been captured
  4. Goto the feed screen
  5. Now on this screen i need to pull the app so that the auto refresh loader comes and updates the feeds with the new data.

If someone is able to do it can please reply me for the step 5

according to your description app must itself refresh feeds.

how you imaging we can force app to refresh screen?

if your app will refresh screen on resume try:

try{driver.runAppInBackground(1);} catch (Exception e) {}
3

Actually once you have successfully posted the image then you need to go to feed screen and pull the screen from up to down so that you can get the latest feeds which you have posted.

so do swipe from up do down
