Scroll by bounds not working in a page after it worked in the previous page

Issues/Bugs
1

So l am using the below by bounds method in a page(Lets call this page page 1)

public static void scrollByBounds(AndroidDriver driver, int startX, int startY, int endX, int endY) {
        System.out.println("🔄 Scrolling from [" + startX + "," + startY + "] to [" + endX + "," + endY + "]");

        Dimension screenSize = driver.manage().window().getSize();
        int screenWidth = screenSize.width;
        int screenHeight = screenSize.height;

        System.out.println("📱 Screen size: Width=" + screenWidth + ", Height=" + screenHeight);

        // Ensure the coordinates are within screen bounds
        if (startX < 0 || startY < 0 || endX > screenWidth || endY > screenHeight) {
            System.out.println("❌ Invalid coordinates! Adjusting...");
            startX = Math.max(0, Math.min(startX, screenWidth - 1));
            startY = Math.max(0, Math.min(startY, screenHeight - 1));
            endX = Math.max(0, Math.min(endX, screenWidth - 1));
            endY = Math.max(0, Math.min(endY, screenHeight - 1));
        }

        PointerInput finger = new PointerInput(PointerInput.Kind.TOUCH, "finger1");
        Sequence swipe = new Sequence(finger, 1);

        swipe.addAction(finger.createPointerMove(Duration.ZERO, PointerInput.Origin.viewport(), startX, startY));
        swipe.addAction(finger.createPointerDown(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()));
        swipe.addAction(finger.createPointerMove(Duration.ofMillis(1000), PointerInput.Origin.viewport(), endX, endY));
        swipe.addAction(finger.createPointerUp(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()));

        driver.perform(Collections.singletonList(swipe));

        System.out.println("✅ Scrolling complete!");
    }

l then call the method in the test class like this scrollByBounds(driver, 32, 1580, 688, 190);

This works well in page 1 but does not work in page 2.
ln page 2 l have also tried to scroll using

WebElement webViewElement = driver.findElement(AppiumBy.androidUIAutomator(
                "new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true)).scrollIntoView(new UiSelector().textContains(\"No 2 Ikoyi Road Lagos\"))"
        ))

it scrolls but bounces back up after getting to the target element or does not get to the target element sometimes.

swipe, scrollgestures and flintgestures are not working on the page. l need help with this as l have tried solving for it for days now. Thanks

eee this does not look good.

  1. Scrolling logic
  • when we scroll Left - Right: Y should be same, X different
  • when we scroll Up - Down: X should be same, Y different

  1. Add bounds. Does not start from ZERO and end MAX. Add bounds e.g. 10 or 20 pixels so ZERO now 10, MAX = MAX - 10

  2. If you are with Android enable in debug mode to show touches and coordinates. It will help you see where it actually happens.

Hi @Aleksei thank you for your response. First question is how would you suggest l scroll in android. l have used 2 methods the first is the bounds you see. it works in the first page but does not work in the second
Second method is UI scrollable, that works too but it bounces back up. How would you scroll in android @Aleksei

Both methods are fine and many depends on your app. Only your experience with your app help you to choose…
