Using the scrollTo(String text) and scrollToExact(String text) method of Android Driver. However the scrolling is done for the entire contact list first downwards and then upwards but it does not scroll upto the string text provided and in the end throws error-
Code below:
public class test2 {
//public WebDriver driver;
public AppiumDriver driver1;
@BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException{
//Set up desired capabilities and pass the Android app-activity and app-package to Appium
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "5.0
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "4763f751");
capabilities.setCapability("device", "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.android.contacts");
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.android.contacts.activities.PeopleActivity");
//Create RemoteWebDriver instance and connect to the Appium server.
driver1 = new AndroidDriver (new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
}
@Test
public void testCal() throws Exception {
WebElement clk=driver1.findElement(By.name("some contact name here"));
String txt= clk.getText();
driver1.scrollTo(txt);
}
@AfterClass //driver1.quit ();
}
pls help on how to overcome this thing
checked the post … want to know one thing where to make these changes.
public MobileElement scrollTo(String text) {
Create a library function in your source tree and call it whereever you would call the Appium funciton.
Feel free to try the following approach as well, it works 100% for me in prod environment.
public void scrollTo(String selector) {
String selectorString = String.format("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView("+ selector +")");
driver.findElement(MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator(selectorString));
}
The difference is that I’m passing both UiScrollable and UiSelector as a string, rather than use the AndroidDriver’s UiScrollable on a UiSelector string.
Tried this approach…however i m runnig into exception error.
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.
you need to pass a UiSelector, not a string.
so instead of Ambulance, pass " new UiSelector().text(“Ambulance”) "
or
replace
String selectorString = String.format(“new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView(”+ selector +")");
with
String selectorString = String.format(“new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView(new UiSelector().text(”+ selector +"))");
But that limits your searching to text only. With the previous approach you can pick what you want ot search for, be it content description, class, resource id, child of a selector, parent etc.
Tried both approach and now i get this error.
org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: The requested resource could not be found, or a request was received using an HTTP method that is not supported by the mapped resource.
*** Element info: {Using=-android uiautomator, value=new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView(new UiSelector().text(Ambulance))}
are you sure there’s a scrollable element on the screen?
Yes.
earlier when i used the Android Driver Api Method- scrollTo(String text), it was getting scrolled continuously first downwards then upwards and then through exception after 2 min.
so tried your approach but still i m not able to get this done

Following is end to end code you can try, Just change the name that you are looking:
public class scrollToForElement
{
public AndroidDriver driver1;
@BeforeClass
public void setUp()
{
//Set up desired capabilities and pass the Android app-activity and app-package to Appium
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Testing");
capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.android.contacts");
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.android.contacts.activities.PeopleActivity");
//Create RemoteWebDriver instance and connect to the Appium server.
try
{
driver1 = new AndroidDriver (new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
driver1.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Test
public void testCal() throws Exception
{
String str="Franklin";
// driver1.scrollTo(str);
driver1.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView(new UiSelector().textContains(\""+str+"\").instance(0))");
driver1.quit();
}
}

ohh WoW !!!
heyall,
i tried the followings
dr.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView(new UiSelector().textContains(\""+symbol+"\").instance(0))");
driver.scrolltoexact(“Text”);
HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
none of the above are working fine for me…
Please provide the appium server log so we can better understand the failure
please find the script and logs
please find the script and logs
appium logs:
info: [debug] [BOOTSTRAP] [debug] Returning result: {“status”:7,“value”:“No element found”}

I hope you know this, Android automation is possible by UIAutomatior. The following is the statement in Android Automator
new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView(new UiSelector().textContains("“+str+”").instance(0))
The same is passed in driver.findByUIAutomator.
@UD
What is the iOS alternative for scrollTo() method ?
