how to scrollTo and swipe with java client 3.2.0 and appium 1.4.13 ?

Hi RGIAPN

There are APIs available in appium java client . you can use these APIs.

// For Scroll

driver.scroll(String);
driver.scrollToExact(String);

// for Swipe

driver.swipe(int fingers, WebElement, duration);
driver.swipe(int fingers, int x, int y, duration);

Hope this will help.:smile::smile:

Swipe is broken in simulators. Check around forum too see some solutions that users have tried.

In real device you should be able to swipe without any problem.

i tried in real device (iPad mini) and swipe doesn’t work, also scrollTo doesn’t work
reply with the swipe code that works on real device

The signature for AppiumDriver swipe is:

public void swipe(int startx, int starty, int endx, int endy, int duration)

You can try directly with TouchAction also or use swipe method in MobileElement.java. Go to https://github.com/appium/java-client/ and search for the terms you want.

Finally you also have selenium swipe.

@Telmo_Cardoso Swipe gesture is not broken anymore in simulator with Xcode 7. It works perfectly on my machine
