Hi Team, we are using leapwork mobile automation and through that we tried to perform the swipe right operation on the WMA app ![image](https://discuss.appium.io/uploads/default/original/2X/8/8b84de8587a901d2896e0a5d503cd4b63c9479de.png) Steps to perform. Open the app click on demo mode click on Purchase Receive, in this window we are performing swipe right . Below is the code which we are using var inputDevice = new PointerInputDevice(PointerKind.Touch, MobileConstants.SwipeTouch); var swipeActionSequence = new ActionSequence(inputDevice, 0); var swipeDuration = GetSwipeDuration(); var center = GetElementCenter(); executor.Log.Debug($“Element center calculated at ({center.X}, {center.Y}).”); var destination = GetTouchDestination(center); executor.Log.Debug($“Touch destination calculated at ({destination.X}, {destination.Y}).”); //Creating swipe sequence swipeActionSequence.AddAction(inputDevice.CreatePointerMove(CoordinateOrigin.Viewport, center.X, center.Y, TimeSpan.Zero)); swipeActionSequence.AddAction(inputDevice.CreatePointerDown(PointerButton.TouchContact)); swipeActionSequence.AddAction(inputDevice.CreatePause(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(MoveToDelayMilliseconds))); swipeActionSequence.AddAction(inputDevice.CreatePointerMove(CoordinateOrigin.Viewport, destination.X, destination.Y, swipeDuration)); swipeActionSequence.AddAction(inputDevice.CreatePointerUp(PointerButton.TouchContact)); //Performing swipe action sequence executor.Driver.PerformActions(new List { swipeActionSequence }); executor.Log.Debug(“Swipe actions performed successfully.”); here for swipe, we tried to pass custom swipe value to 50, sometimes it works as expectd and sometimes it does not work. Kindly assist me. FYI @mykola-mokhnach@Aleksei@wreed ---

try: 1 make sure animation stopped before swipe. e.g. disable animation on device or in driver capabilities or add delay after previours swipe happens. 2 enable see touches and coordinates on Android device and check when and how actually swipe happens. 3 when swipe fails → try manually with same touches. I often saw that some app areas are not sensibly and swipe just not starting. ---

Hi, thank you for the reply. The problem is that out of 10 times, it swipes perfectly fine for 3-4 times. but not able to get to know why it fails rest of the time. I tried to compare the coordinates too, that are also same but still fails ---

Try to apply a mobile gesture as a possible alternative: [appium-uiautomator2-driver/docs/android-mobile-gestures.md at master · appium/appium-uiautomator2-driver · GitHub](https://github.com/appium/appium-uiautomator2-driver/blob/master/docs/android-mobile-gestures.md) ---
