Swipe/Scroll best practice with Java-Client 5

Support
17

If somebody looking for solution for Swipe, Scroll for native apps on Android and iOS this is how I achieved

Android

  1. Based on co-ordinates technique

new TouchAction(driver).press(115, 650).waitAction(ofSeconds(1)).moveTo(115, 350).release().perform();

  1. Not sure if it’s possible to do with particular element ?

iOS

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
HashMap<String, String> swipeObject = new HashMap<String, String>();

  1. Method 1

        swipeObject.put("element", mobileElementToTakeActionUpon.getId());
    swipeObject.put("direction", "up");
    js.executeScript("mobile: swipe", swipeObject);

limitation - does more swipe than expected

  1. Method 2

         swipeObject.put("element", itemsViewTopRow.getId());
     swipeObject.put("direction", "down");
     swipeObject.put("toVisible", "true");
     js.executeScript("mobile: scroll", swipeObject);

  2. Co-ordinates based

         swipeObject.put("direction", "down"); //up for swipe
     swipeObject.put("startX", "90");
     swipeObject.put("startY", "400");
     swipeObject.put("endX", "90"); //"90");
     swipeObject.put("endY", "350"); //"200");
     swipeObject.put("duration", "2000");
     //js.executeScript("mobile: swipe", swipeObject); 
     js.executeScript("mobile: scroll", swipeObject);

limitation - does more swipe than expected
