I think you need some kind of TouchAction. Take a look at this:

Thanks Wreed for your reply. Yes i have tried couple of methods using Touch Actions, but did not work . Below is the code:

public void testSeekbar(){

```
	//Get Start co-ordinate of seek bar
	int start = seek_Bar.getLocation().getX();
	System.out.println(start);
	
	// Get Location of seekbar vertically
	int y = seek_Bar.getLocation().getY();
	System.out.println(y);
	
	// Get Width of Seek Bar
	int end = seek_Bar.getSize().getWidth();
	System.out.println(end);
	
	// Create object of Touch Actions class
	TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver);
	
	// Move it till end
	
	
	action.longPress(start, y).moveTo(end, y).release().perform();
	//action.press(start, y).moveTo(end, y).release().perform();

```

Second one:

Dimension dim = seekbar16.getSize();  
System.out.println(dim);  
int height = dim.getHeight();  
int width = dim.getWidth();  
int x = width/2;  
int top\_y = (int)(height_0.80);  
int bottom\_y = (int)(height_0.20);  
System.out.println(“coordinates :” + x + " "+ top\_y + " "+ bottom\_y);  
driver.swipe(x, top\_y, x, bottom\_y, 5000);  
TouchAction ts = new TouchAction(driver);  
ts.press(x, top\_y).moveTo(x, bottom\_y).release().perform();

None of them is working for me.

I have just done this using this method in the below thread:

Hopefully it works as smoothly for you as it did for me.
