Setup:
Appium : 1.3.4.1
Appium java client : 2…2.0
Selenium cleint : 2.43.1
Device : Android Emulator with API Level 18/19
AUT : QuickPic (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&hl=en)

The program source code :

public class AndroidTest {
private AppiumDriver driver;

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
     DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
    capabilities.setCapability("deviceName","Android Emulator");
    capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "4.3");
    capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.alensw.PicFolder");
    capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", ".GalleryActivity");
    driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
}

@After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
    driver.quit();
}

@Test
public void apiDemo() throws Exception{

	TouchAction action0=new TouchAction(driver).press(400,600).moveTo(400,700).release();
	TouchAction action1=new TouchAction(driver).press(400,600).moveTo(400,500).release();
	MultiTouchAction mAction=new MultiTouchAction(driver);
	mAction.add(action0).add(action1);		
	
    WebElement el =driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Mode");
    el.click();
	el =driver.findElement(By.name("List"));
	el.click();
	
	//click on an album
	driver.tap(1,83,217,1);
	Thread.sleep(5000);
	
	//click on first picture in the album
	driver.tap(1,80,194,1);
	Thread.sleep(10000);
	
	//zoom has no impact where as the operation is indicated as pass.
	el =driver.findElement(By.className("android.view.View"));				
	((MobileElement)(el)).zoom();		
	
	//This too does not work.
	mAction.perform();					
	Thread.sleep(5000);

	//This too does not work.
	driver.zoom(400,600);		
}

}

The issue being faced:

The zoom function on mobile element or the zoom function on the driver instance also zoom function constructed using the multi touch functionality fail to zoom the picture. however the appium server reports as success.

I tried the swipe and tap feature using muti touch api’s it works.
Please note the zoom and pinch both function well with python appium client code.

I came across one post where a person was facing similar issue as mine but otherwise it looks like the zoom functionality working for most of you.

Kindly help. It means a lot.

Please let me know if there are any other details you would need to help me out. Good day.

The documentation at the link http://appium.github.io/java-client/io/appium/java_client/TouchAction.html#moveTo(int,%20int) says (x,y) are absolute
screen co-ordinates.

public TouchAction moveTo(int x,
int y)
Move current touch to an absolute position on the screen
Parameters:
x - x coordinate
y - y coordinate
Returns:
this TouchAction, for chaining

However the description in the source code at the link https://github.com/appium/java-client/blob/master/src/main/java/io/appium/java_client/TouchAction.java says the (x,y) are
offset the current touch co-ordinates.

/**

  • Move current touch to a new position relative to the current position on
  • the screen. If the current position of this TouchAction is (xOld, yOld),
  • then this method will move the TouchAction to (xOld + x, yOld + y).
  • @param x change in x coordinate to move through
  • @param y change in y coordinate to move through
  • @return this TouchAction, for chaining
    */
    public TouchAction moveTo(int x, int y) {
    ActionParameter action = new ActionParameter(“moveTo”);
    action.addParameter(“x”, x);
    action.addParameter(“y”, y);
    parameterBuilder.add(action);
    return this;
    }

To debug the issue I enabled the “Pointer location” and “show touch” options under “developer options”. In the old code I have posted for moveTo() i had provided exact co-ordinates on the screen to move the touch from.

TouchAction action0=new TouchAction(driver).longPress(400,600).moveTo(400,700).release();
TouchAction action1=new TouchAction(driver).longPress(400,600).moveTo(400,500).release();
MultiTouchAction mAction=new MultiTouchAction(driver);
mAction.add(action0).add(action1);

Then I changed the moveTo() arguments as offset to current touch as well as the second initial touch co-ordinate slightly different from first one as (410,600). This two corrections together performed the zoom operation successfully.

TouchAction action0=new TouchAction(driver).longPress(400,600).moveTo(0,100).release();
TouchAction action1=new TouchAction(driver).longPress(410,600).moveTo(0,-100).release();
MultiTouchAction mAction=new MultiTouchAction(driver);
mAction.add(action0).add(action1);

The issue with Appiumdriver.zoom(x,y) seem to different as it still doesn’t work for me. But looking at the logs one can examine if something fishy.

I am suspecting MobileElement.zoom() related issue is due to initial touch co-ordinates being same(center of the element).

So I believe there is a need to correct the documentation for moveTo(x,y) ? Not fully aware of the issue with other two cases of zoom described above.

Kindly correct me if you do not agree. Good day.

even i too tried zoom functionality is not working so i used MultiTouchAction Method its working fine

Just before using zoom and pinch ,
just give a single touch to the element that you need to zoom in or pinch
Here is what i have done and works perfectly…

List imageParent = (List) getDriver().findElements(By.className(“android.support.v4.view.ViewPager”));
WebElement imageChild = imageParent.get(0).findElement(By.className(“android.widget.ImageView”));
firstScreenShot=image.screenshot(imageChild);
int leftX = imageChild.getLocation().getX();
int rightX = leftX + imageChild.getSize().getWidth();
int upperY = imageChild.getLocation().getY();
int lowerY = upperY + imageChild.getSize().getHeight();
int middleY = (upperY + lowerY) / 2;
int middleX = (leftX + rightX) / 2;
TouchAction action0=new TouchAction(getDriver()).press(middleX,middleY).release();
action0.perform();
getDriver().zoom(middleX,middleY);
:wink:

Pinch and zoom method are not working as expected for me with Gallery and Google maps application. Nothing happens when zoom is called. Pinch method just scrolls the image. Below is the code I am using to do zoom and pinch.

TouchAction action0=new TouchAction(getDriver()).press(396,532).release();
action0.perform();
mobileView.zoom(396,532);
Thread.sleep(3000);
mobileView.pinch(396,532);

The given x, y coordinates are of center of the screenshot. I have enabled show location option in developer settings to find the locator.

Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated.
