How to Scroll down to click a particular element using Appium as scrollTo is not working

Question

I'm trying to scroll down and click on some element in setting, but as scrollTo is not working I'm not able to proceed

package Test1;
import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.TouchAction;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import net.sourceforge.htmlunit.corejs.javascript.ScriptableObject;

import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.Dimension;
import org.openqa.selenium.Point;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import java.io.File;
import java.net.URL;
public class MobileFindJavaTest {
private AppiumDriver<WebElement> driver;

@BeforeMethod
 @Test
public void setUp() throws Exception {
File classpathRoot = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
File appDir = new File(classpathRoot, "/Apps/slide/");
File app = new File(appDir, "ApiDemos-debug.apk");

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName","BECUPJTWGA7HAQQK");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "5");

capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.android.settings");
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", ".Settings");
driver = new AndroidDriver<>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), c         Capabilities);


    //driver.scrollTo("Views");
    TouchAction touchAction4 = new TouchAction(driver);
    touchAction4.press(30,40).moveTo(89,51).release();
    driver.performTouchAction(touchAction4);
    System.out.println("gaurav");
    driver.findElementByName("Feature").click();

}

}

driver.scrollTo is showing not supported , now how to scroll down and click because the element which i want to click is not there on the screen , we need to scroll for it

MobileElement radioGroup = (MobileElement) wd

            .findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector()"

            + ".resourceId(\"com.android.settings:id/title\")).scrollIntoView("

            + "new UiSelector().text(\"Feature\"));");
            radioGroup.click();

i tried in this way also but it is not scrolling...the setting opens and that's it

Answer 1

You can scroll using below code snippet:

public void scroll() {
    Dimension dimensions = driver.manage().window().getSize();
    int Startpoint = (int) (dimensions.getHeight() * 0.5);
    int scrollEnd = (int) (dimensions.getHeight() * 0.5);
    driver.swipe(200, Startpoint,200,scrollEnd,2000); 
}

You can have some condition upto which this method can be called and once your condition is met, scrolling will stop and you can perform desired action. Something like:

while(condition){
    scroll();
}

P.S.: You can modify value of 0.5 as required, I used the value as required in my case.
