Solution

  • These are the methods for your needs for iOS and Android:

    private JavascriptExecutor js;
private HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<>();

void iosScrollToAnElement(IOSElement el) {
        scrollObject.put("direction", "down");
        scrollObject.put("element", el.getId());
        js.executeScript("mobile: swipe", scrollObject);
}

void androidScrollToAnElementByText(String text) {
        try {
            ((AndroidDriver)driver).findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView(new UiSelector().text(\"" + text + "\").instance(0))");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new NoSuchElementException("No element" + e);
        }
    }

    after this you need to click() on your particular element that you are looking for. (there methods only for scrolling)
