How can i swipe horizontally after locating an element using Appium in an Android app?

Question

I have used the following code, but it is not working:

int startX = driver.findElement(By.xpath(\"//*[@class=\'android.widget.FrameLayout\' and @index=\'1\'         


        

Answer 1

Firstly you should try getting location as getLocation()instead of: .getLocation.getY().

Secondly you can implement swipe/scroll in all directions using:

TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver);

        int startY = element1.getLocation().getY() + (element1.getSize().getHeight() / 2);
        int startX = element1.getLocation().getX() + (element1.getSize().getWidth() / 2);

        int endX = element2.getLocation().getX() + (element2.getSize().getWidth() / 2);
        int endY = element2.getLocation().getY() + (element2.getSize().getHeight() / 2);

        action.press(startX, startY).waitAction(2000).moveTo(endX, endY).release().perform();

Answer 2

public void horizontalScroll()
{
    size=driver.manage().window().getSize();
    int x_start=(int)(size.width*0.60);
    int x_end=(int)(size.width*0.30);
    int y=130;
    driver.swipe(x_start,y,x_end,y,4000);
}
