Unable to get "mobile: find" working with java bindings

[Aniket Gadre]

Hi ,

I am trying to use mobile method mobile: find and following is my code. I think I am not sending parameters in correct format

Java Code:

HashMap<String, String> scrollParams = new HashMap<String , String>();

HashMap<String, HashMap<String , String>> scrollListView = new HashMap<String, HashMap<String , String>>();

scrollParams.put("3", "Gallery");

scrollParams.put("7", "Gallery");

scrollListView.put("scroll", scrollParams);

js.executeScript("mobile: find",  scrollListView);

Command fails because of following error:

info: [ADB STDOUT] java.lang.ClassCastException: org.json.JSONObject cannot be cast to org.json.JSONArray

Basically below JSON object is not being typecasted to JSONArray

{"scroll":

{ 

           "3":"Gallery",

  "7":"Gallery"

}

}

Line of failure in Find.Java:

} else if (strategy == Strategy.DYNAMIC) {

      Logger.debug("Finding dynamic.");

      final JSONArray selectors = (JSONArray) params.get("selector");

      final String option = selectors.get(0).toString().toLowerCase();

      final boolean all = option.contentEquals("all");

      Logger.debug("Returning all? " + all);

      UiScrollable scrollable = null;

      final boolean scroll = option.contentEquals("scroll");

      if (scroll) {

        UiSelector scrollableListView = new UiSelector().className(

            android.widget.ListView.class).scrollable(true);

        if (!new UiObject(scrollableListView).exists()) {

          // Select anything that's scrollable if there's no list view.

          scrollableListView = new UiSelector().scrollable(true);

        }

        // Nothing scrollable exists.

        if (!new UiObject(scrollableListView).exists()) {

          return new AndroidCommandResult(WDStatus.NO_SUCH_ELEMENT,

              "No such element.");

        }

        scrollable = new UiScrollable(scrollableListView).setAsVerticalList();

      }

      Logger.debug("Scrolling? " + scroll);

mobile find works with arrays. You need this JSON:

["scroll",[[3,"Gallery"]],[[7,"Gallery"]]]

Doesn't seem to work.. I got below error

.tablet.TabletTitleActivityException in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument is of an illegal type: org.json.JSONArray

There must be some way to pass in a JSONArray directly.

I think you have to subclass driver and then call the protected
execute method that accepts JSON.

hie bro i have used swipe method (swipe up to down ) for scrolling but it is too lengthy .please can uh provide me the code snippet of it please 

[Aniket Gadre]

PFB the code...Here, list can be any Scrollable view

//Scroll the List view

WebElement objListView = driver.findElement(By.tagName("list"));

//ScrollTo Params

HashMap<String, String> objListScroll = new HashMap<String, String>();

objListScroll.put("text", "Gallery");

objListScroll.put("element", ((RemoteWebElement)objListView).getId());

js.executeScript("mobile: scrollTo", objListScroll);

[mummana subramanya]

hiee ,fo me its not working .... i am trying to use contacts and want to find the desired name but in vain ... its getting clicked on keypad every time ...

here is  the snippet of it..

WebElement objListView = driver.findElement(By.tagName("TextView"));

        //ScrollTo Params
        JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

        HashMap<String, String> objListScroll = new HashMap<String, String>();

        objListScroll.put("text","Sameer");
        objListScroll.put("element",((RemoteWebElement)objListView).getId());

        js.executeScript("mobile: scrollTo", objListScroll);

[Aniket Gadre]

TextView cannot be scrolled. It should be a _Scrollable_ view. Check for scrollable view up in hierarchy

[mummana subramanya]

hie , there is no scrollable view in the hierarchy only View is there ...

[Aniket Gadre]

View can be any view with scrollable property as true. It need not necessarily be of class "ScrollableView"

In my case its a "ListView"

[mummana subramanya]

thanks aniket
its working fine but its getting scrolled up instead of  scrolling down  are there any parameters to change? it?

[Aniket Gadre]

As far as I remember, last time I saw the code, it scrolls to top 1st and then starts scrolling down

[mummana subramanya]

but in mine its getting scrolled up for some time and its getting shutdown before finding the element

Hi,

Any update on this? I too am not able to get "driver.executeScript("mobile: find", json);" work for me.
The way out that Aniket suggested doesn't seem to work properly. It keeps trying to scroll up, even though it is at the top of the list.
As mentioned by Aniket it will try to scroll up for the first time but then it should scroll down in the second attempt, instead it keeps scrolling up.

Was any one able to find a solution to it?

Thanks,
Ritika

Hi,

Just to share, I'm using this with and it's working!

My code:

HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();

//Must be an element with scrollable  property; Android (ListView,ScrollabeView) IOS (UIAScrollableView

RemoteWebElement element = (RemoteWebElement) driver.findElement(By.tagName(scrollableElement));

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

String widId = ((RemoteWebElement) element).getId();

 //Text for search on the screen

scrollObject.put("text", text);

scrollObject.put("element", widId);

js.executeScript("mobile: scrollTo", scrollObject);

I was wordering if this text could be a content-desc or a name?

Found a simpler way in Java, here is the code :

public void toSwipeThisTo(String UnString, String OneScroll) throws Exception {

// fonction to close

        WebElement button =  driver.findElementByAccessibilityId(UnString);

        button.click();

        WebElement scrollButton =  driver.findElementByClassName(UIAPickerWheelString);

        scrollButton.sendKeys(OneScroll);
