scroll_to an element

[Ian H]

Hi,

Is it possible on android to scroll_to an element, I don't mean using that exact method but is there a workaround for this?

And example of what I have done using calabash iOS:

scroll_to_row("view:'UITableView'", i)

or

 def scroll_to_(element, dir, limit)
      unless exists(element)
        count = 0
        begin
          scroll("scrollView index:0", dir)
          sleep(STEP_PAUSE)
          count = count + 1
        end while ((not exists(element)) and count < limit.to_i)
      end
    end

I need to do something similar for android but not been successful in this.  Bit cheeky but has anyone else done something like this for android??

Thanks,
Ian

actually, ignore part of the above - what I am seeking is something that tells me that I am at the end of of table, or I have reached the last cell in a table?

If that is not clear then here is another example from my ios tests:
 at_the_bottom = false
    while (!at_the_bottom)
      scroll_table_vew(0, "down")
      displayed_assets = get_view_text('artist')
      assets = assets | displayed_assets.to_a
      at_the_bottom = query("tableViewCell").count == 0
    end

thanks,
Ian

Ian,

I think we can do something with query. Let me take a look at get back.

Are there any answers on this?

I have a test working when I am running on emulator, but failing when on real hardware.

The table is filled in a TableLayout, but I can't see it. When I run the console and ask for all elements (Query "*") I can't see the TableLayout, and I can only see the visible parts of the table (some of them are scrolled out).

So, do there exists an Android counterpart to

    query("tableView","numberOfSections") - which work on iOS.

Here is what we have been using to find elements in the screen.

# Finds and returns an element in a list even if the element is not on screen.
# You specify the element by the query parameter. The function scrolls down the list the element is found.
# If the element can't be found an empty array is returned
def find_in_list(query_string, list_view="android.widget.ListView")
  query_result = query(query_string)
  current_screen_state = query('*')
  prev_screen_state = []
  lv=query(list_view)
  while (query_result.empty? and current_screen_state != prev_screen_state)
    prev_screen_state = current_screen_state
    if lv.empty?
      scroll_down
      else
      scroll(list_view,:down) #perform_action('scroll_down')
      end
    query_result = query(query_string)
    current_screen_state = query('*')
    sleep 0.5
  end

  query_result = query(query_string)
  current_screen_state = query('*')
  prev_screen_state = []
  while (query_result.empty? and current_screen_state != prev_screen_state)
    prev_screen_state = current_screen_state
    if lv.empty?
      scroll_up
    else
      scroll(list_view,:up) #perform_action('scroll_down')
    end
    query_result = query(query_string)
    current_screen_state = query('*')
    sleep 0.5
  end

  query_result
end
