Scroll picker wheel

[Esben Rasmussen]

Hi all

I have tried to cope with the picker wheel.
How to scroll with the different wheels?
I want to be able to scroll (in my case) to a specific date.
It could be steps to scroll each wheel individually.

Please see the picker wheel here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21955281/PickerWheel.png

I can make the 1st wheel scroll by sending 'Then I swipe down on
number 1' but I'm not sure how to stop at the right date etc.

Any ideas?

I'll create an api for it tomorrow. If you can't wait for that you can easily create a custom step by putting together the following pieces.

piece 1: getting the currently selected date (as a string)

docs:

https://github.com/calabash/calabash-ios/wiki/01-Getting-started-guide

(explore interactively section)

code:

query("datePicker", "date").first

piece 2: Recording a touch event sequence

docs:

https://github.com/calabash/calabash-ios/wiki/04-Touch-recording-and-playback

code/Action

- record_begin

then you should move down one of the picker wheels

- record_end("picker_down")

put it together:

 q="datePicker scrollView index:1" 

## or index:0, 2, 

playback "picker_down", :query => q

Ok?

Tried it but the query somehow can't find the picker wheel
(scrollview).

irb(main):011:0> q="datepicker scrollview index:1"
=> "datepicker scrollview index:1"
irb(main):012:0> playback "picker_year_up", :query => q
Saved screenshot: screenshot_irb.png
RuntimeError: playback failed because: query datepicker scrollview
index:1 found no views. Is accessibility enabled?

I'll wait and see what you come up with tomorrow - it's late
anyways ;-)

Thanks,

It should be scrollView not scrollview.

But I'll try to make a packaged step tonight.

hi Karl,

did you ever make a packaged step for this?

i have been working with a date picker.  i posted my efforts here: https://gist.github.com/e952bf49099279e3c212

i am interested to see how someone else tried to implement steps for interacting with pickers.

No sorry to say that, embarrassingly, I simply forgot to work on this one :)

It does seem to me that what you've done could be a good starting point for built-in picker support.

For now, I'll add to the wiki of user contributions. With time (or help) I'll integrate something built-in into calabash.
