[iOS] How to write "flick" function in Java

[Anson Liao]

Dear All,

As a new Appiummer and some function don't know how to code in Java.

I would like to the Flick function and how to code a swipe gesture in iOS app.

I refer to Appium sample code in Java, and found the simplest code is "flick(0, -20)".

I check flick api in Selenium website, and found that:

xSpeed - The horizontal speed in pixels/second

ySpeed - The vertical speed in pixels/second

so, ySpeed = -20, what it means?

and I would like to implement a swipe gesture in Appium of Java, the swipe is from right to left to switch to "Next" page, my some trying java code as below, but it nothing happen the Java script run.

TouchActions swipe = new TouchActions(wd).flick(-200, 0); TouchActions swipe = new TouchActions(wd).flick(200, 0);

How I should code in Flick function?

and if need to swipe by two finger touch point, how I can code in Java?

Thanks.

You have to call a perform after the flick e.g.

public void swipeToLeft() {

TouchActions flick = new TouchActions(driver).flick(page, -100, 0, 0);

flick.perform();

}

I usually swipe on a webelement though - don't really remember why

Yes, sir, I wrote the perform code, but nothing happen.

Not sure. Try and debug by:

1. Changing the webelement you are swiping

2. Enter different values for the x y coordinates and speed

3. Make sure you can swipe on device manually

4. Check what's outputted in the appium log
