How to perform scroll and flick with Appium for Android

[Lieping Xie]

Just using Appium 0.9.0 and Python on Windows for Android testing, most of the elements identification are working but scroll and flick is not.

When using scroll method in selenium.webdriver.common.touch_actions, the server gives the response that method is not implemented.

When using flick/flick_element method in selenium.webdriver.common.touch_actions, the server always gives the response that 'Flick did not complete successfully'

You'll want to use mobile: swipe and mobile: flick for now.

Any help?

well, like that you can avoid the error, the swipe works for me:

Swipe('0.1', '0.5') #to the left

def Swipe(endX, endY, startX = '0.5', startY = '0.5', duration = '0.5') : print 'Swiping...' try: driver.execute_script('mobile: swipe', {'duration': duration, 'startX': startX, 'startY': startY, 'endX': endX, 'endY': endY}) except: print 'There is still bug in Appium. But guest swipe should work.' sleep(1)
