How to interact with embedded Google map view in Android apps

[Xiaoxing Hu]

Hi there,

I have an Android app which has a Google map view embedded in it. In the app I can manually interact with the map (zoom in, out, tap on the pins and there will be a popup, tap on the popup menu, it will disappear).

How can I do following things in my automation script:

1. Make the map view to move around and zoom in and zoom out.

2. Interact with the popup menu. I extracted the UI source with "uiautomatorviewer", and in the xml structure, I can see the pins and "My Location" button on the right top corner. But I cannot see the popup menu, even it is right there in the map view in the screenshot.

1) You ought to be able to use the touch action API to interact with the map. The overview is here (https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/touch-actions.md) and specifics ought to be found in the specific client implementations.

2) Not sure about this.
