Is there any ways for appium to scroll and find element automatically?

[fiona]

Hi there,

I have a long ListView, and it contains several element that i could click on. but cell phone only show part of them on screen once, and then I need to scroll the list up/down to find the exactly element that i want to click.

I remembered that, webdriver could be done it automatically, i tried it by appium, it seems doesnt work, is there any solutions for this? or i just can use it by drag/swipe the view?...

thanks~

I would use swipe to navigate. There's also mobile: scrollTo which has the purpose of scrolling to a specific element.

hi Jonathan,

seemed that the element should be visible then i could use scroll to? 

my code is like this, it doesnt work, appium said could not locate the element

HashMap<String, String> swipeObject = new HashMap<String, String>();

swipeObject.put("element", Name);

js.executeScript("mobile: scrollTo", swipeObject);

What is "Name" here? The value of 'element' needs to be the element's internal ID. See the gestures.md docs for more Java examples.

Depending on how long the list is, you can use mobile:Find.  For extremely large lists you will probably have to write your own method that uses swipes.

Something that determines which direction to swipe (is first visible element > or < you desired element), and then swiping appropriate distances and checking for the value.  It will be a little slow regardless, but there are probably a few clever solutions our there.

Personally I store all visible values in a data structure and check if my element exists, if not I scroll an amount that presents me with new elements.

hi Joel, 

I tried mobile:Find, it doesnt work, so i need to write my own method to do this, right?

Hi ,

its hard to get the internal Id on windows...is there any other ways to do this?

football is not visible at first in the list view, the console said "No element find" , so how could i do this?

WebElement row = driver.findElement(By.name("football"));

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

HashMap<String, String> swipeObject = new HashMap<String, String>();

swipeObject.put("element", ((RemoteWebElement) row).getId());

js.executeScript("mobile: scrollTo", swipeObject);

 driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(40, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

The pattern I am using in ruby using appium_lib is

scroll_to element_text unless exists {s_text element_text }
s_text element_text

Hi fiona,

Did you have found a solution for this?

I'm facing the same issue here... I created a method that search the element but is too flaky :(

Calling mobile: scrollTo in java doesn't work.

[bootstrap online]

mobile find on android works.

I was able to get scrollTo working:
