Scroll/Scroll To in AppiumLibrary (android testing)

[Karolina]

Hi, 

I have problem with screen scrolling in my native android app using AppiumLibrary in Robot Framework (ride 1.5.2).

I use two solutions listed below, every time I got the message:

ValueError: Element locator 'id=v_languages' did not match any elements.

1. Using Scroll:

Scroll id=et_first_name id=v_languages

2. Using Scroll To:

Scroll To id=v_languages

ID is for sure correct. 

Any advice what could be wrong?

thx,

K.

[Jari Nurminen]

Hi Karolina,

 

I never got it working either, it fails because the ID to scroll to is not visible on the screen. It works if the ID is on the screen = it scrolls the screen a bit. That is, of course, rather useless like this...

Not 100% sure whether this is a bug, or something that is not yet implemented on appium side. The hits you find with google are rather confusing, at least to me without too much "Appium Internals" knowledge.

But I would be interested about your findings (which version of appium you have tried, in which contexts are you scrolling (Android/iOS + Native/Web)...

 

The workaround I had to implement was: 1) call "swipe" KW + 2) check if the ID is visible, if not goto 1)

 

cheerio,

- Jari -

Hi Jeri,

thanks,It was helpful!

I use Swipe and For Loop, like this:

    : FOR    ${licznik}    IN RANGE    0    5

    \    Swipe    15    600    15    200

    \    ${el}    Run Keyword And Return Status    Wait Until Page Contains Element    ${lokalizator}

    \    log    ${el}

    \    Run Keyword If    ${el}     Exit For Loop

    \    ${licznik}    Set Variable    ${licznik}+1

Next step will be to check the size of the screen in order to the tests were unique, but for now it is enough.:)

Regards,

Karolina

Ugh

Yes I am, in python, this is done:
driver.find_element_by_android_uiautomator(new UiScrollable(new
UiSelector().scrollable(true)).scrollIntoView(new
UiSelector().text("element text goes here")))

Ugh

It depends what you want to do. That selector, text inside of the outermost parentheses, is valid Android uiautomator selector and you should be able to use it with any keyword which accepts uiautomator selectors. All the scrolling logic happens inside of the Android uiautomator and it should not matter what action you/keyword performs when the element is visible.

HI all,

   

     I am using appium version 1.7, Robot framework and AppiumLibrary.

I tried so many options to scoll in Android but nothing helped.

Tablet  tries-

# No error didn't work

AppiumLibrary.Scroll Down    id=quick-view-container

# Method not implemented error

AppiumLibrary.Scroll    id=inqC2CImgContainer    id=quick-view-container

# Swipe - error method not implemented

AppiumLibrary.Swipe    100    100    1000    100

iPad tries-

Scroll worked for native app such as Settings on iPad but didn't work for Android native app.

    Trials for website. 

        # - error - can't scroll to element that does not exists. (I know element exists for sure)

AppiumLibrary.Scroll    id=inqC2CImgContainer    id=quick-view-container

# No Error but didn't actually scroll down

AppiumLibrary.Scroll Down    id=quick-view-container

# Swipe - No error but it doesn't actually swipes. It swiped but does something weird. 

AppiumLibrary.Swipe    300    300    300    1000

All of you who have found solution for this please please help me.. Many of my tests are stuck for this scroll and swipe issue.

Thanks

Priti

Hi Tanu,

Could you please suggest me how to achieve this using python? If possible could you please share code snippet.

Hello

this one is working for me :

def scroll_to(text):
    get_driver_instance().find_element_by_android_uiautomator(
        "new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView("
        "new UiSelector().textContains(\""+text+"\").instance(0))")

Hi Flora,

Thanks for helping me out. But still not able to achieve the scrolling. 

Writing the python code and try to write the keyword using this code but still getting same error. 

import os
from appium import webdriver
from robot.libraries.BuiltIn import BuiltIn
from appium.webdriver.common.touch_action import TouchAction


class Andy():
    desired_caps = {
        'appPackage': 'com.pision.debug',
        'appActivity': 'com.pision.android.activities.Splash',
        'platformName': 'Android',
        'platformVersion': 6,
        'deviceName': 'SORS9LY54HEA4SFE',
        'app': ('/Users/reenupanwar/Desktop/AppBuild/P20190211.apk')
    }


APPIUM_LOCAL_HOST_URL = 'http://localhost:4723/wd/hub'
driver = webdriver.Remote(APPIUM_LOCAL_HOST_URL, desired_caps)
actions = TouchAction(driver)


def get_driver_instance(self):

    driver = BuiltIn().get_library_instance('AppiumLibrary')
    return driver._current_application()

def scroll_to(xpath):
    xpath="xpath=//android.widget.TextView[@text='Check this out']"
    get_driver_instance().find_element_by_android_uiautomator(
        "new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView("
        "new UiSelector().textContains(\"" + xpath + "\").instance(0))")

Ugh

You can't join two different selector types. The selector must be same and single type, in this case uiautomator

Hi Tanu,

If possible could you please send code snippet please Or If possible can you update my code..!

I have achieved the screen scrolling using the Swipe up the keyword, but it not good approach.

Swipe Up
	${element_size}= Get Element Size id=sample_content_fragment
	${element_location}= Get Element Location id=sample_content_fragment
	${start_x}= Evaluate ${element_location['x']} + (${element_size['width']} * 0.5)
	${start_y}= Evaluate ${element_location['y']} + (${element_size['height']} * 0.7)
	${end_x}= Evaluate ${element_location['x']} + (${element_size['width']} * 0.5)
	${end_y}= Evaluate ${element_location['y']} + (${element_size['height']} * 0.3)
	Swipe ${start_x} ${start_y} ${end_x} ${end_y} 500
	Sleep 1

Thanks & Regards
