To perform swiping from left to right , right to left , bottom to top and top to bottom first we required to find coordinates of (x and y axis) of the device.
By using get_window_size() method we can find the device height and width. Then we can create starting and ending X , Y coordinates and swipe the screen of the device.
We need to turn on the pointer location in device settings to find the x and y coordinates of a device.
Go to settings > Tap build number 7 time > click on Developer options > turn on "Pointer location" toggle .
Syntax :
# Step 1 : Find the device width and height deviceSize = driver.get_window_size() # Step 2 : Find the x,y coordinate to swipe from Bottom to Top startx = screenWidth/2 endx = screenWidth/2 starty = screenHeight*8/9 endy = screenHeight/9 # Step 3 : Create TouchAction class object actions = TouchAction(driver) # Step 4 : Call long press method along with move_to method actions.long_press(None,startx,starty).move_to(None,endx,endy).release().perform()
Example: In the below example we are launching the app on an Android device and click on the tab activity and then perform the swiping from Left to Right and Right to Left.
