Earlier In THIS POST, we learnt how to swipe In horizontal or vertical direction In any android software app using driver.swipe() and swiping element in horizontal direction using action chain In previous post. Most of android applications contain list view and you need to scroll down to select specific element. You can use scrollTo(String text) method of IOSElement class If you wants to scroll down till specific text in appium software automation test. Let's try to Implement It practically In android software appium automation test to know how scrollTo(String text) method works.

PREREQUISITES : All previous 21 steps of appium mobile software app automation tutorials (PART 1 and PART 2) should be completed.

Download And Install API Demos App

We will use API Demos In this example. You can download API Demos android software app from GOOGLE PLAY STORE or THIS PAGE. Install It In your mobile device.

Aim To Achieve In This Appium Test

We wants to scroll down till selected element which contains text "Tabs" as shown In bellow Image. And then we wants to tap on It("Tabs" text). Manually you can view bellow given scroll-able listing in API Demos software App from API Demos App -> Views.

So In appium test,

1. First we will open API Demos App, 
2. Tap on "Views".
3. On next screen, Scroll down till element which contain text "Tabs".
4. And tap on element which contain text "Tabs". 

Create And Run Android Appium scrollTo Text Test

Create ScrollingToText.java file under Android package of your project and copy paste bellow given test script In It.

Note : Please set your device's capabilities in bellow given test.
ScrollingToText.java

package Android;

import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class ScrollingToText {
 AndroidDriver driver;

 @BeforeTest
 public void setUp() throws Exception {
  DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
  capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "ZX1B32FFXF");
  capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "Android");
  capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "4.4.2");
  capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
  capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "io.appium.android.apis");
  capabilities.setCapability("appActivity","io.appium.android.apis.ApiDemos");
  driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
  driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
 }

 @Test
 public void ScrollToText() throws InterruptedException {
  //Scroll till element which contains "Views" text If It Is not visible on screen.
  driver.scrollTo("Views");
  // Click on Views/.
  driver.findElement(By.name("Views")).click();
  System.out.println("Scrolling has been started to find text -> Tabs.");
  // Scroll till element which contains Tabs text.
  driver.scrollTo("Tabs");
  System.out.println("Tabs text has been found and now clicking on It.");
  // Click on Tabs.
  driver.findElement(By.name("Tabs")).click();
 }

 @AfterTest
 public void End() {
  driver.quit();
 }
}

Test Script Description
If you look at above test example, We have used driver.scrollTo(String text) methods for scrolling. It will scroll down steps by step and look If given text Is displayed on screen or not. When text appears, It will stop scrolling.

• First driver.scrollTo("Views"); will check if element containing test "Views" Is display on screen or not. If not display then It will scroll down down and check for text once again.
• Same way, Second driver.scrollTo("Tabs"); will scroll down and check for text "Tabs".

To see scrollToText demo practically, Run above test using testng and appium and observe result on your android mobile screen.

This way you can scroll down vertically to find specific element and click on It.
