appium TouchAction press and moveTo scrolling method not working on Android 8.1

Question

i'm using appium 1.13.0 to try to scroll through a native android app on a samsung galaxy note 9 on android 8.1 with this method here

new TouchAction(driver).press(PointOption.point(943, 1090)).moveTo(PointOption.point(70, 1090)).release().perform();

but it doesn't seem to be working, the screen doesn't move at all.

sending this scroll input from the adb shell command line does work though

adb shell input swipe 500 100 500 300

but I really need to be able to send a scroll event through appium, not the command line.

can anyone help out?

Facing same issue, any solution? – Himanshu Jul 13 '23 at 10:17 — Himanshu, Jul 13 '23 at 10:17

This is likely that you forgot to put a waitoptions.

touchAction.press(PointOption.point(943, 1090)).waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(1000)).moveTo(PointOption.point(70, 1090)).release().perform();

I tried this and instead of scroll only flickering is happening without throwing any exception. – Ashok kumar Ganesan Jul 27 '20 at 07:52

Adding that wait action did the job for me. Thanks! – HsnVahedi Jun 09 '21 at 10:06
