Swipe Right,Left,Up & Down using Appium

This is very useful tutorial for those who are learning appium as swiping and scrolling is commonly used for almost all mobile apps. So learning to automate it using Appium is going to help you in writing test code.Below is the code where I have written different functions for swiping from top to bottom, from bottom to top, from left to right, from right to left using Appium. We can all these methods in our test cases to perform required actions. plus I have created a video tutorial with detailed explanation.

/**
  /* Method to swipe screen from Bottom to Top (Vertical) Get the size of
  * screen. Find swipe start and end point from screen's width and height.
  * Find starty point which is at bottom side of screen. Find endy point
  * which is at top side of screen. Find horizontal point where you wants to
  * swipe. It is in middle of screen width.
  * Time duration should be in milliseconds
  */

 public void bottomTopswipe(int timeduration) {

  
  size = driver.manage().window().getSize();
  System.out.println(size);
  starty = (int) (size.height * 0.50);
  endy = (int) (size.height * 0.20);
  startx = size.width / 2;
  System.out.println("Start swipe operation");
  driver.swipe(startx, starty, startx, endy, timeduration);

 }
