Touch Perform

Perform a touch action sequence

Example Usage

TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver);
action.press(10, 10);
action.moveTo(10, 100);
action.release();
action.perform();

from appium.webdriver.common.touch_action import TouchAction

actions = TouchAction(driver)
actions.tap_and_hold(20, 20)
actions.move_to(10, 100)
actions.release()
actions.perform()

// webdriver.io example
driver.touchPerform([
  { action: 'press', options: { x: 100, y: 250 }},
  { action: 'moveTo', options: { x: 300, y: 100 }},
  { action: 'release' }
]);



// wd example
let action = new wd.TouchAction();
action.press({x: 10, y: 10});
action.moveTo({x: 10, y: 100});
action.release();
action.perform();
await driver.performTouchAction(action);

@driver.touch_action.down(element).move_to(10, 100).up(50, 50).perform

// TODO C# sample

// TODO PHP sample

Description

This functionality is only available from within a native context

'Touch Perform' works similarly to the other singular touch interactions, except that this allows you to chain together more than one touch action as one command. This is useful because Appium commands are sent over the network and there's latency between commands. This latency can make certain touch interactions impossible because some interactions need to be performed in one sequence. Vertical, for example, requires pressing down, moving to a different y coordinate, and then releasing. For it to work, there can't be a delay between the interactions.
