Gestures (Tap, Swipe, Scroll)

Use the W3C Actions API for gestures in Appium 2.

Tap at coordinates

java

PointerInput finger = new PointerInput(PointerInput.Kind.TOUCH, "finger");
Sequence tap = new Sequence(finger, 1)
    .addAction(finger.createPointerMove(Duration.ZERO, PointerInput.Origin.viewport(), 300, 600))
    .addAction(finger.createPointerDown(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()))
    .addAction(finger.createPointerUp(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()));

driver.perform(Collections.singletonList(tap));

Swipe up (scroll)

java

PointerInput finger = new PointerInput(PointerInput.Kind.TOUCH, "finger");
Sequence swipe = new Sequence(finger, 1)
    .addAction(finger.createPointerMove(Duration.ZERO, PointerInput.Origin.viewport(), 500, 1200))
    .addAction(finger.createPointerDown(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()))
    .addAction(finger.createPointerMove(Duration.ofMillis(600), PointerInput.Origin.viewport(), 500, 400))
    .addAction(finger.createPointerUp(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()));

driver.perform(Collections.singletonList(swipe));

Long press

java

PointerInput finger = new PointerInput(PointerInput.Kind.TOUCH, "finger");
Sequence longPress = new Sequence(finger, 1)
    .addAction(finger.createPointerMove(Duration.ZERO, PointerInput.Origin.viewport(), 300, 600))
    .addAction(finger.createPointerDown(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()))
    .addAction(new Pause(finger, Duration.ofSeconds(2)))
    .addAction(finger.createPointerUp(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()));

driver.perform(Collections.singletonList(longPress));
