Hi Raghav , can u please tell where is UIAUTOMATOR present while performing automation it is in laptop or in android device

Hey Raghav Having heard of Node.js and how it's event que is behaving with its single threaded async nature, I have a small question, Lets say that in my event que, I do have 2 events call as X and Y and there is an interdependency between each of these events, such as that until it completes the event X, event Y couldn't start / complete. So as of your explanation, X is take by the thread, do the thing (part of the thing), until X processes thread goes to fetch the event Y, in that case how can it happen because of the above mentioned interdependency. In such scenarios, how nodeJs deals with it? As I know there is a concept called, javascript promises to deal with such sittuations, am I correct ? If so how does the javascript promise behave ? (how does it happen?)

[@RaghavPal]

Yes, we have promises concept to deal with such scenarios. I will plan a session to explain details

[@VenkataKrishnanRamakrishna-i7i]

Hi Rahul, could you please explain how zoom operations is performed on android phones? Using appium. Thank you

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Venkat To perform Zoom operations on an Android phone using Appium, you can use the MultiTouchAction class provided by the Appium Java client library. Here is an example of how to perform a zoom-in gesture on an Android device using Appium: // Create a new MultiTouchAction object MultiTouchAction multiTouch = new MultiTouchAction(driver); // Get the size of the screen Dimension size = driver.manage().window().getSize(); // Define the start and end coordinates of the gesture int startX = (int) (size.width / 2); int startY = (int) (size.height / 2); int endX = (int) (startX * 0.5); int endY = (int) (startY * 0.5); // Create the two touch actions for the zoom gesture TouchAction touchAction1 = new TouchAction(driver); touchAction1.press(PointOption.point(startX, startY)).moveTo(PointOption.point(endX, endY)).release(); TouchAction touchAction2 = new TouchAction(driver); touchAction2.press(PointOption.point(size.width - startX, size.height - startY)).moveTo(PointOption.point(size.width - endX, size.height - endY)).release(); // Add the touch actions to the multi-touch action multiTouch.add(touchAction1).add(touchAction2); // Perform the multi-touch action (zoom-in) multiTouch.perform(); In this example, we create a new MultiTouchAction object and get the size of the screen. We then define the start and end coordinates of the zoom gesture. We create two TouchAction objects for the two fingers involved in the zoom gesture, and add them to the MultiTouchAction object. Finally, we perform the MultiTouchAction to execute the zoom-in gesture. You can modify this example to perform other zoom operations, such as zoom-out or pinch. Just adjust the start and end coordinates and the movements of the fingers accordingly.

[@VenkataKrishnanRamakrishna-i7i]

@@RaghavPal Thanks Raghav for taking time and sharing valuable inputs. I tried the following on my android camera, but for some reason I don't see the zoom happening. When I manually perform zoom operation, I can see 4.x or 1.x ... on my camera, on top of this, could see the difference. My piece of code is shared below. DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities(); dc.setCapability("platformName", "Android"); dc.setCapability("appium:platformVersion", "11"); ////dc.setCapability("noReset", true); dc.setCapability("appPackage", " com.ontim.camera2"); dc.setCapability("appActivity", "com.ontim.camera2.CameraLauncher"); dc.setCapability("deviceName", "Camera App"); dc.setCapability("noReset", true); AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), dc); ///////AppiumDriver driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL("127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), dc); //WebElement ele_image = driver.findElement(By.id("com.ontim.camera2:id/multi_focus_indicator")); // Get the size of the screen Dimension Dimension size = driver.manage().window().getSize(); // Define the start and end coordinates of the gesture int startX = (int) (size.width * .5); int startY = (int) (size.height * .4); int endX = (int) (size.width * .1); int endY = (int) (size.height * .1); ////second Touch int startXSec = (int) (size.width * .5); int startYSec = (int) (size.height * .6); int endXSec = (int) (size.width * .9); int endYSec = (int) (size.height * .9); // Create the two touch actions for the zoom gesture TouchAction touchAction1 = new TouchAction(driver); TouchAction touchAction2 = new TouchAction(driver); touchAction1.longPress(PointOption.point(startXSec,startYSec)) .waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofSeconds(2))) .moveTo(PointOption.point(endXSec,endYSec)); touchAction2.longPress(PointOption.point(startX,startY)) .waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofSeconds(2))) .moveTo(PointOption.point(endX,endY)); //Create a new MultiTouchAction object MultiTouchAction multiTouch = new MultiTouchAction(driver); // Add the touch actions to the multi-touch action multiTouch.add(touchAction1).add(touchAction2).perform(); // Perform the multi-touch action (zoom-in) ///multiTouch.perform(); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

[@RaghavPal]

Venkat Based on the code you provided, it seems that you are performing a pinch-to-zoom gesture on the Android device using the TouchAction and MultiTouchAction classes provided by Appium. However, you mentioned that you don't see the zoom happening on your camera. There could be several reasons for this. Here are a few things you can check: Verify that the pinch-to-zoom gesture is supported by the camera app you are using. Not all camera apps support this gesture. Check if there are any error messages or exceptions in the Appium server logs or in your test output. This may help you identify any issues with the code or configuration. Try adjusting the duration of the waitOptions() method in the TouchAction class. A shorter duration may result in a faster pinch-to-zoom gesture that is more visible. Check if there are any restrictions on the zoom level of your camera. Some camera apps have a maximum zoom level that you cannot exceed. Try using a different camera app or a different device to see if the issue persists
