Introduction

In some scenarios, your test might need to perform complex gestures. For example, pinching and zooming on a map. You can combine multiple Touch Actions into a Sequence Additionally, you can combine multiple Sequences into a Multi Touch Actions Sequence.

Actions

1. Set Touch Action

The Set Touch Action allows you to define a Touch Action:
  • Tap and Hold
  • Move
  • Release
Endtest Set Touch Action
Names must be provided for each Touch Action. These names will be used when executing the Touch Actions or when combining them into a Sequence.
Adding a Set Touch Action step will not execute that Touch Action it will only define it.

2. Execute Touch Actions Sequence

After defining the Touch Actions with Set Touch Action steps, you can execute them with an Execute Touch Actions Sequence step. The names of the defined Touch Actions must be provided, separated by + signs.
Endtest Execute Touch Actions Sequence

3. Set Touch Actions Sequence

This action can be used if you want to store multiple Touch Actions in a Sequence.
Adding a Set Touch Actions Sequence step will not execute the Sequence; it will only define it.
Endtest Set Touch Actions Sequence
Names must be provided for each Sequence. These names will be used when executing the Sequences.

4. Execute Multi Touch Actions Sequence

This action can be used to execute multiple Sequences at the same time. A good example is when you want to pinch and zoom on a map. Both fingers would perform separate Sequences simultaneously.
Endtest Execute Multi Touch Actions Sequence
The names of the defined Sequences must be provided, separated by + signs.
To understand a complex gesture, it’s best to first break down that gesture into Sequences. Then, break down those Sequences into Touch Actions. For example, pinching and zooming on a map is a gesture. That gesture is made up of 2 Sequences. Each finger will perform a separate Sequence simultaneously. Each Sequence is defined by 3 Touch Actions (Tap, Move, Release), executed one after another.
