Gestures & keys

Taps, swipes, drags and pinches, plus hardware buttons and the keyboard. Coordinates can be points or 0–1 screen ratios; directional swipes re-randomise the start point, distance, angle and duration every time and follow a hand-like path.

نظرة عامة

·The swipe family uses the W3C channel with human-like paths; the drag family uses WDA's native channel for better compatibility
·Directional swipes avoid the screen edges by default; pass 'edge' when you want a system edge gesture such as swipe-back
·Every duration is in seconds

client.click#

Tap at a coordinate; with a duration it holds for that many seconds before releasing (a long press).

typescript

client.click(x: number, y: number, duration?: number): object;

المعاملات

الاسم	النوع	مطلوب	القيمة الافتراضية	الوصف
`x`	`number`	نعم	—	Horizontal position: a 0–1 screen ratio, or points.
`y`	`number`	نعم	—	Vertical position: a 0–1 screen ratio, or points.
`duration`	`number`	لا	—	Seconds to hold. Omit for a plain tap.

الاستثناءات

الاستثناء	متى يحدث
`WDAError`	Ratio coordinates were given but the screen size could not be read (the WDA session is unhealthy).

ملاحظات

When x and y both fall between 0 and 1 they are screen ratios (0.5, 0.5 is the centre); otherwise they are points. The conversion needs the screen size and throws if it cannot be read.

مثال

javascript

client.click(0.5, 0.5);        // 屏幕正中 / screen centre
client.click(200, 640);        // point
client.click(0.5, 0.9, 1.2);   // 长按 1.2 秒 / long press

client.swipe#

Swipe from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2). The end points are exact; the path between them is hand-like — a slight random curve, slow then fast, with small jitter.

typescript

client.swipe(x1: number, y1: number, x2: number, y2: number, durationSec?: number): object;

المعاملات

الاسم	النوع	مطلوب	القيمة الافتراضية	الوصف
`x1`	`number`	نعم	—	Start x.
`y1`	`number`	نعم	—	Start y.
`x2`	`number`	نعم	—	End x.
`y2`	`number`	نعم	—	End y.
`durationSec`	`number`	لا	`0`	Seconds from the start of the movement to lift-off. 0 picks a random duration based on the distance.

client.drag#

A native WDA drag from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2). The system generates the path and speed; in some apps (custom-drawn views, older iOS) it is more reliable than swipe.

typescript

client.drag(x1: number, y1: number, x2: number, y2: number, durationSec?: number): object;

`y2`	`number`	نعم	—	End y.
`durationSec`	`number`	لا	`0`	Seconds to hold the start point before dragging — not the duration of the drag itself. 0 drags immediately.

client.swipeUp#

Move the finger up (content moves up, revealing what is below). The start point, distance (35–55% of the screen), angle (±5°) and duration are randomised every time, and by default the gesture stays at least 8% away from the screen edges so it never triggers a system edge gesture. Uses the W3C gesture channel with a hand-like path: a slight random curve, slow then fast, with small jitter.

client.swipeUp(from?: "edge"): object;
