tapOn

In order to tap on a view with the text "My text"you can use the shorthand selector for text like this:

- tapOn: "My text"

You can also user other selectors such as id:

- tapOn:
    id: "id" # or any other selector

For a full list of selectors, please refer to the Selectors page.

Tapping on a specific point on the screen

Whenever possible, prefer tapping on view id or text instead of coordinates as this might make your tests dependent on a specific type of a device

You can specify a relative position on the screen using:

- tapOn:
    point: 0%,0%        # top-left corner
- tapOn:
    point: 100%,100%    # bottom-right corner
- tapOn:
    point: 50%,50%      # middle of the screen

You can also specify absolute coordinates on the screen to tap on:

- tapOn:
    point: 100,200    # This command will tap on point x:100 y:200 on the screen (in pixels)

Long press

To long press on a view or a point, use the same exact properties but with a longPressOn command

- longPressOn: Text
- longPressOn:
    id: view_id
- longPressOn:
    point: 50%,50%

    id: .*floating_action_button.* #regex
