Appium zoom in Multi Touch Action on Android real device not working

[grvermeulen]

The problem

When I'm using a multi touch action for zooming in the action does nothing. I turned on developer options to show touch actions and swipes on the screen and I can see the correct touch action is made by the driver (two fingers moving from the middle of the screen to the outside). Also the appium logging is telling me the command is executed correctly although the result is that nothing happens on the actual screen. The Funny thing is the zoom out with the same code except the parameters is working.
The Code that i'm using:

`int scrHeight = driver.manage().window().getSize().getHeight(); //To get the mobile screen height
int scrWidth = driver.manage().window().getSize().getWidth();//To get the mobile screen width

  MultiTouchAction multiTouch = new MultiTouchAction((MobileDriver) driver);
  TouchAction tAction0 = new TouchAction((MobileDriver) driver);
  TouchAction tAction1 = new TouchAction((MobileDriver) driver);

  tAction0.press(scrWidth / 2,  scrHeight /2).moveTo(0, - 500).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(50)).release();//press finger center of the screen and then move y axis
  tAction1.press(scrWidth / 2, scrHeight /2).moveTo(0,  500).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(50)).release();// press thumb slightly down on the center of the screen and then move y axis
  multiTouch.add(tAction0).add(tAction1);
  multiTouch.perform();`

I also met the same issue with appium 1.7.1 and multiTouchAction. Zoom in doesnt' work on android real device. Even from appium log, it is performed successfull. Have you resolved this?

[grvermeulen]

Sorry to get back to you so late, unfortunately we haven't resolved the issue yet. So if you have any ideas please let me know.. thanks

+1, me too facing same issue. Any updates or workaround for this?

As of today July 27th its not working for me either.
Using java-client-5.0.4.jar and Appium v1.8.1.

Below is the code I have used:

touch1.press(width/2, (height/2)-60).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(1000)).moveTo((width/2)-10,(height/2)-400).release();

touch2.press((width/2)-30, (height/2)+60).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(1000)).moveTo((width/2)-50,(height/2)+400).release();

MultiTouchAction multi = new MultiTouchAction(driver);
multi.add(touch1).add(touch2).perform();

I would say this is a third party issue with UIA framework. Perhaps, zooming would work properly with Espresso driver

I am also getting same issue multiaction zoom is not working for mobile web application in c# with appium.
