[Question] How to lock screen using playwright-android?

[NareshMurthy]

How do I ( lock screen / swipe down the notification center / press recent apps button ) using playwright android?
Thanks!

Here is the list of buttons you can press, I would start with the Power and then swipe?

https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/master/types/android.d.ts#L119

Tried to lock with await device.press("Power"); and await device.press("body", "Power");
Throws me error, could you let me know, if I am doing anything wrong here.

await device.input.press('Power'); - since your action is not associated with any UI element, you just perform this event globally.

@pavelfeldman Thanks, I was able to lock using await device.input.press("Power"); , Is there a Key for recent app switcher?
After spending some time, I was able to swipe down the notification drawer with

await device.input.swipe(
    { x: 1, y: 1 },
    [
      { x: 1, y: 10 },
      { x: 1, y: 80 },
    ],
    2
  );

But not sure if its the right way, is there any documentation for playwright-android so that i can look in to?

@NareshMurthy : swipecorresponds to UiDevice.swipe I can also see wakeUp there that we did not plumb. Tell us if there are more methods you'd like to see on device!

[pavelfeldman]

Looks like you would want sleep, wakeUp and recentApps as well...

[NareshMurthy]

Yes! I am looking for a recentApps button as well

@pavelfeldman I have a test page, which captures active user time on the page, I noticed that, even after locking the screen / pulling down the notification bar, doesn't change the visibilityState of the page.
Something similar to this #2286

Thanks!
