Working With Android Scroll View Controls

Applies to TestComplete 14.40, last modified on April 22, 2021

Scroll view (ScrollView) controls are the container object for a view hierarchy that can be scrolled by the user, allowing it to be larger than the physical display. The user can change visible objects by dragging the control. TestComplete provides extended support for Android scroll view controls.

TestComplete analyzes control class names and automatically creates wrapper Android ScrollView test objects for scroll view controls. These objects contain specific methods and properties for simulating user actions on scroll views and retrieving their data.

Supported scroll view classes are listed in the project’s Object Mapping options. You can extend this list, for example, add the class name of a custom scroll view control used in your tested application and thus enable recording and scripting support for this control. For more information, see Default Project Properties - Object Mapping Options.

Note: The described support is available only if the tested Android application is Open, that is, if it was prepared for TestComplete (see Instrumenting Android Applications - Overview).

Topics in this section provide detailed information about working with scroll view controls in TestComplete and contain script samples that illustrate the explanation.
