MobileLink Object

Description

A web link control in an iOS mobile hybrid application that was not signed with a Developer certificate.

IMPORTANT

  • A MobileLink test object must always be the child of a MobileNativeWebView test object. This enables the non-injected hybrid support required for applications not signed with a Developer certificate.

  • This test object type is not supported for Flutter-based applications.

Operations

The sections below list the built-in methods and properties that you can use as operations for the MobileLink object.

Note: You can also view a list and descriptions of the MobileLink description properties, for use in object repository descriptions, programmatic descriptions, checkpoint and output value steps, and as argument values for the GetTOProperty and GetROProperty methods.

LongPress Method

Description

Presses and holds the object for a moment.

Syntax

object.LongPress [x], [y], [Duration], [NumOfTouchPoints], [Gesture]

Arguments

ParameterDescription
x Optional. An integer value.

The x-coordinate of the long press. Note that the specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object. The default value is the center of the object.


Default value = -9999
y Optional. An integer value.

The y-coordinate of the long press. Note that the specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object. The default value is the center of the object.

Tip: You can enter micNoCoordinate (-9999) for the x and y argument values if you want to enter a value for the other optional arguments without specifying x- and y- coordinates for the long press. micNoCoordinate indicates the center of the object.


Default value = -9999
Duration Optional. A double floating value.
The number of seconds to continue pressing. (Supported only on iOS)
Default value = 0
NumOfTouchPoints Optional. An integer value.
The number of points to press, similar to the number of fingers you would use for the gesture on a real device. (Supported only on iOS)
Supported value = 1
Gesture Optional. A String value.

The gesture class designed by the mobile application developer to handle this gesture on this object. (relevant for iOS only)

Note:
 - This argument is necessary only if the application developer overrode the default iOS gesture class.
 - If this argument is necessary, it is recorded when you perform the gesture on the mobile object during a record session.
   If you manually add any steps to the test that perform the same gesture on the same mobile object, use the recorded gesture class for this argument.


Default value = ""

Return Type

None

The y-coordinate at which to start the pan gesture. Note that the specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object.
EndX Required. An integer value.

The x-coordinate at which to end the pan gesture. Note that the specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object.

EndY Required. An integer value.

The y-coordinate at which to end the pan gesture. Note that the specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object.

XVelocity Optional. A double floating value.
The horizontal velocity of the pan gesture.
Default value = -9999
YVelocity Optional. A double floating value.
The vertical velocity of the pan gesture.
Default value = -9999
Gesture Optional. A String value.

The gesture class designed by the mobile application developer to handle this gesture on this object. (relevant for iOS only)

Note:
 - This argument is necessary only if the application developer overrode the default iOS gesture class.
 - If this argument is necessary, it is recorded when you perform the gesture on the mobile object during a record session.
   If you manually add any steps to the test that perform the same gesture on the same mobile object, use the recorded gesture class for this argument.


Default value = ""

Return Type

None

Example

                        'The following example performs a Pan gesture on a MobileLink object in
'an iOS hybrid Mobile application not signed by a Developer certificate.

Pinch Method

Description

Perform a Pinch gesture on the object.

Syntax

object.Pinch Scale, [Velocity], [x], [y], [Gesture]

Arguments

ParameterDescription
Scale Required. A double floating value.

The scale for the pinch gesture. This number is the ratio between the start distance and the end distance between the two touch point used for the pinch.

For example, if you were to touch a screen with your fingers 6 cm apart, and pinch until your fingers were 3 cm, apart, the scale would be 0.5. 

Velocity Optional. A double floating value.

The speed at which to perform the pinch gesture. This number specifies the scale factor per second. Meaning - ratio between the touch point distance at one second, and the touch point distance one second later.

For example, if performing a pinch from 6 cm to 3 cm (0.5 scale) takes 2 seconds, then the velocity is 0.25.


Default value = 0
x Optional. An integer value.

The x-coordinate for the pinch gesture. Note that the specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object. The default value is the center of the object.


Default value = -9999
y Optional. An integer value.

The y-coordinate for the pinch gesture. Note that the specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object. The default value is the center of the object.


Default value = -9999
Gesture Optional. A String value.
