Is there a method to have two finger touch in appium?

I need to double tap with two fingers simulataneously on logo to proceed to next screen?

Yes, there exists a method to perform a double tab:
TouchActions action = new TouchActions(driver);
action.doubleTap(element);
action.perform();

You can try below code with help of touch action.
Define Mobile element as mentioned below
MobileElement mobileElement= (MobileElement) driver.findElement(by);
And pass this element to below function.
public void tapTwiceOnElement(MobileElement mobileElement) {
int halfHeight = element.getLocation().getX();
int halfWidth = element.getLocation().getY();
new TouchAction(driver).press(ElementOption.point(halfWidth,halfHeight)).release().perform().press(ElementOption.point(halfWidth,halfHeight)).release().perform();
new TouchAction(driver).press(ElementOption.point(halfWidth,halfHeight)).release().perform().press(ElementOption.point(halfWidth,halfHeight)).release().perform();
}

this is a Java code for two finger double tap, in case anyone needs it:
Preconditions: you can change withPosition to withElement and x and y values need to be predefined.
MultiTouchAction secondTwoFingerPress = new MultiTouchAction(DeviceBucket.getDriver());
secondTwoFingerPress.add(new TouchAction(DeviceBucket.getDriver())
.tap(TapOptions.tapOptions()
.withPosition(PointOption.point(xPoint, yPoint))
.withTapsCount(2)));
secondTwoFingerPress.add(new TouchAction(DeviceBucket.getDriver())
.tap(TapOptions.tapOptions()
.withPosition(PointOption.point(xPoint1, yPoint1))
.withTapsCount(2)));
secondTwoFingerPress.perform();

Based on appium documentation: https://appium.io/docs/en/writing-running-appium/touch-actions/
You can use MultiTouch gesture.
Pseudocode example of tapping with two fingers:
action0 = TouchAction().tap(el)
action1 = TouchAction().tap(el)
MultiAction().add(action0).add(action1).perform()

How to scroll screen in android native app having recyclerview using appium

I am trying to automate an app which is built using recyclerview. There are totally 10 tiles and in one screen 1st four tiles will be visible and to get other tiles I need to move the screen upward. I tried to move the screen by finding co-ordinates and "(AndroidElement)driver.findElement(MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().resourceIdMatches(\".*id/type_text\")).setMaxSearchSwipes(5).scrollIntoView("new UiSelector().text(\"" + text + "\"))"))" this but there is slightly movement in the screen and couldn't get the remaining tiles. Is there any way to scroll to the bottom of the screen so that I can get last tile also.

Please try this. I think there's some issue in your UiScrollable..
MobileElement listItem=(MobileElement)driver.findElement(MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector()"
+ ".scrollable(true)).scrollIntoView("
+ "new UiSelector().text(\"<Mention your element text value here>\"))"));

#Sammar Ahmad, yes you were right. I was using wrong element. I constantly tried and finally worked after using co-ordinates.Code looks something like below. Created scroll() in homepage class and called the same from my test class
public void scroll(int x, int y) {
int startY = (int) (driver.manage().window().getSize().getHeight() * 0.90);
int endY = (int) (driver.manage().window().getSize().getHeight() * 0.10);
TouchAction action = new TouchAction(driver);
action.press(point(x, startY)).waitAction(waitOptions(ofSeconds(3))).moveTo(point(x, endY)).release().perform();
}
MobileElement startElement = (MobileElement) driver.findElementById("mention parent element here");
Point location = startElement.getLocation();
homepage.scroll(location.x,location.y);

MobileElement listItem=(MobileElement)driver.findElement(MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector()).scrollIntoView(text(\"<Mention your element text value here>\"))"));
You can modify #sammar's code like this to scroll to the element.

how to swipe to right or left with selenium?

I'm trying to swipe to right or left, but there's no button or element to click on it to swipe. The only option I have is to swipe to left or right is to hold the mouse and go to each side to swipe.
I've tried this method but it doesn't work for me:
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.clickAndHold(homePage.HeroImage).build().perform();
//you need to release the control from the test
Thread.sleep(2000);
action.moveToElement(homePage.HeroNext).release();
Thanks for your help :)
(HeroImage is the image that is showing now and HeroNext is the next image that i want to scroll into and both are visible)
I also tried this code, but it doesn't work either.
try {
for (int kk=0; kk<=6; kk++){
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
HashMap<String, String> scrollObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
scrollObject.put("direction", "right");
js.executeScript("mobile: scroll", scrollObject);
}
System.out.println("Swipe Successfully");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Image swipe was not successfull");
}

Have you tried doing your build and perform at the end?
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.clickAndHold(homePage.HeroImage);
//you need to release the control from the test
Thread.sleep(2000);
action.moveToElement(homePage.HeroNext).release();
action.build().perform();
I don't believe the sleep will be a part of the action as you intend it. Perhaps divide up into 2 actions if the hard wait is necessary. You might also be able to use dragAndDrop or dragAndDropBy. One drags to a target element the other to a target location

Use Drag and Drop with x and y coordinates:
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.dragAndDropBy(homePage.HeroImage, 200, 0).build().perform();
Here driver will perform drag and drop on HeroImage element horizontally. If you want to drag and drop vertically set x=0 and y="some range".
Hope it works.
Thank you.

How to Automate Maps with Selenium Java? or with Page Co-Ordinates. Pleas show me is there any other way to Automate Maps

I'm Trying to capture the Co-ordinates of Maps to do some action on Maps.
wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 15);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.`path`("//button[contains(text(),'Add Tract')]"))).click();
Utils.scrollUp();
Thread.sleep(10000);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("TimeZoneId")));
//Timezone is the area which I'm trying to capture the Co-Ordinates
Point point1 = timezone.getLocation();
SOP("Element's Position from left side is: "+point1.getX()+" pixels.");
SOP("Element's Position from top is: "+point1.getY()+" pixels.");
}

if your map has <canvas> tag, then try
To perform using Actions chains, below is an example C# code similar to Java
IWebElement canvas = driver.FindElement(By.Id("TimeZoneId"));
int xCo = canvas.Location.X;
int yCo = canvas.Location.Y;Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.MoveToElement(canvas, 1 + xCo, 2 + yCo).Click().Build().Perform();
Try OpenCV
If you are testing overlays on map. use JavaScriptExecutor and by adding hooks to your code in order to perform actions in your Map.
Try with Sikuli (personally, I have not used this. Needs some research)

Actions.dragAndDropBy is not working as expected

I wrote following piece of code to move a draggable object on
https://jqueryui.com/draggable/
driver.get("https://jqueryui.com/draggable/");
WebElement eleFrame=driver.findElement(By.className("demo-frame"));
driver.switchTo().frame(eleFrame);
WebElement ele=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='draggable']"));
Actions move=new Actions(driver);
move.dragAndDropBy(ele, 180, 300).release().build().perform();
This code does not move the object.
when i tried
move.clickAndHold(ele).moveByOffset(300, 100).release().build().perform();
it is working fine.I read the documnets it is saying dragAndropBy have internally same functionality as clickAndHold and then moving by some offset.
I have tested it before for both vertical/horizontal slider and it used to work fine.
Please suggest what is the problem with dragAndDropBy code. or some other functionality is actually expected out of it.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Actually it's pretty weird that move.clickAndHold(ele).moveByOffset(300, 100).release().build().perform(); is working for you... I've tried them both and they throw the same exception:
org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException: moveto did not match a known command
However, there are open bugs in Selelnium and in geckodriver on this issue.
BTW, the only difference between the two is that you don't have the ButtonReleaseAction in your custom action.

You can use dragAndDrop() method.
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.dragAndDrop(sourceElement, destinationElement).build().perform();
Refere tutorial http://www.seleniumeasy.com/selenium-tutorials/drag-and-drop-using-webdriver-action-class

No need to release() When "dragAndDropBy" is used.
Try this:
move.dragAndDropBy(ele, 180, 300).build().perform();

Multiple Controls Drag and Drop to the Same Destination.
WebElement element_1 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[#data-lobid='12']")); //source element 1
WebElement element_2 = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[#data-lobid='21']")); //source element 2
WebElement destination = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='lobModalPopUp']/div")); //destination path
int[] array_source = new int[]{12,21}; // create fixed array for id number of source element 1 and 2
for(int i = 0; i<array_source.length; i++) //Passing id number of source element 1 and 2 inside the for loop.
{
WebElement all_source_element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li[#data-lobid='"+arraylobs[i]+"']")); // getting all source element with the help of fixed array.
Actions drag = new Actions(driver);
drag.clickAndHold(all_source_element).build().perform();
Thread.sleep(3500);
drag.clickAndHold().moveToElement(destination).release(destination).build().perform();
Thread.sleep(3500);
}

driver.get("https://jqueryui.com/draggable/");
driver.switchTo().frame(0);
WebElement dragMe = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".ui-draggable-handle"));
new Actions(driver).dragAndDropBy(dragMe, dragMe.getLocation().getX()+100, dragMe.getLocation().getY()+100).perform();
This is how to use the dragAndDropBy(WebElement source, int xOffset, int yOffset) method provided in Actions class to perform drag and drop operations.
WebElement source: web-element that you want to drag around.
int xOffset and int yOffset are future x-axis and y-axis coordinate positions. Basically, the code gets the current x-axis and y-axis coordinate positions and adds int number to move the draggable element.
Please make sure to set up your driver properly before using this block of code.
