Performing Actions

The UiObject class has multiple methods, which could be used to perform user interactions on the UI component. The methods of the class are as follows:

• click(): This clicks on the center of the visible bounds of the UI element.
• dragTo(): This drags this object to arbitrary coordinates.
• setText(): This sets the text in an editable field, after clearing the field's content. Conversely, the clearTextField() method clears the existing text in an editable field.
• swipeUp(): This performs the swipe up action on UiObject. Similarly, the swipeDown(), swipeLeft(), and swipeRight() methods perform corresponding actions.
