In IOS, we have UIPickerWheel element which will have options to select, we will see how we can automate the picker wheel using appium, a sample picker wheel is shown in below screenshot
We will see how we ca select an option from the picker wheel
we can use sendkeys method to select an option, in sendkeys method, send the option to chose as a parameter.
Watch the demo here
Here is the folder structure of the project –
create a maven project as shown below screenshot
DatePickerWheel.java
Identify the picker wheel and use sendKeys() to send the string and select the option.
Even we can use hash map to scroll through the picker wheel to get all picker wheel options.

public class DatePickerWheel {
public void setDateAndTime() {
WebElement DatePickerListItem = MobileDriver.getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//XCUIElementTypeStaticText[@name='Date Picker']"));
DatePickerListItem.click();
WebElement DatePickerWheel1 =
MobileDriver.getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//XCUIElementTypeDatePicker"));
List<WebElement> Columns =
DatePickerWheel1.findElements(By.xpath("//XCUIElementTypePickerWheel"));
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)MobileDriver.getDriver();
Map<String, Object> hp = new HashMap<String, Object>();
hp.put("order", "next");
hp.put("offset", 0.15);
hp.put("element", Columns.get(0));
js.executeScript("mobile: selectPickerWheelValue", hp);
System.out.println(Columns.get(0).getAttribute("value"));
Columns.get(1).sendKeys("9");
Columns.get(2).sendKeys("30");
Columns.get(3).sendKeys("PM");
}
}AppTest.java

cap.setCapability("bundleId", "com.example.apple-samplecode.UICatalog");
driver = new IOSDriver<WebElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), cap);
Assert.assertNotNull(driver);
MobileDriver.setWebDriver(driver);
}
public static void CloseApp() {
driver.quit();
}
}
MobileDriver.java
Get the driver instance
package com.mobile.MobileTest;

public class MobileDriver {
private static WebDriver Driver;
public static WebDriver getDriver() {
return Driver;
}
static void setWebDriver(WebDriver driver) {
Driver = driver;
}
}TestApp.java

Start the appium server and run the testng.xml to chose the pickerwheel option
Note : If you are new to appium, you can follow this below starter post to work with appium server
