How to switch ON/OFF settings using appium

There are situations where we need to toggle any settings to ON/OFF, e.g –  switch ON/OFF wifi.

We can automate the toggle or switch ON/OFF using appium,

How we do manually – either click on the switch (on right side icon, as shown) or click on the text to switch ON/OFF.

If the color turns to green – then switch is ON

if color is grayed out, then switch is OFF

let’s see the implementation

public class SwitchOnOff {
	
	static DesiredCapabilities cap;
	static AndroidDriver driver;
	
	@BeforeTest
	public static void setup() throws MalformedURLException
	{
		cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
		cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.PLATFORM, "Android");
		cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "5.1.0"); 
		cap.setCapability("deviceName", "mygeny510");
		cap.setCapability("appPackage", "com.android.settings");
		cap.setCapability("appActivity", ".Settings");
	}
	
	@Test
	public static void SwitchONOFF() throws MalformedURLException
	{
		driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), cap);	
		while(driver.findElements(By.name("Security")).size()==0)
		{
			Dimension dimensions = driver.manage().window().getSize();
			Double screenHeightStart = dimensions.getHeight() * 0.5;
			int scrollStart = screenHeightStart.intValue();
			Double screenHeightEnd = dimensions.getHeight() * 0.2;
			int scrollEnd = screenHeightEnd.intValue();
			driver.swipe(0,scrollStart,0,scrollEnd,2000);
		}
		
		//driver.findElement(By.name("Security")).click();
		driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@text='Security']")).click();
		
		//clicking on name is same as clicking on the switch button
		WebElement SwitchText = driver.findElement(By.name("Make passwords visible"));
		SwitchText.click();
	}
	
	@AfterTest
	public static void TearDown()
	{
		driver.quit();	
	}
}
