Answer 1

Here is how we do it-

Swipe left-

appiumDriver.context("NATIVE_APP"); 
Dimension size = appiumDriver.manage().window().getSize(); 
int startx = (int) (size.width * 0.8); 
int endx = (int) (size.width * 0.20); 
int starty = size.height / 2; 
appiumDriver.swipe(startx, starty, endx, starty, 1000);

Swipe right-

appiumDriver.context("NATIVE_APP"); 
Dimension size = appiumDriver.manage().window().getSize(); 
int endx = (int) (size.width * 0.8); 
int startx = (int) (size.width * 0.20); 
int starty = size.height / 2; 
appiumDriver.swipe(startx, starty, endx, starty, 1000);

Here appiumDriver is an instance of io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver

Answer 2

swipe() method is deprecated.

so we can use below methods.

Swipe left will be perform as:

new TouchAction(driver).longPress(250, 1200).moveTo(900, 1200).release().perform();

Swipe right will be perform as:

new TouchAction(driver).longPress(1000, 450).moveTo(500, 450).release().perform();

Here, driver is your driver like AndroidDriver, RemoteWebDriver, AppiumDriver.

And 250, 1200 and other is Your app view Co-ordinate that you can see in the UIAutomaterView batch file located under the android-sdk platform-tools.
