org.openqa.selenium.InvalidElementStateException: Appium Unable to perform W3C actions. Check the logcat output for possible error reports

Question

I am attempting to scroll by obtaining the bounds of two elements and then moving from one point to the other, but I am encountering this exception:

Exception:

org.openqa.selenium.InvalidElementStateException: Unable to perform W3C actions. Check the logcat output for possible error reports and make sure your input actions chain is valid.

My Java Code

 public void swipeUpUsingElementBounds(By firstElement, By secondElement, By targetElement,int x1, int y1,int x2, int y2) throws InterruptedException {
    WebElement element1 = driver.findElement(firstElement);
    WebElement element2 = driver.findElement(secondElement);
    Point s = element1.getLocation();
    Point s1 = element2.getLocation();
    int startX = s.getX() + element1.getSize().getWidth() - x1;
    int startY = s.getY() + element1.getSize().getHeight() - y1;
    int endX = s1.getX() + element2.getSize().getWidth() - x2;
    int endY = s1.getY() + element2.getSize().getHeight() - y2;

    PointerInput finger = new PointerInput(PointerInput.Kind.TOUCH, "finger");
    Sequence sequence = new Sequence(finger, 1);
    sequence.addAction(finger.createPointerMove(Duration.ofMillis(0), PointerInput.Origin.viewport(),endX, endY ));
    sequence.addAction(finger.createPointerDown(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()));
    sequence.addAction(new Pause(finger, Duration.ofMillis(350)));
    sequence.addAction(finger.createPointerMove(Duration.ofMillis(350), PointerInput.Origin.viewport(), startX, startY));
    sequence.addAction(finger.createPointerUp(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()));
    boolean isVisbile = isDisplayed(targetElement);
    while (!isVisbile) {
        Thread.sleep(2000);
        driver.perform(Collections.singletonList(sequence));
        isVisbile = isDisplayed(targetElement);
    }
}

I have debugged my code and also changed the element. It is visible and interactable at the time of the action. I'm not sure why it is throwing an exception. Can anyone help me solve this problem? I would be very thankful

Answer 1

I just resolved it by adjusting the bounds values. In my Java method stated in my question above, the elements' bounds are represented by startX, startY, endX, and endY.
