Mobile Scroll Gesture not working for Scrollview

[jeromehuewe]

When trying to scroll inside a android.widget.ScrollView using the Mobile Scroll Gestures the method directly returns false and thus stopping the scrolling.

[AndroidUiautomator2Driver@fe2d (6adddfbe)][0m Executing method 'mobile: scrollGesture'"
[AndroidUiautomator2Driver@fe2d (6adddfbe)][0m Proxying [POST /appium/gestures/scroll] to [POST http://127.0.0.1:8200/session/49a372f4-3b90-4168-9bf0-1468588ae106/appium/gestures/scroll] with body: {'area':{'left':0,'top':238,'width':1080,'height':1861},'direction':'down','percent':1}"
[AndroidUiautomator2Driver@fe2d (6adddfbe)][0m Got response with status 200: {'sessionId':'49a372f4-3b90-4168-9bf0-1468588ae106','value':false}"
[AndroidUiautomator2Driver@fe2d (6adddfbe)][0m Responding to client with driver.execute() result: false"

Inspecting the element with Appium Inspector reveals that the element should be still scrollable:

<android.widget.ScrollView index="0" package="my.package" class="android.widget.ScrollView" text="" resource-id="my.package:id/main_scrollview" checkable="false" checked="false" clickable="false" enabled="true" focusable="true" focused="false" long-clickable="false" password="false" scrollable="true" selected="false" bounds="[0,238][1080,2099]" displayed="true">

The method is working totally fine, when scrolling a android.widget.ListView or android.widget.RecyclerView in the same App.

Is there an known issue with these types of elements or do I need to use other methods?

appium-uiautomator2-driver-version: 2.42.2
appium-version: 2.4.1

In the case, it looks like Android framework itself has the behavior. Appium provides some possible workarounds:

https://github.com/appium/appium-uiautomator2-driver?tab=readme-ov-file#mobile-scroll

w3c actions example:
https://github.com/appium/ruby_lib_core/blob/3d5a6def1e1b5e019467fab972d54e2a35c76b85/test/functional/common_w3c_actions.rb#L16 (the command differs on each client)
https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver1/#actions

I prefer to use w3c actions (which is low level input events) to avoid depending on Android OS/library's their own internal behavior like doesn't work only for a specific case

Scroll down is not working for RecyclerView and Layouts inside ScrollView in Android while using Appium(v2.4.1 and above i tried).

When using in Java
boolean canScrollMore = (Boolean) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("mobile: scrollGesture", ImmutableMap.of( "left", 100, "top", 100, "width", 200, "height", 200, "direction", "down", "percent", 3.0 ));
isn't this the same method you mentioned as a workaround?
This is not working for the mentioned Android elements.
