21. release() – this API is used to release the already PRESSED Left Mouse button at the current location

Method Signature: public Actions release() {…}
Method Call: actions.release().perform();

22. release(WebElement webElement) – this API is used to release the already PRESSED Left Mouse button at the middle of the referenced WebElememt. This is equivalent to: actions.moveToElement(webElement).release().build().perform();

Method Signature: public Actions release(WebElement webElement) {…}
Method Call: actions.release(webElement).perform();

23. sendKeys(CharSequence value) – this API is used to send keys (e.g. text to a textbox) to the current active WebElement.

Method Signature: public Actions sendKeys(Char Sequencevalue) {…}
Method Call: actions.sendKeys().perform();

24. sendKeys(WebElement webElement, CharSequence value) - this API is used to send keys (e.g. text to a textbox) to the referenced WebElement. This call is equivalent to: actions.click(webElement).sendKeys().build().perform():

Method Signature: public Actions sendKeys(WebElement webElement, CharSequence value) {…}
Method Call: actions.sendKeys(webElement, ).perform();

#8.8.1 Actions Class: Generic APIs cont...

16. moveByOffset(int xOffSet, int yOffSet)– this API is used to move the cursor from its current location (or from 0,0) by the given offset. For xOffset, -ve value means to move LEFT and for yOffset, -ve value means to move UP.

Method Signature: public Actions moveByOffset(int xOffset, int yOffset) {…}
Method Call: actions.moveByOffset(20,20).perform();
Exception thrown: MoveTargetOutOfBoundException – if the offset provided is out of the document’s boundary

17. moveToElement(WebElement webElement)– this API is used to move the cursor to the middle of the referenced WebElement from its current location.

Method Signature: public Actions moveToElement(WebElement webElement) {…}
Method Call: actions.moveToElement(webElement).perform();

18. moveToElement(WebElement webElement, int xOffSet, int yOffSet)– this API is used to move the cursor to the given offset from the top-left corner of the referenced WebElement.

Method Signature: public Action moveToWebElement(WebElement webElement, int xOffset, int yOffset) {…}
Method Call:actions.moveToElement(webElement, 10, 10) .perform();

19. pause(long milliseconds)– this API is used to make a pause to the ex*****on flow for the given amount of milliseconds (passed as a parameter to this API) irrespective of the situation and scenario. It is DEPRECATED now and so is not recommended to use.

Method Signature: public Actions pause(long milliseconds) {…}
Method Call: actions.pause(5000).perform();

20. perform()– This is used when we want to perform a single action but not multiple (for multiple-sequential action we need to make use of …build().perform();). When we call perform() API , build() API gets called internally before executing perform().

Method Signature: public Actions perform() {…}
Method Call: actions..perform();

12. keyDown(Keys key)–this API is used to perform a KEY PRESS (without release) operation on any of the MODIFIER key (Keys.SHIFT, Keys.ALT or Keys.CONTROL). Once this API is called , all the subsequent interactions assume that it’s kept pressed until a call to the following API is made (either keyUp() or sendKeys(Keys.NULL))

Method Signature: public Actions keyDown(Keys theModifierKey) {…}
Method Call: actions.keyDown(Keys.CONTROL).perform();
Exception Thrown: IllegalArgumentException is thrown, if the key passed is not a MODIFIER key

13. keyDown(WebElement webElement, Keys key)–this API is used to perform a MODIFIER key press after focusing on any WebElement and is equivalent to: actions.click(webElement).sendKeys(theModifierKey);

Method Signature: public Actions keyDown(WebElement webElement, Keys theModifierKey) {…}
Method Call: actions.keyDown(webElement, Keys.CONTROL).perform();
Exception Thrown: IllegalArgumentException is thrown, if the key passed is not a MODIFIER key

14. keyUp(Key key)–this API is used to release the already pressed MODIFIER key and if tried to release any MODIFIER key which is not PRESSED state – it shows an undefined behavior.

Method Signature: public Actions keyUp(Keys thePressedModifierKey) {…}
Method Call: actions.keyUp().perform();

15. keyUp(WebElement webElement, Keys key)–this API is used to release the already PRESSED MODIFIER key after focusing on any WebElement and shows an undefined behavior when tried to release any MODIFIER key which is not in PRESSED state. This is equivalent to: actions.clcik(webElement).sendKeys(thePressedModifierKey);

Method Signature: public Actions keyUp(WebElement webElement, Keys thePressedModifierKey) {…}
Method Call: actions.keyUp(webElement, ).perform();

11. dragAndDropBy(WebElement source, int xOffset, int yoffSet) –this API is used to pick the SOURCE WebElement and release it to the mentioned x-y offset/coordinates.

Method Signature: public Actions dragAndDrop(WebElement webElement, int xOffset, int yOffset){…}
Method Call: actions.dragAndDrop(webElement, 10,10).perform();
