Click and drag option (JAVA)

Question

I'm looking for a possibility to to this basically: User clicks, holds, moves to left and releases. EDIT: I mean not by an user, but automated. Any methods which offer this?

could you describe what exactly you don't know what to do, what have you tried? — Jonathan Solorzano, Aug 05 '15 at 19:45
I know how to make a click with the robot class, but it has to drag it accross the screen before releasing. — Tim V, Aug 05 '15 at 19:51

To automate mouse clicks, holds and moves you can look into the Robot Class

This is the basics of a mouse click: where x and y is the coordinate of the point on the screen in pixels where you want to click.

public static void click(int x, int y) throws AWTException{
    Robot bot = new Robot();
    bot.mouseMove(x, y);    
    bot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
    bot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
}

Other mouse functionality can be acheived through Selenium

Really depends on what you specfically want to acheive

See:

If you record the coordinates accurately enough, and loop the amount of times you want to do the processes; you can pretty much automate most mouse clicks/drags.
