Unable to scroll element in Appium 1.20

Question

I'm using Appium 1.20. I'm trying to find a way to scroll to an element.

public static void scrollToElement(WebElement e) {
    JavascriptExecutor js = driver;
    HashMap scrollObject = new HashMap();
    scrollObject.put("direction", "down");
    scrollObject.put("name", e.getId()); // <-- there is no getId for WebElement.
    js.executeScript("mobile: scroll", scrollObject);
}

Unfortunately, there is no getId() for WebElement.

How do you scroll to an element in Appium 2?

If it is android, you can use

driver.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("new UiScrollable(new UiSelector().scrollable(true).instance(0)).scrollIntoView(new UiSelector().textContains(\"**/Put some text of scroll screen/**\").instance(0))")
