Throws
`UiObjectNotFoundException`

flingToBeginning

 boolean flingToBeginning (int maxSwipes)

Performs a fling gesture to reach the beginning of a scrollable layout element. The beginning can be at the top-most edge in the case of vertical controls, or the left-most edge for horizontal controls.

Throws
	UiObjectNotFoundException
