How to wait for element that scrolls onto page [duplicate]

Question

As a user
When I go to a page
Then there is an element that scrolls down into view

There is a link I want to click on that element. Sometimes it will work but how do I wait for it to finish scrolling down and then click on the element?

Thread.sleep(1000) works but I want to know is there a better approach?

Tools I am using:

Java
Selenium

This scroll is performed by Selenium or how? Can you add some code to see how you try to perform click on element? — KunLun

Use webdriver wait until the element visible or click able.Try the below code.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("Id here"))).click();

Or

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("Id here"))).click();

Please Note: Instead of ID you can put any locator like xpath,class,CSS.I have provided one example of ID here.
