I am testing android device using appium from Mac machine. Sendkeys is failing on a particular page. Following is the description of the issue i already posted. Sendkeys fails on android appium driver. So I want to know is there any other possibilites to resolve the issue. I spent hours in searching answer for it. But all i can find is pressing back, home buttons. I want to type characters like 'k' , 's' using the android keyboard. Any suggestions?

  • If you're using trying with ruby refer this: [http://rubydoc.info/github/songkick/appium-ios-driver/master/frames/UIAutomation/Keyboard] – NMKP Sep 12 '14 at 10:08

you can use virtual keyboard on simulator. if you use genymotion emulator, you can choose to set use or not use virtual keyboard. and if you use send_keys function failed, you can try element.set_text('your text') instead(python client)

in my case, when i run test on a real device, default call out the android keyboard.

maybe you can provide more details, paste your scripts etc.
