Answer 1

As per your comment :

• To press Enter you can use :

  WebElement.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
  

• To press Return you can use :

  WebElement.sendKeys(Keys.RETURN);
  

• As you wanted to press it on the phone keyboard you can use :

  WebElement.sendKeys(Keys.KEYCODE_NUMPAD_ENTER);
  

Here are the helpful JavaDoc links :

• AndroidKeyCode Interface

• ENTER

• KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER

• KEYCODE_ENTER

• KEYCODE_NUMPAD_ENTER

• Here you can find a detailed discussion on the following.
