Try this

import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidKeyCode;
_driver.pressKeyCode(AndroidKeyCode.ENTER);

Hello @amitjaincoer191,

driver.pressKeyCode(AndroidKeyCode.ENTER) method is giving some kind of error.

Use int value 66 or hex value ‘0x00000042’
driver.pressKeyCode(66) ;
driver.pressKeyCode(0x00000042);

Actually the pressKeyCode method is not available!

Use java client version 3.2 this method is added in that version.

earlier java client version has similar method sendKeyEvent you can also try that without switching java client version

driver.sendKeyEvent(66) ;
driver.sendKeyEvent(0x00000042);
driver.sendKeyEvent(AndroidKeyCode.ENTER);

with latest 3.3.0 and 3.2.0 java-client jars sendKeyEvent() method is replaced in android with pressKeyCode(int key) and added: pressKeyCode(int key, Integer metastate), longPressKeyCode(int key), longPressKeyCode(int key, Integer metastate)

maybe you need add:

import io.appium.java_client.android.nativekey.AndroidKey;
import io.appium.java_client.android.nativekey.KeyEvent;
