Hi,

@Aleksei

I want to populate two diff email id in a single To field area in iOS Appium.

Below steps are tried to send two email ids:

  1. clicked on To field text area
  2. using setvalue - populated emailid 1.
  3. tapped on return button in keypad.
  4. using set value - populated email id 2 - but it cleared the previously entered email id 1 and populated email id 2.

My goal is to populate two email ids without clearing off.

Thanks in advance

sendkeys ->

new Actions(driver).sendKeys(text).perform();

= it will add text to whatever previous in input field

Hi,

I used below code snippet to send multiple email id in a for loop and got below err.

         driver.findElement(MobileBy.iOSClassChain(classChain)).click();
         new Actions(driver).sendKeys(value).perform();

hi.

  1. does keyboard appear after tap?
  2. add
driver.switchTo().activeElement();

after click and before sendKeys. see -> https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/11389
3) try also “driver.getKeyboard().sendKeys(“text”);”

  1. Yes, after tap keypad appears.

I have doubt on, When should I switch the driver to active element? is it after tap or before tap on text area?

below is the used code snippet:
driver.findElement(MobileBy.iOSClassChain(classChain)).click();
driver.switchTo().activeElement();
new Actions(driver).sendKeys(value).perform();

 - After tap, value is not sent on the text area. we haven’t passed the classchain to the action-sendkeys function. Due to that, isn’t populated the text?

Thanks in advance.
