Does appium support keyboard testing? As uiautomatorviewer not shows the resource id or anything about the gboard.
it looks like you are with Android where keyboard hidden. But you ken user sendKey option to test.

((AndroidDriver) driver).pressKey(new KeyEvent(Key));

I have to test the other elements of keyboard.
My main motive is to test the keyboard functionality only. Like open settings through keyboard ,open speech to text,etc.
Can I test only keyboard using appium?
Custom Android keyboard could be visible with Appium (try ask your developers), native Android keyboard suggest to use code above.
GBoard is not visible in Uiautomatorviewer. What’s the way to test Gboard using appium
just wonder why you need test GBoard? Or you need test GBoard with your app (= use code above)?
If i want to check the change keyboard language functionality through keyboard not by going to settings then how it can be test with appium?
try first suggested MultiWindows key. there is chance that GBoard as it a bit custom could be visible.
PS if it fails i am out of ideas. visual compare hardly can suggest
PPS also try to look into adb commands. maybe they will help… e.g.
adb shell dumpsys window InputMethod
I tried adb commands but it didn’t work for the keyboard
This help us in find element using xpath? I already tried element using Xpath
