can anyone describe the code
How to create the driver object and and then send the keypress event ?

48 
driver.executeScript("mobile: performEditorAction", ImmutableMap.of("action", "done"));
49

Finally I was able to solve it

driver.pressKey(KeyEvent(AndroidKey.TAB))
driver.pressKey(KeyEvent(AndroidKey.ENTER))

Hitting only pressKey was not enough for my case since focus is not changed until I hit to Tab.

Might help to start a new thread and explain your issue from the beginning, looks like a different issue from where I’m standing.
