Can you provide the code that you tried?

I use classname to interact with android edit texts, so my C# is

driver.findelements(By.ClassName("android.widget.EditText).ElementAt(4).SendKeys(“testvalue”);

Hey @kcinman11358…

Thanks for your replay… that now got fixed … i have another intermittent issue on closing keyboard which popup usually while sending text data to the text field… so i closing the keyboard after each text edit field in order to make other text input box visible. with
driver.pressKeyCode(AndroidKeyCode.BACK);
. but sometimes the keyboard doesn’t popup but keyvalue will be passed … when the above method triggered app would switch back … so what would be the solution to close the keybaord only if it has pop up…

Appreciate for your help

Thanks

You might try:

public static void hideKeyboard(AppiumDriver driver) throws Exception {
    try {
        driver.hideKeyboard();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        //Lets ignore, apparently its throwing exception when keyboard was not opened
    }
}

MobileCapabilityType is an interface that extends CapabilityType, if you want to use it, do:

capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.UDID, device.getDeviceId());
