How to dismiss the keyboard in appium using Java?

This code just aims to find the textbox and send some text to it. When it does that the keyboard appears on the android device.How to dismiss it after the sendKeys.

@Test
    public static void test_demo() throws Exception {
        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("mytextfield"));
        element.sendKeys("test");
        //how do I dismiss keyboard which appears on my android device after sendKeys?  
    }
Solution

  • driver.hideKeyboard() will only work with AppiumDriver. I am using java-client-2.2.0.jar that contains this capability.
