I am trying to automate my android application test on testdroid server using Appium Java client. I am getting exception that unable to locate element while using element.sendKeys on AndroidElement.
AndroidElement element = wd.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.LinearLayout[1]"
+ "/android.widget.FrameLayout[1]/android.widget.RelativeLayout[1]"
+ "/android.widget.RelativeLayout[1]/android.widget.LinearLayout[1]"
+ "/android.widget.EditText[1]"));
element.click();
wd.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
element.sendKeys("Hello World");
In above code element.sendKeys throws exception
An element could not be located
Looks like it is "hinted text issue" of sendKey but not sure.
Please suggest me solution.
For android you should set capability "unicodeKeyboard" to "true". Also don't forget to reset
capabilities.setCapability("unicodeKeyboard", "true");
capabilities.setCapability("resetKeyboard", "true");
