In version 20.2, a fix was made in the "SimpleKeyboard" application. If an older version of the keyboard is already installed, please uninstall it and follow the steps to install the new version.
This capability enables you to send non-English characters to the device. Commands like SendText can do the same as long as the application under test is instrumented. This command can work on any application instrumented and non-instrumented.
For this capability to work you will need to perform some prerequisites:
-
Install special keyboard:
Open a command prompt.
Navigate to your installation directory \bin\adb
Run the following command
adb install SimpleKeyboard.apk
-
Set your device default keyboard to use the installed keyboard.
On your device Open Settings -> 'Language and input' -> 'Default keyboard'
Select 'Simple IME' as the default keyboard
-
Re-init the device for the changes to take effect ( Reset USB Connection / restart the agent/reboot).
To Send a text to the element you need to focus the element (by clicking the element) and then use SendText command with {keyboard:<your_text>}
Example
{keyboard:字}
