Appium solves the search problem

Problem: The app does not have a search button, and you need to click the search button on the keyboard to realize the search function.

Several solutions found, trial results

Execute driver.press_keycode(66), use the keycode of the Enter key instead of the search button

Disadvantages: poor compatibility, some mobile phones do not work

Install the specified input method on the mobile phone, such as Sogou input method, and then execute driver.press_keycode(66)

Disadvantages: When multiple devices are in parallel, each mobile phone needs to install the input method, and the installation verification of each mobile phone is different

How to simulate IME action generation

Looking through the official documents, I found that the soft keyboard action can be simulated

Android developers often use actionId[onEditorAction] with parameters https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.OnEditorActionListener.html#onEditorAction (android.widget.TextView, int, android.view.KeyEvent) Callback to implement action handling, for example, when the Searchor button is pressed on the on-screen keyboard .Done

Versions of Appium from 1.9.2 onwards allow mobile:the automatic generation of such actions by providing special commands.

mobile：performEditorAction

Executes the given editor action on the currently focused element.

Supported parameters

action : The name or integer code of the editor action to be performed. The following action names are supported: normal, unspecified, none, go, search, send, next, done, previous.

Method Description

Reference: https://blog.csdn.net/u010041075/article/details/65445043

Explanation: It should be noted that the setOnEditorActionListener method is not triggered when we click EditText, nor is it triggered when we edit EditText, but is triggered when we click various keys on the soft keyboard after editing.

Because the buttons in the lower right corner of the software disk can be controlled to display as different buttons through the imeOptions in the layout file. Therefore, it can realize various soft keyboard functions with EditorInfo.

各种属性对应:
imeOptions=”actionUnspecified” –> EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_UNSPECIFIED
imeOptions=”actionNone” –> EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NONE
imeOptions=”actionGo” –> EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO
imeOptions=”actionSearch” –> EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH
imeOptions=”actionSend” –> EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEND
imeOptions=”actionNext” –> EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT
imeOptions=”actionDone” –> EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE
