Class InstrumentedKeySender

java.lang.Object
  io.selendroid.android.InstrumentedKeySender

All Implemented Interfaces:

KeySender

Direct Known Subclasses:

WebViewKeySender

public class InstrumentedKeySender
extends Object
implements KeySender

Provides a method to send a string to an application under test. Keys are sent using an Instrumentation instance. The strings may contain any character in the AndroidKeys enum.

Note that this class does not focus on a particular View before sending keys, nor does it require that some View has focus. This is fine if you are sending the Menu key, or using the arrow keys to select an item in a list. If you are trying to type into a certain widget, be sure it has focus before using this class.
