Legacy | Send key event

• Command: key

• Subcommand: event
  

• Supported Platforms: Native (legacy), UFT (legacy), Selenium, Appium

  All commands must be executed using the same framework. Sharing the execution ID between different frameworks is not possible. This means that if you work with a Selenium/Appium driver, you need to call the commands using the Selenium/Appium driver (or, in the case of Reporting commands, through the Reporting SDK that works with the driver) and not as part of a UFT test or another framework.

• Supported OS: Android, iOS

Sends a key event to the device, using key codes and metastates.

Description

Sends a keyboard event to the device. Uses standard Android keycodes. For example:

Key code = 29 and the Metastate = 1 will print an "A"

Key code = 29 and the Metastate = 0 will print an "a"

Key codes and metastates are defined by Android.

Parameters

^* Mandatory parameter
