Android SetValue Workaround

Post by Neo772 » Mon Nov 19, 2018 4:19 pm

Hello,

I have the following problem with the testing our ionic android app:
As I start to record an action set to log into our app, it doesnt work because the setValue of the content wont stay.
I can see the values being entered on the login page. But the app is generating the validation error that the data is not entered as if no entry has occurred. The sign in touch is not doing anything on the app either.

It is probably the same problem as described here, but I have not found yet an solution:
setvalue-on-android-entering-the-value- ... 12582.html

I am new to ranorex and if someone could help me with a step for step guide how to workaround this problem I would be very happy.

Thank you very much for any help!!

Hi,

Have you tried all solutions mentioned in the post you linked? Try mainly this one:
setvalue-on-android-entering-the-value- ... tml#p50328
If the trick with IME_ACTION_DONE is not working for you, you will most probably have to use ADB commands.

The Workaround with IME_ACTION_DONE was not working.

What are ADB (android debug bridge) Commands and how would a solution look like?

Hi,

Check these posts about sending ADB command from Ranorex:
send-adb-commands-via-ranorex-t10596.html#p42515
setvalue-on-android-entering-the-value- ... tml#p50413
I'm afraid, I don't know exact adb.exe arguments, so you will have to do some research about sending keys to app via adb.

BTW, try also this workaround...
set-value-press-keys-on-ipad-using-rano ... tml#p42933
