Hello, All
I have a question on how to find the soft keyboard item in SPY. Usually, When I input a text and this time some devices soft keyboard shows up but some are not. In order to make my script for both situations, I want to do a check if the keyboard is visible, press BACK key, else do nothing.
I try to find the element in SPY, but it can't see it. Is there any one who knows how to find the soft keyboard in my sitatuion?
Thank you
Jiali

Hello Jjang1,
What soft keyboard exactly would you like to automate? The basic Windows On-Screen keyboard can be tracked perfectly fine using Ranorex Spy.
However, please open the soft keyboard, create a Ranorex Snapshot and upload it to this thread.
This would help us identifying your issue in more detail.

He is specifically asking about ANDROID, not WINDOWS.
If you can see it with SPY then there SHOULD be a way to manipulate/identify it in a test. But I don't work with mobile devices, so don't take my word for it.

Shortcuts usually aren't...

Sorry, I was planning to upload the snapshot but got told that not allowed to do any screenshot by company rules.

hi jjang1,
sorry, I did not look at the title of this thread so I thought you were talking about windows.
As far as I know, it is not possible to identify the keyboard of a device.
However, if you simply like to enter something in a text field, you may use a set value action on the specific element.
This should work on devices on which a keyboard pops up and also on devices where the keyboard is not shown.
