Ranorex Forum

Hi

I am trying to automate a Android App. It is based on Angular. To Log in, the user has to enter username and password and then toucht the "Login" button. To set username and password, I need to user the PressKeys - Function, because setting the values to the box will not trigger Angular to bind the content of the boxes to the variables.
Also the out-of the box-function "Keypress" does not work and end up in the same error-message.

Unfortunately, this codes produces a "Method not supported" Error. How can I solve this?

thanks
Martin

Hi ms_infometis,

You might wanna take a look at this posting iOS mobile web, button is clicked but nothing happens

Basically, you need to call the executeScript method on the username and password field to make sure the text change event gets fired. Also, you might need to change the method since this usually depends on the listener your dev team has implemented. Some possible values are
.change()
.trigger()
.keyup()
.keydown()

Hope that helps!

I was encountering same method not supported error; however on performing the ExecuteScript you've provided it worked just fine. Thank you so much @ dpFourOFour

I still have this .presskeys & Mobile key press errors.
I am in the same situation, even tries the provided solution with execute script did not work for me. We are using ionic(Angular) with xamarin.

Hi asishr,

As mentioned in my previous posting, the method which needs to be called within the execute script could be different than my examples.
Could you talk to your development team if they have implemented a different eventlistener?

Best,
DP

Hi ms_infometis,

There are two solutions that worked for me in the past.

• Perform the mobile key press on a repo item higher up the Xpath. For example, performing it on the mobileapp item or the mobileapp/form item. You must touch the text field for the username / password first to bring it into focus before performing the key press.
• Use ADB to send the text. Like the first method, you must touch the username / password text field first to bring it into focus. You can send text with the command listed below. Use the ADB.exe file in the Ranorex Bin directory and not from Android Studio.
  
  adb.exe shell input text YOURTEXTSTRING

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Without seeing your app under test, or at very least Ranorex snapshot (NOT screenshot), there is unfortunately very little anyone here can do or suggest. Also, you forgot to mention Ranorex version and type of android application you are automating. Generally speaking, if you carefully followed the steps of all mentioned solutions (especially ADB-related), something should work. But as mentioned, without seeing the app (at very least snapshot), it's impossible to tell what's wrong in your case.

Hi,

I'm afraid, I'm not a part of Ranorex support team. I'm a normal Ranorex user, just like you So if you want to contact Ranorex support, you should use their support form, available here:
https://www.ranorex.com/support-query/

I have written custom code to access keyboard

AndroidDriver<?> driver = MobileDriverFactory.getDriver()
driver.getKeyboard().sendKeys(Keys.RETURN)

But its not working.
