Entering values into a field in a UI

Post by Cagallagher » 11 Mar 2013 13:09

Hi,

Firstly, i have to say that this is a great product. I can think of so many uses and automations that i want to build. I have been playing around with this for a couple of hours now and i am struggling to carry out a specific task. Perhaps someone here can help me.

I have a flow which launches and app, then through control UI i have clicked into a field to set the focus on this field. I now want to enter a value into this field but I currently cant find a way to do this. I may be missing something really obvious, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards
Carl

Hi,

If you have a rooted device then you can simulate text input with Execute Root Command and a command like input text abcd.
You can also press special buttons like the back button with this method with a command input keyevent 4. The number is one of the keycodes listed in the android developer doc: http://developer.android.com/reference/ ... Event.html

Regards,
Martin
