Android Key Events

If you are writing scripts using a real external device, such as an Android, you can simulate key events using the SendText(Text) command.

The following keys can be used with the "SendText" command:

  • For Browser Back button : {WEBBACK}

• Toggle orientation:

  • For landscape: {LANDSCAPE}.

  • For Portrait: {PORTRAIT}.

• For opening the menu: {F2}

• For changing windows ( as in nexus devices - the right button next to home button in the screen ) - {recent_apps}

• Click on Home: {Home}

• Click on Back: {ESC}

• Click on Power key: {POWER}

• For pasting text: {PASTE}
