Hi Husnah,

Using Katalon’s sendKeys function:

Add this import to your test file:

import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.MobileBuiltInKeywords as Mobile

Then send the keys to the textField Test Object:

Mobile.sendKeys(textField, "My Value");

Using Appium’s sendKeys function:

If that doesn’t work, you can try using Appium’s sendKeys function directly:

Add these import statements to the top of your test file:

import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver
import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.MobileBuiltInKeywords as Mobile
import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.internal.MobileDriverFactory

Then tap the textField Test Object to open the keyboard and send the keys using Android’s keyboard:

int timeout = 5 // timeout in secondsMobile.tap(textField, timeout)
AndroidDriver<?> driver = (AndroidDriver<?>) MobileDriverFactory.getDriver()
driver.getKeyboard().sendKeys("My Value")

Using a wrapper function from katalon-mobile-util library:

Finally, if that’s a lot to type each time you want to set the text on a field, you can try using this open source library, which has some convenience functions for handling Text Fields:

You can access a built version of the library here:

For info on how to add a third party library to you Katalon test project, see the docs:

Hope this helps,

Chris
