Even after delay is given… facing same issue… it is partially entering the data in the fields. Mobile.startApplication(‘C:\Users\shital.tadas\Desktop\android-debug.apk’, true) Mobile.waitForElementPresent(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/android.view.View14’), 40) Mobile.setText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/android.view.View14’), ‘auto@local.net’, 20) Mobile.delay(10) Mobile.setText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/android.view.View19’), ‘Rest@123’, 10) Mobile.tap(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/android.widget.Button0’), 10) Mobile.closeApplication() Delay is not a problem because its not just password field but partial data entered in both email and password fields ---

Could you please create a variable and assign the value you want to type on set text for email and separate variable for password uname = User1 password = Rest@321 Mobile.setText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/android.view.View19’), password, 10) Mobile.setText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/android.view.View14’), uname, 10) hope this will resolve ur prolem ---

Tried that as well but that didn’t resolve the Problem. Problem was with my Phone Oppo . When run same script with Motorola, it worked fine. so there may be some driver issue ---

Hi @shitaltadas, I’ve also found that `sendKeys()` is sometimes more reliable than `setText()`. Note that you’ll need to tap into any field you want to type first, so that the keyboard opens. Here are some details about how to do that: > [@Slow execution on setText](http://forum.katalon.com/t/slow-execution-on-settext/13389/2): > > Hi Ashish, Alternatively to setText, you can try Katalon’s sendKeys function: 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 i… Hope this helps, Chris ---
