pressKeyCode

Press a particular key on the device. The keycode values correspond to Android KeyEvent constants.

browser.pressKeyCode(keycode, metastate, flags)

Parameters

Name	Type	Details
keycode	number	The keycode to press (Android KeyEvent constant)
metastate optional	number	Meta state to apply during the key press (e.g. shift, ctrl)
flags optional	number	Integer flags for the key event

Example

pressKeyCode.js

it('should press the Home button', async () => {
    // Press the Home button (keycode 3)
    await browser.pressKeyCode(3)
    // Press with meta state (e.g., Shift + A = keycode 29, metastate 1)
    await browser.pressKeyCode(29, 1)
