Keyboard on Android devices

Hiding the keyboard or performing certain automation commands on Android devices fails.

Solution

The Perfecto Mobile keyboard is required and set as default for Android devices to work with Perfecto commands under automation. Currently, there is no option to switch to a virtual keyboard during automation.

When the Samsung keyboard is set as the default keyboard, the numeric keypad appears for manual actions but not for automation. The same numeric keypad does not appear when using the Perfecto Mobile keyboard.

To check or change the default keyboard on Android devices, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Language and Input > Virtual Keyboard.

    Tip:

    If you do not see Perfecto Mobile keyboard, click Manage Keyboard to add/enable it.

  2. Go back to Language and Input, click Default Keyboard, and then select Perfecto Mobile.
