Keyboard

This tool on every surface: CLI · MCP · Python · JavaScript · Go · Java · .NET

The soft keyboard: whether it is up and which field has focus, typing at that field's cursor, pressing a named key, or hiding it. These call app_keyboard.

Keyboard​

func (d *Device) Keyboard(ctx context.Context, opts KeyboardOptions) (KeyboardState, error)

Keyboard reads, types into, presses a key on, or hides the soft keyboard. It fails with ErrNoSuchElement when text is given and nothing has focus.

Examples​

Type into the focused field and press Enter​

text := "coffee"
if _, err := dev.Keyboard(ctx, mobium.KeyboardOptions{Text: &text, Key: "enter"}); err != nil {
	return err
}

The same call from the command line, mobium keyboard --text coffee --key enter, printed on an Android 15 emulator:

typed "coffee" into username, which now holds coffee; the keyboard is hidden

mobium keyboard --text coffee --key enter on an Android 15 emulator

mobium keyboard --text coffee --key enter on an Android 15 emulator

Hide the keyboard​

state, err := dev.Keyboard(ctx, mobium.KeyboardOptions{Hide: true})
if err != nil {
	return err
}
fmt.Println("shown:", state.Shown)

The same call from the command line, mobium keyboard --hide, printed on an Android 15 emulator:

hid the keyboard
