hi

whats the inspector viewer (uiautomatorviewer) on this - can then check the element ids etc

[Maveric098]

Class for search webelement is "android.widget.EditText" and id is "package name:id/findStore_zipSearch".

i met with problem that Apple keyboard has different names and get workaround to press LAST key on keyboard which is always some action like Go, Search, Next, Enter ... so on

public boolean tapLastKeyboardKey_iOS() {
        List<WebElement> el = driver.findElements(MobileBy.className("UIAKeyboard")).get(0).findElements(MobileBy.className("UIAButton"));
        return tapElement((MobileElement) el.get(el.size() - 1));
    }

where tapElement my own implementation of tap. you can use any yours.

How did u find Class name for android keyboard , UI Automator won't show that .

search.sendKeys(Integer.toString(zipcode) + "\n");
search.sendKeys(Keys.Enter);
driver.pressKeyCode(84);

Please change to:
search.sendKeys(Integer.toString(zipcode));
search.sendKeys(Keys.ESCAPE);
//Then insert code to click on the Search Button here

Hopefully it helps you.
