Navigate away from text field on web testing using appium on android real device

[kadabbara]

Hi,

I am testing a web application on real android device using appium.
Have a auto suggestive field, when I type some text, it gives auto suggestions.
I want to ignore the suggestions, hide the suggestions and click on the button.
I am appending the code and the screenshots. Please help me with the issue.

Code:
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.List;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

import io.appium.java_client.PerformsTouchActions;
import io.appium.java_client.TouchAction;
import io.appium.java_client.remote.MobileCapabilityType;

public class TravelexMobileTestCode
{

static DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();

static TouchAction t;

static WebDriver driver;

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, MalformedURLException {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub

	cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
	//cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "Nexus5API25");
	cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "VIBE K5 Note");
	cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME,"Android");	
	cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION,"6.0");
	//cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION,"7.1.1");
	cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME,"chrome");
	cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NO_RESET, true);
	cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.FULL_RESET, false);
	
	cap.setCapability("unicodeKeyboard", true);
	cap.setCapability("resetKeyboard", true);
	
	//cap.setCapability("appPackage","com.android.webview.chromium");
	//cap.setCapability("appActivity", "com.android.webview.chromium.LicenseActivity");
	
	driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),cap);

	driver.get("https://www.travelex.com.au/");
	System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
	
	//WebDriverWait wd = new WebDriverWait(driver,20);

	WebElement DestCcyCnty = driver.findElement(By.name("currency"));
	DestCcyCnty.clear();
	DestCcyCnty.sendKeys("Si");
	
	List<WebElement> CcyOptions = driver.findElements(By.className("ui-menu-item"));
	
	Thread.sleep(2000);
	
	for(int CcyOption=1;CcyOption<=CcyOptions.size();CcyOption++)
	{
		
		
		if(CcyOptions.get(CcyOption).getText().contains("SGD"))
		{
			CcyOptions.get(CcyOption).click();
			break;
		}
		
		else
			if(CcyOptions.get(CcyOption).getText().contains("No matches found."))
		{
			System.out.println("No currencies are found matching with the search");
			break;
			
		}	
			
	}
	
	Thread.sleep(1000);
	
	driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".addCash")).click();

	//Bpay selection
	driver.findElement(By.id("order-paymentItem-focus-span-bPay")).click();
	
	//Store search field
	WebElement StoreField = driver.findElement(By.id("searchTerm"));
	
	//t = new TouchAction((PerformsTouchActions) driver);
	
	//t.press(StoreField).
	
	StoreField.clear();
	StoreField.sendKeys("Melbourne, Victoria, Australia");
	Thread.sleep(1000);
	
	System.out.println(driver.getPageSource());
	
	driver.findElement(By.id("bothPickupLabel")).click();
	
	//Find a Store button
	WebElement findStore = driver.findElement(By.id("searchBtn"));
	findStore.click();

Screenshot with auto suggestions:

Screenshot after hiding the auto suggestions: (I need to click on ‘Find a store’ button)

I got the solution for this by myself using below.

Welement.sendKeys(“text”);
Welement.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);
