## How To Emulate IME Actions Generation
Very often Android developers use [onEditorAction](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.OnEditorActionListener.html#onEditorAction(android.widget.TextView,%20int,%20android.view.KeyEvent)) callback with `actionId` argument to implement actions handling, for example, when `Search` or `Done` button is pressed on the on-screen keyboard. Appium since version 1.9.2 allows to automate the generation of such actions by providing the special `mobile:` command.
### mobile: performEditorAction
Executes the given editor action on the _currently focused_ element.
#### Supported arguments
* _action_: The name or an integer code of the editor action to be executed. The following action names are supported: `normal, unspecified, none, go, search, send, next, done, previous`. Read https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/EditorInfo for more details on this topic.
#### Usage examples
```java
// Java
driver.executeScript("mobile: performEditorAction", ImmutableMap.of("action", "Go"));
```
