Send larg input text

[otmgue]

I'm currently using Appium version 1.4.16.1.
I use sendKeys method to set a text of 3157 char; it takes more than one minute to finish.
Is there any better way to do it?

Are you talking about Android or iOS ?

try below if it helps.

update in script: your_element, your_text and your_phone_id

where your_phone_id you can get with "adb devices".

                your_element.get(0).click();
                String[] cmd1 = new String[]{"adb", "-s", "your_phone_id", "shell", "input", "text", "your_text"};
                ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(cmd1);
                Process process = pb.start();
                //print inputStream to console
                final Scanner scanner_1 = new Scanner(process.getErrorStream());
                Thread t1 = new Thread() {
                    public void run() {
                        while (scanner_1.hasNextLine())
                            System.out.println(scanner_1.nextLine());
                    }
                };
                t1.start();
