How to create an appium android device "back button" in java

Appium version is: 1.2.0.1

I saw a few codes for that, like:

// click back button
HashMap swipeObject = new HashMap();
swipeObject.put("keycode", 82);
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("mobile: keyevent", swipeObject);

// click back button
HashMap<String, Integer> keycode = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
keycode.put("keycode", 4);
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("mobile: keyevent", keycode);

But they don't work , any idea how ?

Solution

  • You can use the driver.navigate().back(); can be what you are looking for.
