Type non-English characters via androidviewclient

  1. Is there a way to type non-English characters via androidviewclient? Cyrillic in my case. I added Russian layout to Genymotion and all others Input methods but no luck.

  2. Or maybe a way to use Copy/Paste? This solution is even better, because I need to type some emojis also.

I'm using Genymotion with Android 4.2.2 (API 17).

Solution

  • Current AndroidViewClient relies on input command to type characters and it crashes when non-ascii chars are sent. You can try:

    root@hammerhead:/ # input text öüï                                             
Killed

    It's in the roadmap to implement alternative methods to find a workaround for this problem.
