Calabash Android: Is there a special perform_action command for pressing the search button on the Android keyboard

The command perform_action('send_key_enter') sends the enter key but for our search field, the enter key is replaced by the search key in the Android keyboard.

Is there a special perform_action command to send the input of the search key?

I have been able to solve this by the following command: press_user_action_button('search')

What could be happening is your scripts aren't able to accurately locate ADB in order to send the command to the device. Try using the following, which uses default_device.adb_command - this should use the full path to ADB and also use the proper device id:

system("#{default_device.adb_command} shell input keyevent KEYCODE_ENTER")

Also, I can't take credit for this, so go ahead and take a look at this great post which helped me immensely when dealing with entering text:

Try this :   system("adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_ENTER")

By 'adb shell input keyevent', either an event_code or a string will be sent to the device.

Look into few more Event_code

Please mention your error message if you still face same issue
