unable to get sendKeyEvent method in appium-android

In my appium-code, on using swipe, scroll methods and executing the code. Getting the below exception.

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

And I don't see the SendKeyEvent method in the auto suggest dropdown. When I am manually typing SendKeyEvent(), it's throwing an error as undefined in the type AndroidDriver.

Attached screenshot SendKeyEvent method unavilable

Can anyone let me know please ?

This code worked for me:

AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), cap);
driver.pressKeyCode(AndroidKeyCode.HOME);

What is supported? What is obsolete? How to find answer to these questions? Can someone please direct to reference???

If you use java client 3.2.0 then you should try using pressKeyCode(keyCode) method instead of sendKeyEvent(keyEvent). Hope it helps.

Of course, because this method is not for the driver. You can send keys to the element, not the driver. The solution would be following:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("the_id"));
element.sendKeys("necessary_text");
