Edit text (EditText) controls are used to work with text. A user can enter text into it as well as select, copy, cut and paste text. TestComplete provides extended support for Android edit text controls.

Please note that the maximum character limit for text input is 259 characters.

TestComplete analyzes the control class names and automatically creates wrapper Android EdtText test objects for edit text controls. These objects contain specific methods and properties for simulating user actions on editing text and for retrieving their data.

Supported edit text classes are listed in the project’s Object Mapping options. You can extend this list, for example, add the class name of a custom edit text control used in your tested application, and thus enable the recording and scripting support for this control. For more information, see Object Mapping.

Note:

The described support is available only if the tested Android application is Open, that is, if it was prepared for TestComplete (see Preparing Android Applications (Legacy)).

The topics in this section provide detailed information about working with edit text controls in TestComplete and contain script samples that illustrate the explanation.
