Clear Edit Text - adb

Question

How to clear focused text editing using shell command.

I tried

adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_CLEAR // Not worked 
adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_DEL // Delete only one char
adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_FORWARD_DEL // Not worked

With this, I can only delete only one character, is there any way to remove / clear focused editing text.

Answer 1

This works for me:

function android_clear_input {
    adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_MOVE_END

    for i in $(seq 50); do
        adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_DEL
    done
}

Then:

android_clear_input

Answer 2

If you use uiautomator ( https://github.com/xiaocong/uiautomator ), you can do this:

• tap the EditText widget to get focus, then

• use device(focused=True).clear_text()to clear the view, or device(focused=True).set_text("new text")to set new text.
