Waiting for keyboard to appear

[Ondrej Hanslik]

Hi,

very often I have to type something into a textfield/textview or another text component.

My steps are the following:

touch(text_field)

sleep(0.75)

tap_clear_button_if_exists

type_into_keyboard(...)      

The problematic part is the sleep(0.75). I am not very happy to have random sleep times in my tests. Have somebody find a better way to handle this?

I have tried wait_for_nothing_to_be_animating but on iPad the wait never ends since there are some infinite animations in the keyboard views.

Can you do some other kind of spin assert?  Maybe something like:

wait_until{ element_exists("view marked:'Clear Button' FEX_canTouch") }

I tried it with "view:'UIKBKeyView' FEX_canTouch" but it returns immediately after the keyboard starts appearance animation.

I suppose the only reliable way is to somehow listen to keyboard notifications.

When waiting for the keyboard to appear wait_for_nothing_to_be_animating works quite well.
