unable to use sendKeys"sendKeys(CharSequence[]) in the type WebElement is not applicable for the arguments (String)"

[visha...@gmail.com]

I get following error when i use send keys:

sendKeys(CharSequence[]) in the type WebElement is not applicable for the arguments (String)"

Code:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

public class TestMethod1 {

/**

* @param args

*/

public static void main(String[] args) {

WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver();

driver.get("http://www.google.com");

WebElement element= driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("cheese");

element.submit();

}

}

Selenium webdriver:2.37

JRE:1.7

Can you please help me?

create an action and do the same

new Actions(driver).sendKeys(array).perrfom();

Try below steps--

1.Paste this List<String> abc=new ArrayList<String>(); on your class
2. Mouse over on "List" and import java.util package
3. Now system prompt you to change the JRE
4. Press Ok to change the JRE

The code looks correct. I would suspect that something in your project settings are not set correctly. The sendKeys method does take a CharSequence array but your JVM should be able to easily promote your String to an array of CharSequence. Your project settings might have a strict setting to prevent automatic promotion of data types.

I encountered the same issue when type the code in eclipse,in my situation,it's the setting of Compiler is improper and the code  failed to be compiled.
As darrell said, to check the compiler of the project and make it 1.5 or later. In eclipse,do as following:
In menu bar, Window > Preferences
In Preferences dialog, expand Java and click on 'Compiler' check 'Compiler compliance level' under JDK Compliance.(this is my workaround)
you may also want to check installed JREs,in the same  'Preferences' dialog
expand 'Java' and click 'Installed JREs'.
Hope this helpful & guluk.

edit like this

WebElement element= driver.findElement(By.name("q")) ;

element.sendKeys("cheese");

because sendKeys is void method.

I have seen this issue happening if you are using JDK 8 with older version of eclipse. Also as Tony suggested, check the compiler settings
