Keyboard

```
public interface Keyboard

                    
```
Use this API only if neither Espresso, nor UiAutomator work for some reasons. E.g. because of animations.
Using this API is highly discouraged. Consider to use the built-in API whenever it's possible as it described in the documentation for methods.
Required: Started AdbServer 1. Download a file "kaspresso/artifacts/adbserver-desktop.jar" 2. Start AdbServer => input in cmd "java jar path_to_file/adbserver-desktop.jar" Methods demanding to use AdbServer in the default implementation of this interface are marked. But nobody can't deprecate you to write implementation that doesn't require AdbServer.
