[vigossjjj]

in my script:
...
textfields = self.driver.find_elements_by_class_name("android.widget.EditText")
self.driver.set_value(textfields[0],"abcd")

error msg:
WebDriverException: Message: u"ERROR running Appium command: Object [object Object] has no method 'setValueImmediate'"

What version of Appium are you using? The method is there in 0.18 and 1.0/1.1.

However, the point is moot, as it doesn't work for Android. You'll get a NotYetImplementedError.

My appium version is 1.1, How can i set value on textfield for Android?

Thanks, but i want to set some value with non-english characters.
On appium 1.1.0 changelog i see that"#### Android - allow for encoding of non-ASCII text".how can i understand this change?

At the moment it's a little involved. We're in the process of automating
it. You can follow the instructions here to install the IME onto
your device, and it should work.

I used appium 1.2 and python-client0.9
the set_value method still didn't work
I want use this method set a chinese in textfield for Android

The method does not work for Android. It won't unless Android changes things. To use Chinese characters, see the unicode docs.
