title: While executing appium test on android device, is it possible to type text using the android keyboard
body: <p>I am testing android device using appium from Mac machine. Sendkeys is failing on a particular page. Following is the description of the issue i already posted. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25529900/sendkeys-fails-on-android-appium-driver">Sendkeys fails on android appium driver</a>.
  So I want to know is there any other possibilites to resolve the issue. I spent hours in searching answer for it. But all i can find is pressing back, home buttons. I want to type  characters like 'k' , 's' using the android keyboard. Any suggestions?</p>
