I am doing automation of the app using appium. I am able to lunch the app but I go for login, it can read the XPath for login. But appium is unable to enter the mobile number. For mobile device, I am using the emulator.

This is my code:

driver.findElement(By.xpath(props.getProperty("mobile"))).sendKeys("123456");

This is my Xpath:

mobile=//android.widget.EditText[@text='Mobile']

Error facing:

Encountered internal error running command: io.appium.uiautomator2.common.exceptions.InvalidElementStateException: Cannot set the element to 'value'. Did you interact with the correct element?

Not sure why you have the props.getProporty in there or what you trying to do with that, you can just use the xpath right in the driver.findElement()

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.EditText[@text='Mobile']")).sendKeys("123456");

In UIAutomator2 mode, if the element is not an editText， can‘t use sendKeys()/setValue()
Can user driver.pressKey(KeyEvent(AndroidKey.A)) instead

The field you are trying to access should be of editText to accept input keys. if you are getting parent element of the editText, there is a chance that you are trying to sendKeys to a layout field than actual element. Inspect the element retrieved in the Appium Desktop session
