driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.findElement(By.id("gender-male")).click();

//Method - 1
/*
Actions action=new Actions(driver); action.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);
action.sendKeys("test1"); action.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);
action.sendKeys("test2"); action.sendKeys(Keys.TAB);
action.sendKeys("testtt@gmail.com"); action.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
action.build().perform();
*/

//Method - 2
Actions action=new Actions(driver);
action.sendKeys(Keys.TAB)
.sendKeys("test1")
.sendKeys(Keys.TAB)
.sendKeys("test2")
.sendKeys(Keys.TAB)
.sendKeys("testtt@gmail.com")
.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER)
.build().perform();

//Using Robot Class - java based class

Robot robot=new Robot();

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);

robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_TAB);

Thread.sleep(3000);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);

}
