Can't enter text in Android text element

[sglebs]

I am using Appium as a front to an Android app under the emulator. When I try to execute this:

| ensure | present | id=com.nexxera.nix:id/til_cpf |
| show | screenshot |    
| type | 16956653176 | in | name=com.nexxera.nix:id/til_cpf |

I am getting this:

I am running 0.9.0. I will try again with your latest, 1.0.3.

Same problem with 1.0.2.

You need to assume some default when you ask for the element type and the call fails ({"status":7,"value":"This element does not have the 'type' attribute"}). Repeating the same query over and over is no good.
