How to enter Comment in Android app pop up using Appium

Question

I am working on an automation Android app using Appium and Java. In my app when I click on Finish button there is a pop up. This pop up requires me to enter some text data. Then a click on the send button finishes the task.

I am unable to enter a comment.

Can someone please help me out?

Here is the code I am using:

public void comment() {
        MobileElement EnterComment =
                waitForVisibleElementBy(By.xpath("//android.widget.FrameLayout[@resource-id ='com.staffr.app:id/customPanel']"  + "/android.widget.EditText"),30);
        if (EnterComment != null) {
            EnterComment.sendKeys("This is Automation Test");
        }

Here is a Screenshot to help:
