Search Range in Binary Search Tree

Given two values k1 and k2 (where k1 < k2) and a root pointer to a Binary Search Tree. Find all the keys of tree in range k1 to k2. i.e. print all x such that k1<=x<=k2 and x is a key of given BST. Return all the keys in ascending order.
Have you met this question in a real interview? 
Yes

Example
If k1 = 10 and k2 = 22, then your function should return [12, 20, 22].
    20
   /  \
  8   22
 / \
4   12

 * public class TreeNode {

 *     public TreeNode(int val) {
 *         this.val = val;
 *         this.left = this.right = null;
 *     }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    /**
     * @param root: The root of the binary search tree.
     * @param k1 and k2: range k1 to k2.

    public ArrayList<Integer> searchRange(TreeNode root, int k1, int k2) {
