Hi Vinay,

Try using this code in java, it may help you:

List<WebElement>  buttons;

       textBoxes = driver.findElements(By.tagName("Button"));

       buttons.get(0).click();

By seeing your screen shot I feel logout is a button and it could be button.get(5).click.

Just u can try trail and error method as of now.Even at some point i was also stuck like you and this code helped me.

Thanks,

Mahesh M

UIAutomatorViewer won't show the XPath. XPath is an appium thing. You'll have to construct the XPath yourself.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. As you told I am constructing the xpaths manually. This was not my problem.

I am using tablet here. My problem is that the above overlay(panel), which has 'My Profile', 'Privacy policy', etc is not identified in UI Automator viewer. But it's background is identified. Since the overlay is not recognized, the nodes are not shown. So I am unable to construct the xpaths and unable to interact with this overlay through automation.

FYI, it is working in phone.

Any kind of driver.switchTo.window("...") needs to be used?.

Thanks,
Vincy.

Hi, I am using appium and UIAutomator tool. I am unable to construct Xpath using UIAutomator tool. Would you please tell me how to construct xpath on our own. 

Please suggest me any links where I can find how to construct xpath.

Thanks in advance.
