Appium Android Java Date/Time Picker

[RedDevil]

Hi,

Is there a way/documentation in Appium to set data to the Date/Time Picker for ANDROID in Java. Can anyone give a good example for the same. Also is it possible to findElementById in Android?

If you can see the time picker via uiautomatorviewer then it should be
possible to automate.

Yes.

How can this be done. I tried 

driver.findElement(By.id("app.package:id/elementId")) and it does not work.

I see it via uiautomatorviewer but my question is how do I find the element and set data to it as Byid does not work? So is content_desc the only way or is there anything else?

You need Android API 18 or better.

You can find it by any supported locator strategy for the given API level.
