How to find xpath in mobile app using appium

Question

I tried using Find element by id but it is not inserting required data. Then I used Find element by xpath //android.widget.ScrollView[0]/android.widget.RelativeLayout[0]/android.widget.TextView[0]/ndroid.widget.TextView[1]/android.widget.EditText[2]")).sendKeys("Check@localmail.com");

but still it is not working. enter image description here

I want to insert email id. It is nor showing "id". So I tried with using above xpath but still it is not inserting. — Kaivalya, May 22 '14 at 08:58

A better way of doing this is as follows -

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//EditText[contains(@text,'Edit ID')]"));

u can do it in another way ,u know that there are 5 textfields , hence write the code as below.

driver.findelements(By.tagname("textfield")).get(0).sendkeys("abc@gmail.com"));

this means that you are trying to pass the abc@gmail.com value in the first text field "get(0)".

and i guess you need to update your appium version to the latest one or try using uiautomator to inspect elements. – Vignesh May 23 '14 at 08:11
I tried but it is giving me invalid locator. Moreover I have 1.0.0.3 (orion) version and uiautomator shows "id" but when I use it in code, system(appium) does not insert email id. – Kaivalya May 23 '14 at 10:21

By using the available properties - index and class name, you can try with the below xpath

//android.widget.EditText[@index='2']
