Selendroid not able to find elements in webview

Question

This may be strange question to ask. I am quite new to Mobile app testing. There are 2 hybrid apps.( One for Test purpose and one is deliverable app.) I am loading same URLs in WebView of both the apps. However, selendroid & appium are not able to locate elements loaded in deliverable app. But elements are getting located in test app. Both apps are built with

API level 19 
SDK version 21
WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);

What could be the problem.

Make sure webview is enable on your deliverable app. – Gaurav Aug 12 '15 at 13:17 — Gaurav, Aug 12 '15 at 13:17

I could resolve the issue. Actually there were 2 WebViews in deliverable app. (WEBVIEW_1, WEBVIEW_0) I was switching to first(spinner view) and was trying to locate element which are actually present in WEBVIEW_0) . Thus, shifting to required webview solved the problem.
