Try with this:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='android.widget.ImageView' and @content-desc='Photo taken on 13 May 2016 12.50']")).click();

Try to write it with this manner it will select only the first :

  driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.ImageView[contains(@resource-id,'id of your image')]")).click();

With this code you can select any elements you want just put instead of i the element you want starting from 0 for the first one :

driver.findElements(By.xpath("//android.widget.ImageView[contains(@resource-id,‌'id of your image')]")).get(i).click();

Welcome, happy for that ;) ( i'm Emna not Emma haha) – Emna Ayadi May 20 '16 at 08:11
I have a cool idea for you to select any elements, try to compile this code and instead i put any element you want for example when i = 0 it's the first elemnt : `driver.findElements(By.xpath("//android.widget.ImageView[contains(@resource-id,'id of your image')]")).get(i).click();` – Emna Ayadi May 20 '16 at 09:00
Sorry for the spelling mistake . – jyotsana namdev May 20 '16 at 09:14
No problem, did you try the second one ? – Emna Ayadi May 20 '16 at 09:16
Yes i tried but click() method is undefined for the type Object – jyotsana namdev May 20 '16 at 09:22
So try to find how to locate elements than use the same logic ;) – Emna Ayadi May 20 '16 at 09:23

The best way is to go by creating xpath!

 find_element(xpath: "//android.widget.FrameLayout[1]").click

Change your class name accordingly if different.
