I am performing automated testing of an android application and I would like to select elements by @id. I have been using a proprietary software called SeeTest Automation because it performs "instrumentation" to allow selection by @ids. I'd like to switch to Appium, but I can't figure out how to select elements by @id.
When I view the app layout from uiautomateviewer, elements do not have @ids. How do I ensure I can select elements by @id from Appium?
UIautomatorviewer and appium inspector display element id with resource-id field. If you share screenshot of your uiautomatireviewer or appium inspector then I can tell you exact id for the element.
