Create a package in src/test/java as 'appiumexamples'.
Create a testng class within this package.

To inspect a web element :
- Launch the emulator.
- Go to the desired mobile page.
- Now,start Appium Server.
- Click on Search icon.
- It will open a session window.
- Add Desired capabilites as shown in the image :

- Start session.
- A window will be opened that contains the mobile screen view of the emulator.
- Right-click on this mobile screen view and click on Inspect Element.
- Locate the webelement.

To know the udid of device :
- Run command 'adb devices' on command prompt.
- It will show a list of attached emulator.
- The integers written next to emulator is its udid.

Add below lines of code in testng class :

package appiumexamples;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;

public class FirstAppiumTest {
AndroidDriver<MobileElement> driver;
@FindBy(xpath = "//*[@text='AUTHENTICATE']")
WebElement authenticationButton;

@Test
public void firstAppiumTest() {

authenticationButton.click();
driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Start").click();
}

@BeforeClass
public void startSession() throws MalformedURLException {
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("deviceName", "Pixel 3 API 28"); // device Name
caps.setCapability("udid", 5554); // DeviceId from "adb devices" command
caps.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
caps.setCapability("skipUnlock", "true");
caps.setCapability("app","C:\\Users\\Dell\\appiumProject\\AndroidAppium\\src\\main\\resources\\apk\\cleardil_sdk_android_example_1.0.0.apk");caps.setCapability("noReset", "false");
driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), caps);
}

@AfterClass
public void closeSession() {
driver.closeApp();
}

}

Launch the emulator.
Start the Appium Server.
Run as 'TestNG Test'.
