Hi TuHuynh,

Thanks for your advice, it works now.

so I changed the xpath from :

xpath="//android.widget.LinearLayout[0]/android.widget.RelativeLayout[0]/android.widget.RelativeLayout[0]/android.widget.ImageView[0]"

to :

xpath="//android.widget.LinearLayout[@index='0']/android.widget.RelativeLayout[@index='0']/android.widget.RelativeLayout[@index='0']/android.widget.ImageView[@index='0']"

And it works now.
