The Problem is The View is Web View and Uiautomator is helpless against it
try using chrome inspect devices

hi Upendra, Can you please explain the web view issue.

I am checking with flipkart app in my mobile.
I am using Appium 1.4.16 and android 6.0.1 with real device (Nexus 5) in windows 10 OS laptop.

I am able to find remaining objects, except search box text field.

chrome inspect devices

What do you mean by chrome inspect devices. please share the info i am new to appium.

As you said its not WEB_VIEW, it's NATIVE_APP. I had checked with driver.getContextHandles();

I installed that app from store and on my LG Magna, Android 6.0 it is identifying without any problem:

Maybe its from your apk or the device

Hi Telmo,

With my curiosity, is the apk will change from device to device.
