You can also take adb dump in order to find full xml of current activity in android and get locators by pulling this through xml file. uiautomatorviewer does the same internally.

Hey @Mahadevgouda, you can use Chrome Browser DevTools -> Devices . Go to url : chrome://inspect/#devices . Will show your connected devices and you can inspect elements on current page.
