Here find my code

@Test
public static void test() throws InterruptedException {
Thread.sleep(2000);
driver.findElementByAccessibilityId(“Self, tab, 3 of 5”).click();
//driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//android.view.ViewGroup/android.widget.Button[contains(@text, ‘Self’)]”)).click();
// driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//android.widget.Button[contains(@content-desc, ‘Self, tab, 3 of 5’)]”)).click();
// driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//android.widget.Button[@content-desc="Self, tab, 3 of 5"]”)).click();
}

I tried AccessibilityId,xpath but no luck can anybody suggest me some suggetions.

Have you set automation name capability?
if not, then try setting it to ‘uiautomator2’

@Mahadev, you can use Appium Desktop to test the locator before using it in the code.
