Hello.  
I am just start work with appium, and i have some problem  
( starting android automation tests)  
With annotation @FindBy(id = “someId”) works correctly only for element displayed on the screen.  
I tried to fix it with

> JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;  
> HashMap scrollObjects = new HashMap();  
> scrollObjects.put(“direction”, “down”);  
> scrollObjects.put(“element”,  
> ((RemoteWebElement) someId).getId());  
> js.executeScript(“mobile: scrollTo”, scrollObjects);  
> Error:  
> java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.proxy.$Proxy11 cannot be cast to  
> org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebElement

Tried something like that

> touchAction.moveTo(someId);  
> Error:  
> java.lang.NullPointerException

Can someone help?

I initializad elements with PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);

</div>

With ((MobileElement) your\_element).getId()) i have next error

> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set io.appium.java\_client.MobileElement field elements.FilterElements.MyElement to com.sun.proxy.$Proxy11

Same thing.

> @FindBy(id = “element”)  
> private WebElement MyElement;

Constructor

> public FilterElements(AndroidDriver driver) {  
> this.driver = driver;  
> PageFactory.initElements(driver, this);  
> basePage = new BasePage(driver);  
> }

If i try do

> @AndroidFindBy(id = “element”)  
> private MobileElement MyElement;  
> Error:  
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set io.appium.java\_client.MobileElement field elements.FilterElements.element to com.sun.proxy.$Proxy11

update page to:

```auto
    public Page(WebDriver driver) {
        this.driver = driver;
        PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver, default_time_in_sec, TimeUnit.SECONDS), this);
    }

```
