Hi TuHuynh, Do you say that even absolute xpath given below too doesn’t work. I had tried this way too but no luck. driver.findElement(By.xpath("//android.widget.FrameLayout[@index=‘0’]/android.widget.LinearLayout[@index=‘0’]/android.widget.FrameLayout[@index=‘0’]/android.widget.LinearLayout[@index=‘0’]/android.widget.FrameLayout[@index=‘0’]/android.view.View/android.widget.LinearLayout[@index=‘1’]/android.support.v4.view.ViewPager[@index=‘2’]/android.view.View/android.widget.LinearLayout[@ind…

Hopefully it helps you.

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.
