Hi all,
Even i am facing the same issue. The images are not identified in UIautomator…
So i tried the below command

TouchAction element=new TouchAction(driver);
element.longPress(x, y).perform();

When i executed it gave me dropdown which showed me VIEW option,. Later i clicked on it and openend the image…

Is there any better approach to open an image???

Please help…
Any Suggestions would be helpfull

Thanks in advance
