Hi,
I am new to Appium and trying to select an object in the screen using the Tap() method in a native android app, the script passes successfully but the the object is not selected in the screen. when I use the click() method it works as expected. Here is my code snippet and the server log.

songselection.swipe(SwipeElementDirection.UP, 500);
MobileElement songs = (MobileElement) driver.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("new UiSelector().text(\"Song\")");
songs.swipe(SwipeElementDirection.UP, 500);
TouchAction touch =new TouchAction(driver);
touch.tap(driver.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("UiSelector().text(\"Song1\")"));
}
}

But when I try to select the same object using click() functionality it works as expected, the object in the screen is selected as expected.

Could you please share the differences between the Tap() and Click() function.
Thanks.
