//Syntex
driver.findElement(MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator("new UiSelector().className(\"Enter the Class Name here\")"));

2 ) resourceId(String id): This method search for the locator or inspect element from the code hierarchy on the basis of resourceId present first on the code.

//Syntex

3) text(String text): Search on the basis of text visible on the widget of the page.
