[wreed]

Probably a timing issue. Have you looked into wrapping your element search into an Implicit wait?

[dasuner]

Could you please share the appium logs, the code you got failed, a screenshot of the (uiautomatorvier or inspector) with your element

[Ritesh_Sinha]

Use ----> WebDriver driver; instead of AppiumDrivrer or AndroidDriver.
Use -----> RemoteWebDriver instead of AndroidDriver ie… new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(“url here”));
then use…
findElement(by.xpath(“xpath of element”);
then there will be no error…
bye.
