Difference between click() and tap()

You can use x-y coordinates if you know them to tap that region of the screen

is this app a hybrid app or native app? if your app is a hybrid then you not be able to inspect element using UI automator you can try use chrome remote debugger.

Thanks .It is a native app.I will try chrome remote bugger .The main problem is with touching the object even though i have exact coordinates. I can actually see that it is performing touch by enabling show touches settings option in my tablet .Besides i am not able to see the window that has to be opened after touch is performed.

One quick question about the coordinates. Is it correct that when you dump the View Hierarchy from the DDMS and then click on the specific element you get the coordinates?

Hi Osamaa

you can get element co-ordinates from the WebElement itself.
Try the below code :
WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.className("abc"));
Point loc = ele.getLocation();
int x = loc.getX();
int y = loc.getY();
driver.tap(x, ele, y);

Hope this will help
