Locating element is the basic activity to automate any web application or the mobile application. The action can only be performed on the element once we have located the element successfully. If the element is not located then we get NoSuchElementException.

The various methods provided by Appium to locate elements are:

f1. indElementByClassName(String className)
2. findElementByCssSelector(String css)
3. findElementById(String id)
4. findElementByLinkText(String link)
5. findElementByName(String Name)
6. findElementByPartialLinkText(String Link)
7. findElementByTagName(String TagName)
