I'm working on Appium on Windows 7. Since Appium Inspector doesn't work on Windows, what's an alternative way to find items?
Follow this tutorial to use Google uiautomatorviewer , which is what the Appium tutorial suggests using.
uiautomatorviewer
You can use UIAutomatorviewer to find items. if you have the Android SDK installed, you can run it by typing "uiautomatorviewer" in the CMD. D
Although it may be late to answer, but since it is not accepted at the moment.
You can now use it Appium Inspector on Windows .
