Answer 1

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("element id here"));
Point point = element.getLocation();

//you can change follwing point based on your link location
int x = point.x +1;  
int y = point.y + element.getSize().getHeight() - 1;

new TouchAction(driver).tap(x, y).perform();

I find this solution here in appium discussion

Answer 2

I usually try to avoid XPATH in my tests, hence to search for Elements by Text I am doing something like this, which will return a By element to be used in the webdriver interaction.

public static By byText(final String text)
{
    switch (Configuration.getInstance().getPlatform())
    {
        case ANDROID:
            // This requires a UiAutomator2 test driver:
            return MobileBy.AndroidUIAutomator("new UiSelector().text(\"" + text + "\")");
        case IOS:
        default:
            throw new RuntimeException("not implemented");
    }
}

Unfortunately I don't know the equivalent to iOS just now, but it should also be possible somehow ;)

Use this simple code

JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
