Answer 1

What I think is you need exact way of using resource-id in appium. I have used resource-id with with xpath and it is working great.

you need to find exact resource-id from elements in appium and then make xpath with that ID.

For example: let say your div has ID "stackOverFlowDivId". then your xpath will be : xpath=//*[@resource-id='stackOverFlowDivId']

Use this method and try finding xpath in appium.

Hope you get success. Best luck.
