Using Appium how can we test the Element which is not visible at a specific testing time? Please help!

Generally this happens when either element is not visible in the viewport or it’s not rendered yet. You can try the following things :

  1. Check if element exist in the DOM (but out of viewport area) using findElement
  2. For rendering thing, you can add some delay before accessing the element. For this Appium provides Explicit wait/Expected conditions for accomplishing this task.
 WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,20);
 wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated("");
