Unable to find element using xpath with Appium (robot framework)

I am unable to identify element using xpath. I tried different types of xpath but could not identify it.

I want to identify the element "Bills" shown in the below pic. I don't have ID, so I am using xpath. I used below xpaths.

xpath=//android.app.ActionBar$Tab/TextView[@text='Bills'] and xpath=//android.app.ActionBar$Tab1/TextView[@text='Bills']

Please help me. I am struck here.

Use this :

xpath=(//android.widget.TextView[@text='Bills'])[1]

Its clear that there is index for this element from the UI Automator Viewer

Note:Group Index starts from 1.

You should use "class" of each selector for your xpath:

xpath=//android.widget.TextView[@text='Bills']

and if this wouldn't work, it means that you should add some previous classes (in higher hierarchy) in front of this one for this xpath to be unique.

Some times above xpath won't work.. it could be start from their parent elements like below,for eg:

Xpath=//android.widget.linerlayout[1]/android.widget.linerlayout[1]/android.widget.TextView[@text='Bills']

Since you don't seem to have any other element with the same properties, it might work if you remove the problematic part from the xpath and try with just:

xpath=//TextView[@text='Bills']
