Retrieve value from within a div tag in xpath

I am trying to retrieve the value in the data-appid field, I have tried using following-sibling but its not really a sibling per se. Not sure how to go about retrieving this. Any pointers will really be great. 

<div class="section app" data-appid="532054761" data-updateid="10184169">

You need to use getAttribute() method

Try the following code

String dataAppId = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='section app']")).getAttribute("data-appid");
System.out.println(dataAppId);

The sibling axis applies to elements, not attributes.

You can reference data-appid simply as an attribute of the div element. For example,

//div/@data-appid

will select 532054761

If you need to be more specific about the particular div element for which you want its data-appid, you can use a predicate to select a particular div element. For example:

//div[@data-updateid='10184169']/@data-appid
