From 1.5 Appium version - "name" locator got deprecated "Remove long-deprecated name locator strategy".

We can click the display text like this :

MobileElement makeTextLocartor = (MobileElement) wd

.findElementByAndroidUIAutomator("new UiSelector().text(\"+<your_text>+\")");

makeTextLocartor.click();
