facing an issue while executing Xpath with Index code in APPIUM

Appium logs patch: 

[debug] [AndroidBootstrap] [BOOTSTRAP LOG] [debug] Returning result: {"status":32,"value":"javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Extra illegal tokens: ')', '[', '2', ']'"}
[debug] [AndroidBootstrap] Received command result from bootstrap
[debug] [MJSONWP] Matched JSONWP error code 32 to InvalidSelectorError
[debug] [W3C (065be1bf)] Encountered internal error running command: InvalidSelectorError: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Extra illegal tokens: ')', '[', '2', ']'

Eclipse Code:

    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    //to click on specific object/position on a screen
    driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.TextView[@text='Preference']").click();
    driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.TextView[@text='3. Preference dependencies']").click();
    //finding element by ID
    driver.findElementById("android:id/checkbox").click();
    // 
    driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.RelativeLayout)[2]").click();

    driver.findElementByClassName("//android.widget.EditText").sendKeys("Hello");
    driver.findElementsByClassName("android.widget.Button").get(1).click();

Till 3rd line, the code works and fine but at that, it stops and doesn't go to the next lines of code and shows the above error in Appium.

A bracket is missing in the line driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.RelativeLayout)[2]").click();

If you are going to the 2nd index using the xpath, you need to add a bracket before starting the xpath like:

driver.findElementByXPath("(//android.widget.RelativeLayout)[2]").click();

Also, in the next line you are using className, and if you are using any tag like id or className while identifying the element then // is not used, so you need to change it to:

driver.findElementByClassName("android.widget.EditText").sendKeys("Hello");

else it will throw a NoSuchElementException.
