To begin with STF you can clone seleniumtests project. It is a sample project which uses STF maven dependency and demonstrate it's feature.
If you want to try STF in your own project then please add following dependency to your project -

When there is a new version of seleniumtestsframework is released you should update <version>1.0</version>  in your pom.xml file and install latest seleniumtestsframework.jar

Return only first or last element from webelements collection

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos .     We often come across situation when there are multiple elements on a page and we probably like to exercise only a few of them using selenium webdriver. May be just first and last element. For example on a search result page we may like to click on only first and last link and not all. This is when Iterables API comes handy. (By the way I am assuming that you have already completed watching selenium training videos :)). Once we have collection of web element then we can use Iterables to get only first or last element as following - Consider that we fetch collection of element as - List< WebElement > webElements = getDriver().findElements(By. id ( "htmlID" ));   Now we can get the first web element from this collection as -  WebElement firstElement = Iterables. getFirst (webElements,  getDriver().findElement(By. id ( "defaultElement" )));   Herein second

FAQ

Back to Appium Tutorial Index Element Location Strategy  -  Launch UIAutomationViewer as -  uiautomatorviewer & Following is an example for UIAutomationViewer and using it to find elements on Android App. Herein an image of UIAutomationViewer with calculator application -  The Element 64 can be identified as -  driver.findElement(By.name("64")); driver.findElement(By.id("com.android.calculator2:id/formula")); driver.findElement(By.className("android.widget.EditText")); Element location by TagName is deprecated. Refer Stackoverflow  post1  and  post2  for more on this. You can also use xPath strategy to identify element as described in this  post .
