title: Using Appium to Automate Hybrid App
body: <p>I am attempting to use Appium to run some automated tests on a hybrid mobile device built using PhoneGap. I am currently trying to get the android version automated. </p>
  
  <p>I am successful at getting the tests to install the .apk onto the emulator, and the application is opened. I am doing this by running a node server (not sure if there are other ways). This is as far as I have been able to get. I am unsure of the next steps I have to take to find elements within my app and assert against them. </p>
  
  <p>I currently am using a python test script because I found an example using python. However, I am up for any language as long as there are resources out there for running tests. </p>
  
  <p>At this point I'm just confused on where to look. The Appium website does not seem to have thorough documentation on commands to use for testing.</p>
