Use appium inspector to locate Android element and record script
After the appium GUI and Android emulator are successfully launched, we can click the magnifying glass icon on appium GUI, and following screen should show.
As you can see, in the inspector, we can't see the elements' structure and nor the preview of app. So it's better for us not using appium inspector for Android app, but only for iOS app.
