Not able to inspect element of drop down using UIA

Question

I want to select options from drop down on Android but I am not able to inspect element of drop down. Also these elements are not present in hierarchy as well.

I can browse the hierarchy and inspect other controls, I can't inspect the elements of a drop down list. UIAutomatorViewer just doesn't let me to click the drop down list. Instead, it shows a blue rectangle around the element which is under the drop down list. I have tried uiautomatorviewer, hierarchyviewer as well as Appium Inspector and all three have the same problem. Is there any way to work around this?

Dropdown is also not of tag Select

I am able to locate that element on Note previously I was using Tab Issue is still there on Tab but by using Note I am able to click on that element.

Thanks All for you responds

You can use driver.scrollToExact("Item Name"), where Item Name is option you want to select from drop-down.
