Whenever I am trying to use a list element, this error is showing
Type mismatch: cannot convert from WebElement to List<WebElement>
in appium. Please help!
List <WebElement>a=driver.findElement(By.className("android.widget.EditText"));

use findElements() method when you're trying to find a list of elements or more than one elements. It may be due to this.– demouser123Commented Aug 17, 2015 at 2:34

Voting to leave open. This is a type of question that I would have come to SQA looking for an answer for when I first started with automation.– Lyndon VroomanCommented Jan 27, 2016 at 18:08

Just replace the findElement () method with findElement**s**(plural).
Since the findElement method always returns a WebElement instead of a List of WebElements. The findElements method will return the list of webelements, which can be referred by a variable of type List<Webelement>.
So the line of code will looks like,..
List<WebElement> a=driver.findElements(By.className("android.widget.EditText"));
Done.
You are using findElement method which will return single element but you are try to save it in the list.
Your code should be
WebElement a=driver.findElement(By.className("android.widget.EditText"));
