Answer 1

The below code works:

    //open the url
    driver.get("https://www.facebook.com");
    Screen screen = new Screen();

    //##################### ONE TIME STEP STARTS ###############################

    //A overlay screen will apear that asks you to take the screen shot
    // select the area you want to capture
    ScreenImage scrImgFile = screen.userCapture();
    Pattern pattern = null;

    //THis method will save the file to the current directory
    String path = scrImgFile.getFile(".");

    //This will print the full path of the save file
    System.out.println("Please note down the file Path: ");
    System.out.println(path);

    //  rerun the program by replacing the below path with the path we got above

    //##################### ONE TIME STEP ENDS ###############################

    pattern = new Pattern("D:\\selenium_poc_java\\Selenium_basic\\.\\sikuliximage-1588144437209.png");

    try {
        screen.click(pattern);
    } catch (FindFailed e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Code explanation:

1. We capture the element image using the interactive mode of silkuli (userCapture())
2. We save the capture to current directory, the file name is generated randomly (getFile()
3. Note down the file path printed
4. Replace the path in pattern with the file path printed, Remove the code block between one time step starts and one time step ends. Rerun the code

Output

If you use Pattern(Path) then you can click any element realtime:

For clicking Desktop applications (or any folder):

Clcik properties and goto general tab, copy the location and paste it in Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop"));

     Screen screen = new Screen();

    //import java.awt.Desktop;
    Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop"));

    //##################### ONE TIME STEP STARTS ###############################

    //A overlay screen will apear that asks you to take the screen shot
    // select the area you want to capture
    ScreenImage scrImgFile = screen.userCapture();
    Pattern pattern = null;

    //THis method will save the file to the current directory
    String path = scrImgFile.getFile(".");

    //This will print the full path of the save file
    System.out.println("Please note down the file Path: ");
    System.out.println(path);

    //  rerun the program by replacing the below path with the path we got above

    //##################### ONE TIME STEP ENDS ###############################

    pattern = new Pattern(path);

    try {
        screen.click(pattern);
    } catch (FindFailed e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }  


}

Update:

you can use App.open("C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop"); also to open the desktop insted of using awt. This is much faster that awt.

import org.sikuli.script.App;
