In the Appium version 1.0 onwards, findElementByTagName is deprecated.

You have to use the findElementByClassName instead with qualified class Name. Code for EditTextField and Button in android as below :

findElements(By.className("android.widget.EditText"));

findElements(By.className("android.widget.Button"));
