Update ! The following approach is not for web testing:

Could you try to find the element using xpath?

@FindBy(xpath="//android.widget.EditText[contains(@resource-id, 'url')]")

So in your case you can try the following:

var element = _driver.findElementByXPath("//android.widget.EditText[contains(@resource-id, 'url')]");

Update: in case of testing web apps (not native) you should use web page locators instead of Android classes.
