How can I dump UI objects programatically in Appium?

I have a C# project with Appium for Android to test Xamarin Android App.

I normally do Find Elements and Press Elements actions using Appium driver.

Now I am searching for a possibility to dump the entire UI objects and validate whether all the objects are present in the UI.

I am aware of UiAutomatorViewer.bat, but it is a manual activity. I want to do it programmatically to some XML format (or whatever possible).

Is there any way to do dump programmatically? Any alternative suggestion is also welcome.

Additional note: I know squish helps in that, but it is a paid version.

  • Thanks to Joe,

    For Appium Android in C#, use below command:

    Driver.PageSource;

    This will return UI dump as xml.
