   @amedvedjev It seems it is not the problem of java_client by itself. But it is possible that it is related to
   ByAll.

   What will happen if you change annotation sequence like

       @HowToUseLocators(androidAutomation = ALL_POSSIBLE)
       @AndroidFindBy(className = "android.widget.ImageView")
       @AndroidFindBy(className = "android.widget.ImageButton")
       @AndroidFindBy(id = "action_bar")

   It seems that ByAll returns the element tha was found first. By annotation sequence you can regulate the priority of the searching at ALL_POSSIBLE case. I'm not sure that it is needed to define the priority by annotations. However C# clint (Selenium and Appium too) page object attributes (annotations) can regulate it clearly. We could think about this feature further.

   what i need is:

   1. first search by some element -> @AndroidFindBy(id = "action_bar")
   2. then inside search by any element ->
      @AndroidFindBy(className = "android.widget.ImageView")
      @AndroidFindBy(className = "android.widget.ImageButton")

   e.g.

       @AndroidFindBy(id = "action_bar")
       @HowToUseLocators(androidAutomation = ALL_POSSIBLE) {
           @AndroidFindBy(className = "android.widget.ImageButton")
           @AndroidFindBy(className = "android.widget.ImageView")
       }
   

   another possibilities are also welcome:

   1. search by any -> then inside by any again
      e.g.

       @HowToUseLocators(androidAutomation = ALL_POSSIBLE) {
          @AndroidFindBy(id = "action_bar_1")
          @AndroidFindBy(id = "action_bar_2")
       }
       @HowToUseLocators(androidAutomation = ALL_POSSIBLE) {
           @AndroidFindBy(className = "android.widget.ImageButton")
           @AndroidFindBy(className = "android.widget.ImageView")
       }
