Here is the complete code for the above discussion.

public class FirstAppiumTest {

	// Create instance for Appium Driver
	AppiumDriver driver;

	@BeforeClass
	public void Setup() throws MalformedURLException {

		DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
		cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "donatello");
		cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.Browser,	"Browser);

		driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(
				"http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), cap);

	}

	@Test
	public void SimpleTest() {

		// Navigate to google.cocm
		driver.get("http://www.google.com");
		// Search 
		driver.findElementByName("q").SendKeys("execute automation");
		// Click button 
		driver.findElementByName("btnG").click();
	}
}
