Is your feature request related to a problem?

For a quite a while now, I've been dealing with apps that show content on multiple displays.
E.g., a POS app that apart from the main screen, has a secondary screen for the customer to see the transaction.
Currently three's no way to switch the driver's focus between displays, interact with the those elements and do assertions.

UiAutomator just added support for multiple displays on version 2.3.0 as we can read here: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/test-uiautomator#2.3.0

Would it be possible to implement that in the upcoming version(s) of Appium?

Describe the solution you'd like.

Being able to switch the driver's focus between displays.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Have you tried currentDisplayId via settings API? https://github.com/appium/appium-uiautomator2-driver?tab=readme-ov-file#settings-api

Hmmmm, aren't those settings only settable/available when setting up/creating the driver?
Not sure how I'd use that to change the driver screen focus on the fly.

Settings are not the same as capabilities, and can be changed at any time during a session. For more information, check the Settings API documentation.

Understood. I'll give a try then👌
Thanks, guys.

Note: I'll keep the discussion open, it'd be cool to have the implementation abstracted in Appium.
