I'm using Selenium Web Driver for automation and with this new app, I'm not able to find element by normal method. My code looks like:

 driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/md-sidenav/md-list[1]/md-list-item[2]/button")).click();

And I want to click on 'Views'. Need some help, I have tried following methods for xpath:

//span[contains(@class, 'ng-binding ng-scope') and normalize-space()='Data']

//div[1]/md-sidenav/descendant::span[text()='Data']/button ---- no success

When I'm using :

driver.findElement(By.xpath("html/body/div[1]/md-sidenav/md-list[1]/md-list-item[2]/button")).click();

Above code works but I don't want to use item[x], because they will changes very often.

Please help! Thanks!
