The question is not clear . Please state what you have done , the screen shot of xml what is your main objective as "click on create account button" is not clear. The guidelines are in https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask — john, Oct 22 '19 at 12:38

androidDriver.findElementByXPath("//android.view.ViewGroup[@content-desc="ScreenLogin"]/android.view.ViewGroup/android.widget.ScrollView/android.view.ViewGroup/android.view.ViewGroup/android.view.ViewGroup[5]").click();

Note: you can't click() on TextView widget element, you will get an exception by appium. I believe you could shorten this xpath removing unnecessary tree elements.
