How to get the value of the attribute "resource id" and "content description" of the android element in appium java?

Question

I wanted to get the resource identifier and description of the contents of the android elements at runtime.

I tried this:

myElement.getAttribute("resource-id")
myElement.getAttribute("content-desc")

but getting an error like " this element does not have the resource-id attribute".

Is there any way to get this?
