Espresso

closeSoftKeyboard

void closeSoftKeyboard ()

Closes soft keyboard if open.

getIdlingResources

List<IdlingResource> getIdlingResources ()

This method is deprecated.
use getResources() instead.

Returns a list of all currently registered IdlingResources.

onData

DataInteraction onData (Matcher<? extends Object> dataMatcher)

Creates an DataInteraction for a data object displayed by the application. Use this method to load (into the view hierarchy) items from AdapterView widgets (e.g. ListView).

This method builds a DataInteraction object - it does not interact with the application under test at all. It is expected that the caller use the ViewInteraction object to perform an action or assertion.

onIdle

void onIdle ()

Loops the main thread until the app goes idle.

Only call this method for tests that do not interact with any UI elements, but require Espresso's main thread synchronisation! This method is mainly useful for test utilities and frameworks that are build on top of Espresso.

For UI tests use onView(Matcher) or onData(Matcher). These Apis already use Espresso's internal synchronisation mechanisms and do not require a call to onIdle().

onIdle

T onIdle (Callable<T> action)

Loops the main thread until the app goes idle.

Same as onIdle(), but takes an additional Callable as parameter, which is executed after the app goes idle.

onView

ViewInteraction onView (Matcher<View> viewMatcher)

Creates a ViewInteraction for a given view. Note: the view has to be part of the view hierarchy. This may not be the case if it is rendered as part of an AdapterView (e.g. ListView). If this is the case, use Espresso.onData to load the view first.

This method builds a ViewInteraction object - it does not interact with the application under test at all. It is expected that the caller use the ViewInteraction object to perform an action or assertion.

openActionBarOverflowOrOptionsMenu

void openActionBarOverflowOrOptionsMenu (Context context)

Opens the overflow menu displayed within an ActionBar.

This works with both native and SherlockActionBar ActionBars.

Note the significant differences of UX between ActionMode and ActionBars with respect to overflows. If a hardware menu key is present, the overflow icon is never displayed in ActionBars and can only be interacted with via menu key presses.

openContextualActionModeOverflowMenu

void openContextualActionModeOverflowMenu ()

Opens the overflow menu displayed in the contextual options of an ActionMode.

This works with both native and SherlockActionBar action modes.

Note the significant difference in UX between ActionMode and ActionBar overflows - ActionMode will always present an overflow icon and that icon only responds to clicks. The menu button (if present) has no impact on it.

pressBack

void pressBack ()

Press on the back button.

pressBackUnconditionally

void pressBackUnconditionally ()

Similar to pressBack() but will not throw an exception when Espresso navigates outside the application or process under test.

registerIdlingResources

boolean registerIdlingResources (IdlingResource... resources)

This method is deprecated.
use register(IdlingResource) instead.

Registers one or more IdlingResources with the framework. It is expected, although not strictly required, that this method will be called at test setup time prior to any interaction with the application under test. When registering more than one resource, ensure that each has a unique name. If any of the given resources is already registered, a warning is logged.

registerLooperAsIdlingResource

void registerLooperAsIdlingResource (Looper looper)

This method is deprecated.
use registerLooperAsIdlingResource(Looper) instead.

Registers a Looper for idle checking with the framework. This is intended for use with non-UI thread loopers.

registerLooperAsIdlingResource

void registerLooperAsIdlingResource (Looper looper, 
                boolean considerWaitIdle)

This method is deprecated.
use registerLooperAsIdlingResource(Looper) instead.

Registers a Looper for idle checking with the framework. This is intended for use with non-UI thread loopers.

This method allows the caller to consider Thread.State.WAIT to be 'idle'.

This is useful in the case where a looper is sending a message to the UI thread synchronously through a wait/notify mechanism.

setFailureHandler

void setFailureHandler (FailureHandler failureHandler)

Changes the default FailureHandler to the given one.

unregisterIdlingResources

boolean unregisterIdlingResources (IdlingResource... resources)

This method is deprecated.
use unregister(IdlingResource) instead.

Unregisters one or more IdlingResources. If any of the given resources are not already registered, a warning is logged.
