Espresso

closeSoftKeyboard

void closeSoftKeyboard ()

Closes soft keyboard if open.

getIdlingResources

List<IdlingResource> getIdlingResources ()

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).

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.

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.

registerIdlingResources

boolean registerIdlingResources (IdlingResource... resources)

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)

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)

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)

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