My android app has a service which sends notifications to user based on parameters like number of runs of the app. The notifications are sent at different times in different situations. I want to test whether notifications are sent at the right times in all the different cases. Does android provide a way of such a testing ?
Testing Notification using UIAutomator:
Just go through the below code. It will help you in testing the notification.
UiDevice device = UiDevice.getInstance(InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation());
device.openNotification();
device.wait(Until.hasObject(By.text(NOTIFICATION_TITLE)), TIMEOUT);
UiObject2 title = device.findObject(By.text(NOTIFICATION_TITLE));
UiObject2 text = device.findObject(By.text(NOTIFICATION_TEXT));
assertEquals(NOTIFICATION_TITLE, title.getText());
assertEquals(NOTIFICATION_TEXT, text.getText());
title.click();
device.wait(Until.hasObject(By.text(ESPRESSO.getName())), TIMEOUT);
Don't forget to add the UIAutomator dependencies in build.gradle.
// UIAutomator dependency
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.uiautomator:uiautomator-v18:2.1.1'

Here is a nice explanation of this topic:
Espresso for Android is perfect and fast test automation framework,
but it has one important limitation - you are allowed to operate only
inside your app under test context.
This means, it is not possible to automate tests for app features such as:
application push notifications
contact synchronization
navigating from another app to your app under test,
Since you have to deal with other apps from the mobile device -
NotificationBar, Contacts or People app, etc.
In fact it wasn't possible until the release of UIAutomator 2.0. As
stated in Android Developers blog post - "...Most importantly, UI
Automator is now based on Android Instrumentation...". And because
of that we can run UIAutomator tests as well as Espresso tests
using Instrumentation test runner.
In addition to that we can combine UIAutomator tests together with
Espresso tests and this gives us the real power and control over the
phone and application under test.

Q. How to capture screenshots while writing the UI test cases in android studio using espresso tool, kotlin language and robolectric test cases using act, arrange and assert
For mobile android application -
1. I am writing the test cases using android studio, kotlin language and robolectric form- act, arrange and assert android UI Test cases.
Running test cases on - emulator, real device
In act- login the app
In arrange - Go to specific screen and perform click function
In assert- validating the UI with specific fields and column text fields and value.
I want to capture the screenshots in between where the assert commands failed or code exit with an error. I was new to kotlin but now learnt how to write the code, need help in how to capture the screenshot in this case.
I had searched helping code on google and try out to find some hint but didn't get much to understand.
Below is the code -
#Test
fun loginSuccess() {
// arrange
// act
onView(withId(R.id.login)).perform(click())
// assert
onView(withId(R.id.logoImg)).check(matches(isDisplayed()))
}
You can refer to this article. There is not a single method which handles everything for you.https://medium.com/#mohitgupta92/custom-failure-handler-for-android-espresso-c8c99eb65a32
I am trying to automate my android application. When I start the test I try to switch environment from the debug drawer. While switching environment the application closed and opens a new instance for that particular environment. The test fails the time the application closes.
Getting this error: Reason: 'Instrumentation run failed due to 'Process crashed.''
IS there any way the script does not fail and wait until the new application opens
You need to use uiautomator along with espresso for this kind of use cases.Use Uiautomator to switch the environment and then let the espresso steps run.
For more details refer-https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/testing-support-library/index.html#UIAutomator
The UI Automator testing framework provides a set of APIs to build UI tests that perform interactions on user apps and system apps. The UI Automator APIs allows you to perform operations such as opening the Settings menu or the app launcher in a test device. The UI Automator testing framework is well-suited for writing black box-style automated tests, where the test code does not rely on internal implementation details of the target app.
I'm building a voip app and will be using Android's incoming call UI. I've successfully registered a phoneAccount using the TelecomManager and managed to get addNewIncomingCall working.
The problem is that when the phone is locked I get the incoming call UI but NO actions to answer or dismiss the call.
In the other hand, if the phone is not locked I still get the incoming call UI but it DOES contain actions to answer or dismiss the call.
Any ideas as to what might be happening?
I can attach code if needed.
But basically I'm following this android's documentation:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telecom/TelecomManager.html
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/telecom/ConnectionService.html
There is a test implementation of these APIs in the AOSP repository. Take a look at how the TestConnectionService does things.
Be forewarned, the CTS test coverage for these APIs was not complete in M (or even N for that matter), so its possible that OEMs do not fully support them in their intended manner. Starting in O the CTS test coverage has been improved so OEM compatibility should improve.
onView(withId(R.id.BUTTON))
.perform(click())
.check(matches(withContentDescription(R.id.my_layout)));
onView(withId(R.id.tp_layout))
.check(matches(isDisplayed()));
I am trying to test whether button click migrates to next screen or not..
how can I match, with this only first test is running and it displays tests failed.
You can use an Espresso extension - Espresso-Intents.
Here is the official tutorial.
Quick quote:
Espresso-Intents is an extension to Espresso, which enables validation
and stubbing of intents sent out by the application under test. It’s
like Mockito, but for Android Intents.
If your app delegates functionality to other apps or the platform, you
can use Espresso-Intents to focus on your own app's logic while
assuming that other apps or the platform will function correctly. With
Espresso-Intents, you can match and validate your outgoing intents or
even provide stub responses in place of actual intent responses.
Is there a way out that i can perform actions using espresso once i leave my application to some external application?
I am opening android image picker and want to select an image from the activity
Generally, this is not possible with Espresso. You will get a SecurityException, if you send events to any window controlled by a different user id.
Here are a few things you could try:
create a custom AOSP build and disable the security checks
for API 16+ you can use uiautomator tests instead of instrumentation tests
on API 18+ you can use instrumentation.getUIAutomation()
