Provides base-level UI operations (such as injection of MotionEvents) that can be used to build user actions such as clicks, scrolls, swipes, etc. This replaces parts of the android Instrumentation class that provides similar functionality. However, it provides a more advanced synchronization mechanism for test actions. The key differentiators are:
- test actions are assumed to be called on the main thread
- after a test action is initiated, execution blocks until all messages in the main message queue have been cleared.

Public functions
injectKeyEvent
fun injectKeyEvent(event: KeyEvent!): Boolean
Injects a key event into the application.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
event: KeyEvent! |
the (non-null!) event to inject |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Boolean |
true if the event was injected, false otherwise |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
androidx.test.espresso.InjectEventSecurityException |
if the event couldn't be injected because it would interact with another application. |
injectMotionEvent
fun injectMotionEvent(event: MotionEvent!): Boolean
Injects a motion event into the application.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
event: MotionEvent! |
the (non-null!) event to inject |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Boolean |
true if the event was injected, false otherwise |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
androidx.test.espresso.InjectEventSecurityException |
if the event couldn't be injected because it would interact with another application. @Deprecated Please use injectMotionEventSequence this method will be removed in future. |
injectMotionEventSequence
fun injectMotionEventSequence(events: (Mutable)Iterable<MotionEvent!>!): Boolean
injectString
fun injectString(str: String!): Boolean
Types a string into the application using series of KeyEvents. It is up to the implementor to decide how to map the string to KeyEvent objects. If you need specific control over the key events generated use injectKeyEvent.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
str: String! |
the (non-null!) string to type |
| Returns | |
|---|---|
Boolean |
true if the string was injected, false otherwise |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
androidx.test.espresso.InjectEventSecurityException |
if the events couldn't be injected because it would interact with another application. |
loopMainThreadForAtLeast
fun loopMainThreadForAtLeast(millisDelay: Long): Unit
Loops the main thread for a specified period of time.
Control may not return immediately, instead it'll return after the provided delay has passed and the queue is in an idle state again.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
millisDelay: Long |
time to spend in looping the main thread |
loopMainThreadUntilIdle
fun loopMainThreadUntilIdle(): Unit
Loops the main thread until the application goes idle.
An empty task is immediately inserted into the task queue to ensure that if we're idle at this moment we'll return instantly.
