How to click editor on Espresso

How do you press the Editor Action key on an Android on-screen key using Espresso? I tried:

onView(withId(R.id.test_title)).perform(typeText("Sample Title"), pressKey(KeyEvent.FLAG_EDITOR_ACTION));

But it doesn't work. Any idea?

"pressKey" expects a KEY, not a FLAG. So pressing the key (KeyEvent.FLAG_EDITOR_ACTION) doesn't really make sense and definitely won't work.

But there is a ViewAction to press the editor action (IME), see static method: ViewActions # pressImeActionButton ()



You can see the implementation details for Espresso 1.x here:

Since this is the best Google result for anyone looking for how to send keys using Espresso, I would like to give an example: onView(withId(R.id.your_id)).perform(ViewActions.pressKey(KeyEvent.YOUR_KEY));

To send a shared key press in espresso, use something like this:

onView(isRoot()).perform(pressKey(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU));

This, for example, will dispatch a hardware menu button event to any view to open the overflow menu in the action / toolbar.

Note: To quickly add imports for these methods, place the blinking cursor on the unresolved method and then run Android Studio ➔ Help ➔ Find Action ➔ Find "show intention action"

➔ click the result parameter ➔ A popup will appear ➔ click on "Import static method ..."

. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut for Show Intentional Actions. More details here . Another way is to enable it "Add unambiguous imports on the fly"

in the settings.
