For people that have this problem right now as of 1/7/2021 (European format). I had the same problem and solved it like this:

In your xml, maybe you have something like this:

As you saw the above xml code, i added app:endIconContentDescription="clear text". grab from the xml, app:endIconContentDescription="clear text" and add onView(withContentDescription("clear text")).perform(click()); in your Instrumented test method, in your test class, like:

    @Test
    public void testEdittext(){
    onView(withId(R.id.eddittext)).perform(typeText("Type something."));
    onView(withContentDescription("clear text")).perform(click());
    }

Forgot to say that this onView(withId(R.id.note_title)).perform(typeText("Type something.")); is the line that you must first write something in the edittext, so that the end icon(eddittext's right drawable) will show up and then click it.
