Espresso - typeText not working

Question

I\'m trying to type some text inside an EditText:

    public void testSearch() {
          onView(withId(R.id.titleInput)).perform(typeText(\"Engineer\"));
          


        

Answer 1

Adding closeSoftKeyboard() after typeText() worked for me.

CODE:

onView(withId(R.id.editTextUserInput))
            .perform(typeText(STRING_TO_BE_TYPED), closeSoftKeyboard());

This is how it is documented in the Android docs.
