Answer 1

The problem is that your application performs the network operation after you click login button. Espresso doesn't handle (wait) network calls to finish by default. You have to implement your custom IdlingResource which will block the Espresso from proceeding with tests until IdlingResource returns back in Idle state, which means that network request is finished. Take a look at Espresso samples page - https://google.github.io/android-testing-support-library/samples/index.html
