Testing background color espresso Android

Question

Is it possible to check if the background color matches a given color with espresso?

Update:

I made a custom matcher, similar to what @Irfa

Answer 1

It is possible to to test on color. I created a method to test on TextView background color as below. Also notice that am passing color resource.

 private fun withBackgroundColor(@ColorInt color: Int): Matcher {
        Checks.checkNotNull(color)
        return object : BoundedMatcher(TextView::class.java) {
            override fun describeTo(description: Description?) {
                description?.appendText("TextView background color to be $color")
            }

            override fun matchesSafely(item: TextView?): Boolean {
                val backgroundColor = item?.background as ColorDrawable
                val colorDrawable = ColorDrawable(ContextCompat.getColor(item.context, color))
                return colorDrawable.color == backgroundColor.color
            }

        }
    }

I create ColorDrawable object from color resource and get color from the object.

Comparing color from resource without the ColorDrawable does not pass. Hope this helps you.
