java - android testing - EditText returning empty even when it has characters -
i'm trying perform functional test on edittext, sending text first gaining focus on field using following snippet:
instrumentation.runonmainsync(new runnable() { @override public void run() { edittext.requestfocus(); } }
and sending string via:
instrumentation.waitforidlesync(); instrumentation.sendstringsync("some text"); instrumentation.waitforidlesync();
if run test , watch it, text being input edittext, when try use in assertion, edittext returns empty text:
assertfalse(edittext.gettext().tostring().isempty());
i've tried logging text, returns empty string, if there no text in edittext. have tried running assertion on separate runnable or after delay no avail.
temporary solution: meantime, i'm passing test manually adding
edittext.settext("some text");
before assertion, though think there better or correct way.
another work-around i've found using android espresso. after sending string edittext via instrumentation, can assert validity via:
onview(withtext("some text")).check(matches(isdisplayed()));
