Selecting child view at index using Espresso


With Espresso when using a custom widget view with child image views, which Matcher type can I use to select the nth child? Example:

+--------->NumberSlider{id=2131296844, res-name=number_slider, visibility=VISIBLE, width=700, height=95, has-focus=false, has-focusable=false, has-window-focus=true, is-clickable=false, is-enabled=true, is-focused=false, is-focusable=false, is-layout-requested=false, is-selected=false, root-is-layout-requested=false, has-input-connection=false, x=10.0, y=0.0, child-count=7}
|
+---------->NumberView{id=-1, visibility=VISIBLE, width=99, height=95, has-focus=false, has-focusable=false, has-window-focus=true, is-clickable=true, is-enabled=true, is-focused=false, is-focusable=false, is-layout-requested=false, is-selected=false, root-is-layout-requested=false, has-input-connection=false, x=0.0, y=0.0}
|
+---------->NumberView{id=-1, visibility=VISIBLE, width=100, height=95, has-focus=false, has-focusable=false, has-window-focus=true, is-clickable=true, is-enabled=true, is-focused=false, is-focusable=false, is-layout-requested=false, is-selected=false, root-is-layout-requested=false, has-input-connection=false, x=99.0, y=0.0}
|
+---------->NumberView{id=-1, visibility=VISIBLE, width=100, height=95, has-focus=false, has-focusable=false, has-window-focus=true, is-clickable=true, is-enabled=true, is-focused=false, is-focusable=false, is-layout-requested=false, is-selected=false, root-is-layout-requested=false, has-input-connection=false, x=199.0, y=0.0}
|
+---------->NumberView{id=-1, visibility=VISIBLE, width=100, height=95, has-focus=false, has-focusable=false, has-window-focus=true, is-clickable=true, is-enabled=true, is-focused=false, is-focusable=false, is-layout-requested=false, is-selected=false, root-is-layout-requested=false, has-input-connection=false, x=299.0, y=0.0}
|
+---------->NumberView{id=-1, visibility=VISIBLE, width=100, height=95, has-focus=false, has-focusable=false, has-window-focus=true, is-clickable=true, is-enabled=true, is-focused=false, is-focusable=false, is-layout-requested=false, is-selected=false, root-is-layout-requested=false, has-input-connection=false, x=399.0, y=0.0}

|
+---------->NumberView{id=-1, visibility=VISIBLE, width=100, height=95, has-focus=false, has-focusable=false, has-window-focus=true, is-clickable=true, is-enabled=true, is-focused=false, is-focusable=false, is-layout-requested=false, is-selected=false, root-is-layout-requested=false, has-input-connection=false, x=599.0, y=0.0}

Solution

  • While the answers in this thread do work, I just wanted to point out that it is possible to get a handle on a particular child of a particular view without having to define a new Matcher class.

    You can do so by joining up the view matchers offered by Espresso into a method as follows:

    /**
     * Creates a [Matcher] that matches the child [View] which has the given [position] within the specified parent.
     *
     * @param parentViewId The resource id of the parent [View].
     * @param position The child index of the [View] to match.
     * @return A [Matcher] that matches the child [View] which has the given [position] within the specified parent.
     */
    fun withPositionInParent(parentViewId: Int, position: Int): Matcher<View> {
        return allOf(withParent(withId(parentViewId)), withParentIndex(position))
    }
    

    You will call on this method as follows:

    onView(
        withPositionInParent(R.id.parent, 0)
    ).check(
        matches(withId(R.id.child))
    )
