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

Same issue resolved with the following:

editText.perform(scrollTo(), click(), clearText(), typeText(myInput), closeSoftKeyboard())

Interestingly, I only ever had a problem when my machine was working hard.
