Click on not fully visible imageButton with Espresso

Question

I have a custom ImageButton that is not fully visible, by design, so when I perform a click action I get this error:

android.support.test.espresso.P         


        

Answer 1

Default click of Espresso is requiring visibility of view > 90%. What do you think about creating an own click ViewAction? Like this...

public final class MyViewActions {
   public static ViewAction click() {
      return new GeneralClickAction(SafeTap.SINGLE, GeneralLocation.CENTER, Press.FINGER);
    }
}

This click will click on the center of your view.

Then you could execute click like this: onView(withId(....)).perform(MyViewActions.click());

I hope it could work.
