Answer 1

Once you call any activity outside your application, it’s not possible to come back to your application using solo.<any API>, because solo is tight to UID of your application and doesn't work on other app's activity (with different UID).

Basically solo can only work on activities which belong to the application for which it’s created.

Answer 2

Please try methods like

solo.clickOnView(R.id.myBtn)

to click on your button You can also try

solo.clickOnButton()

To go back to activity you can use

solo.goBack();

or

solo.goBackToActivity("ActivityName");
