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

For the same error on a text view I ended up doing as below, the answers posted above and other SO questions were a lot of help. I did try scrollTo method, but for some reason the error persisted. Hope this helps someone.

        onView(allOf(withId(R.id.recycler_view), isDisplayed())).perform(RecyclerViewActions
                .actionOnItem(hasDescendant(withText("my text")), click()));
