Match a View in WebView from Espresso in Android

Question

I want to match the user name text field inside a WebView which loads the Salesforce login page (but can also be applied to any other page with text fields).

I have tried with:

onView(withHint("User Name")).perform(typeText("[email protected]"));

But that doesn't work. Any better idea?

Answer 1

This can be achieved using Espresso Web 2.2 API

onWebView().withElement(findElement(Locator.ID,"username")).perform(webKeys("[email protected]"));
