Espresso - TextView contains String

Question

Quite simply, how do I say if a given TextView contains a specific string in Espresso.

The equivalent of: myStrings.contains("Subby");

Answer 1

You can use the Hamcrest library. It has a method containsString. I believe it is in the Espresso library.

You can static import it in your class:

import static org.hamcrest.core.StringContains.containsString; 

Use containsString in your method on a TextView:

textView.check(matches(withText(containsString("Test"))));
