Issue: ViewAction closeSoftKeyboard() does ensure that soft keyboard is completely gone about testing-samples HOT 7 CLOSED

I know this is really dragging up a zombie thread, but I'm hitting the same issue now with androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.2.0 testing on Android 10 emulator.

It's an intermittent failure only (occurring on CI) leading to:

androidx.test.espresso.PerformException: Error performing 'single click' on view 'with string from resource id [X]

Screenshots on failure can show me the soft keyboard still open blocking the button trying to be clicked.

Does anyone have any idea what the workaround mentioned above is/was?

Tried to track it down, but the link about goes to a page "android-test-kit has Moved!" — which gives a link to google.github.io/android-testing-support-library, which then gives a 404.

Old Google Groups which mentioned the issue seem to have been taking offline too.

Hi,

I also had problems with opened soft keyboard, not only on Nexus devices. I solved that by adding a method like this

@Before
public void setup() {
closeSoftKeyboard();
}

Wish it might be helpful for someone.

@JoseAlcerreca, @bootstraponline your links are broken.
