having the same issue.. As you can see the numbers are same 1589092127478

   For your reference the last time the event queue was idle before your activity launch request was 
   1589092127478 and now the last time the queue went idle was: 1589092127478. If these numbers 
   are the same your activity might be hogging the event queue.

But the issue persists only in some devices(Worked on Android API level 21 but not on API 10).

Looks like the Activity cannot be launched and the runner is timing out. Can you actually see the Activity start on the device? Does the Activity launch if you start it manually? Which emulator and/or device have you been using? Does this happen only on a specific device. It also looks like you made some changes to the sample itself do you mind posting your build.gradle file?

Great thanks, a lot of developers see similar issue recently. There is a tools bug for it: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=192497 and i also posted a solution to our testing codelab: https://github.com/googlecodelabs/android-testing/blob/master/app/build.gradle#L96
