Android Espresso Testing for matching text content between two EditTexts

Issue

I have created a Android app which has Login Edit Text & Password EditText with condition that if both contents in Login EditText & Password EditText matches then its true else false . How to test it using Espresso Unit Testing

I have used below code .

 @Test
    public void validLogin() {
        onView(withId(R.id.edtUserId))
                .perform(typeText(mStringToBetyped), closeSoftKeyboard());
        onView(withId(R.id.edtPass))
                .perform(typeText(mValidPass), closeSoftKeyboard());
        onView(withId(R.id.loginBtn)).perform(click());

      //  onView(allOf(withId(R.id.edtUserId))).check(matches(withText(String.valueOf(allOf(withId(R.id.edtPass))))));

        onView(withId(R.id.edtUserId)).check(matches(isEditTextValueEqualTo(R.id.edtPass, mStringToBetyped)));

     /*   onView(allOf(withId(R.id.edtUserId)))
                .check(matches(withText(String.valueOf(withId(R.id.edtPass)))));*/


        try {
            Thread.sleep(10000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

Matcher<View> isEditTextValueEqualTo(final int viewId, final String content) {

    return new TypeSafeMatcher<View>() {

        @Override
        public void describeTo(Description description) {
            description.appendText("Match Edit Text Value with View ID Value : :  " + content);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean matchesSafely(View view) {
            if (view != null) {
                String editTextValue = ((EditText) view.findViewById(viewId)).getText().toString();

                if (editTextValue.equalsIgnoreCase(content)) {
                    return true;
                }
            }
            return false;
        }
    };
}

But it gives me error for Matcher as seen below

Solution

Here's a solution without using a custom matcher:

onView(withId(R.id.parentViewId)).check(matches(allOf(
            hasDescendant(allOf(withId(R.id.edtUserId), withText(mStringToBetyped))),
            hasDescendant(allOf(withId(R.id.edtPass), withText(mStringToBetyped)))
    )));

But since you're only comparing the text in 2 views, you can just use the Assert class as Bach Vu mentioned:

Assert.equals(edittext1.getText().toString(), edittext2.getText().toString())
