espresso testing used in fragment

Issue

I've never used espresso before. Now i want to auto type some text in editText field fragment. I know only how to do it with Activity.

@LargeTest
public class EspressoTest {


    @Rule
    public ActivityTestRule<CheckInActivity> mActivityRule =
            new ActivityTestRule<>(CheckInActivity.class);
    @Test
    public void testActivityShouldHaveText() throws InterruptedException {
        onView(withId(R.id.editText)).perform(clearText(), typeText("KI"));
    }
}

I have MainFragment hosted by MainActivity and editText is placed inside MainFragment layout.

Also is there a way in espresso to click on some text, so it could find the view by text?

Solution

For now i decided to use robotium because yet i don't know how to implement it using espresso Robotium has such methods as waitForFragment and waitForActivity
