Public methods

actionWithAssertions

ViewAction actionWithAssertions (ViewAction viewAction)

Performs all assertions before the ViewActions in this class and then performs the given ViewAction

Parameters
viewAction ViewAction: the ViewAction to perform after the assertions
Returns
ViewAction

addGlobalAssertion

void addGlobalAssertion (String name, 
                ViewAssertion viewAssertion)

Adds a ViewAssertion to be run every time a ViewAction in this class is performed. The assertion will be run prior to performing the action.

Parameters
name String: a name of the assertion to be added
viewAssertion ViewAssertion: a ViewAssertion to be added
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the name/viewAssertion pair is already contained in the global assertions.

click

ViewAction click (ViewAction rollbackAction)

Returns an action that performs a single click on the view. If the click takes longer than the 'long press' duration (which is possible) the provided rollback action is invoked on the view and a click is attempted again. This is only necessary if the view being clicked on has some different behaviour for long press versus a normal tap. For example - if a long press on a particular view element opens a popup menu - ViewActions.pressBack() may be an acceptable rollback action.
