WebView support about android-test-kit HOT 16 OPEN

Agreed. We are planning to add it. If you have specific requirement (i.e. what 
you want and do not want to do with a WebView), let us know.

For Woven, I'd like to be able to log into various 3rd party photo services 
such as Picasa and Facebook.

The typical flow is:
- Page loads
- Find the first textfield and enter the username
- Find the second textfield and enter the password
- Find the submit button and press it
- OAuth page loads
- Find the authorize button and press it

Thanks. Keep the feedback coming.

What are your thoughts about the WebDriver API? Would you like the ability to 
get a driver object and use the full WebDriver API or would you prefer if 
Espresso provided native support for WebView operations?

One tricky thing with WebViews - it's harder to synchronize the actions. 
WebDriver "solves" this problem by wait/retry mechanisms, but this is far from 
ideal.

I really like the WebDriver API and am using that abstraction for native 
testing. Testing Woven on iOS & Android using Appium & WebDriver was featured 
at GTAC 2013.

The iOS webview login code for Picasa looks like this:

There are a lot of waits due to WebDriver. For Android I'm using uiautomator 
and that has no webview support at all. Anything Espresso provides in this area 
will be greatly appreciated. In the ideal world, Espresso would have the full 
WebDriver API.

I'd also love to see a WebDriver implementation of webview support.

A WebDriver implementation with webview support is considered a must-have for 
us.

Agreed. Since our app uses, most unfortunately, an oAuth2 WebView for login, 
and some other areas, support for WebView is an absolute must. Thanks chaps.

Could you share any info regarding when the new version of espresso (with web 
view support) is coming? Thanks. 

when udate new version？
when provide webView test？

I do want the webview supported apis, such as load a url and get current url, 
press the element(if  can specify linked element is better) on webview...
what is the release time of the webview support version?

any update on this?

The app I am working with uses a webview for log in .. has support been added 
for this? 

Also need support for testing WebViews for log-ins.

@Espresso Team
What about this issue ? Are you working on it ? 

The feature is still being worked on. Some details were provided in this 
podcast.
