Android Testing in Android UI Testing with Espresso Introducing Espresso

Using espresso to test internal HTTP request methods

Hi, I choose espresso to start testing async request . One of the problems I found is how do I wait for a response and then start another test. I just wanted to test internal function because UI could be changed but internal functions(API) will remain same. So is there any way so that I start the first test and then wait until I get a response and then start another one. for example 

@Test()
public void test_createUser( ) {
new HttpRequest.createUser(new HttpCallback() {
@override
onSuccess() {
//Should wait here
}
})

@Test()
pubic void test_sendMessage() {
//this method should only run after test_createUser got response
}
}

Hey Lalit! One thing you could do would be to just call your send message test from within the onSuccess method. Though really the create user test should only test whether or not a user was created successfully. If you need a user for the send message test to run correctly, you should probably create a mock user.

yes. I was thinking that too to mock the user. Thanks for clearing this out
