Android Espresso: checking for a checked checkbox

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am new to Espresso at this point and I am getting this Exception:

android.support.test.espresso.AmbiguousViewMatcherException: 'with id: android:id/checkbox' matches multiple views in the hierarchy.

This happens when trying to check for a non checked box:onView(withId(android.R.id.checkbox)).check(matches(not(isChecked())));

My understanding is that I have 3 checkboxes and for some reason they all match this description, my question becomes: how can I differentiate between the checkboxes?

This is the error log that I am getting:

android.support.test.espresso.AmbiguousViewMatcherException: 'with id: android:id/checkbox' matches multiple views in the hierarchy.
Problem views are marked with '****MATCHES****' below.

View Hierarchy:
+>DecorView{id=-1, visibility=VISIBLE, width=1440, height=2560, has-focus=true, has-focusable=true, has-window-focus=true, is-clickable=false, is-enabled=true, is-focused=false, is-focusable=false, is-layout-requested=false, is-selected=false, root-is-layout-requested=false, has-input-connection=false, x=0.0, y=0.0, child-count=3}
