I'm trying to conduct Black Box testing on a 3rd party apk file using Android Espresso. I don't have access to the source code of the 3rd party apk file.
So, I'm able to get the UI element ids using UIAutomatorViewer
. However, in the Espresso file, I don't have access to "R".
So when I'm calling onView(withId(R.id.<ui id>))
, it's returning an error:
package R does not exist
Example:
onView(withId(R.id.fragment_onboarding_skip_button)).perform(click());

It can be solved by creating a method extracting an integer ID from the ID name:
...
public int getId(String id) {
Context appContext = InstrumentationRegistry.getTargetContext();
return appContext.getResources().getIdentifier(id, "id", "<applicationId>");
}
@Test
public void testSomething() {
//here just pass the ID name
onView(withId(getId("fragment_onboarding_skip_button"))).perform(click());
}
...
