After use "intended()" to assert the intent that attempt to launch other external activity, unable to continue next test about android-test

[JoseAlcerreca]

Are you stubbing the Intent?

(pressBack() is not a good idea, do not go that way!)

And please don't use this issue tracker, it's just for issues related to the site.

Yes, Am facing the same.

I've worked around this issue by using UiDevice.pressBack() to exit whatever activity or chooser has been presented. Note that you have to use UiDevice and not Espresso's pressBack method in order to interact with a component that is not part of your app's process.
