PerformException: Error performing 'single click' on view about android-test-kit

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Not an espresso bug.

Common cases that cause this:
- ANR/crash dialogs from other apps (can be handled on a device setup level. 
This is quite involved and is outside the scope of UI test execution)
- soft keyboard is showing (can be handled by adding closeSoftKeyboard action) 

You can confirm by observing the test during execution or taking a screenshot 
on failure.

I disagree. Would appreciate it you could look more closely at the bug 
description I provided or if you could try out the sample application attached.

For instance, 
1. closeSoftKeyboard() is being called
2. There are no other dialogs showing
3. Animations are disabled

The attached GIF shows what's happening.

I've had to work around this in my code by adding a sleep after the 
closeSoftKeyboard which seems to defeat the purpose of Espresso.

The same issue (with the same scenario) is reproducible for me as well? Why the 
bug is market as invalid?

Having same issue. The soft keyboard is dismissed but the perform click still 
fails.

I'm getting this issue as well, along with ensuring I'm using the 
closeSoftKeyboard() method.

And indeed, a wait before the click() fixes it for me, but negates the reason 
I'm using Espresso unfortunately.

Even more strange is the fact that a Thread.sleep(1) works.

I can reproduce it as well... just could hack it like said with 
Thread.sleep(1000ms) !

The same for me. But somehow it worked before. Now I always have this issue. 
Maybe it is related to SDK update?

Facing the same issue. Is there a patch or fix for it?

I didn't have to close the soft keyboard a few months ago when I initially 
wrote tests using Espresso. Also, using closeSoftKeyboard does not always work 
so the test is now flaky. Does anyone know what introduced this issue in the 
first place? This is definitely not an invalid issue.

I've worked around this issue by writing my own tiny keyboard that is 32dp 
tall. It seems to work much better than having the stock keyboard.

Have the same problem with espresso-contrib-1.1. In login test scenario after 
typeText() and call closeSoftKeyboard() without thread.sleep() it cause 
"PerformException: Error performing 'single click' on view". With 
thread.sleep() it works. Test on real device (lenovo A7600)

I have that issue too on my Panasonic FZ-A1.

Heres how i solved it:
onView(withId(R.id.testEdit)).perform(typeText("Have a cup of Espresso."), 
closeSoftKeyboard());
Thread.sleep(1000);

dunno why it works with a sleep, but it works....

I can repro it as well. Please fix if you want people to use espresso.
