Espresso intent test failing

by

I had the same problem and solved it by using IntentsTestRule instead of ActivityTestRule. IntentsTestRule is a subclass of ActivityTestRule. Set up your @Rule which creates the activity like so:

@Rule
public IntentsTestRule<MyActivity> mActivity = new IntentsTestRule<MyActivity>(MyActivity.class) {
    @Override
    protected Intent getActivityIntent() {
        ...
    }
};
