WaitForView using resource id doesn't return until timeout is reached, even when a match is found #739

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Create a test with waitForView(int id, int minimumNumberOfMatches, int timeout)

  1. Set minimumNumberOfMatches to 0 (any number of matches)
  2. Notice that even when it finds a match, Robotium waits the whole timeout before returning What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect that if it's looking for any matched, it would return immediately after finding one. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Robotium 5.3.1 Android API Level 21 Please provide any additional information below.

According to our tests its working fine. Probably you are waiting for a View that doesn't show up. If you log the result returned by waitForView you will see it is false (if timeout is reached).

This is happening when waitForView returns true. I will get some example code and log together today to demonstrate. To get around this I wrote a loop that progressively increases timeouts, but I'd rather it just work.

Just did a simple example and it's not happening!

The scenario I was seeing this happening was when the tests target activity was replaced with a new one (code checks if you're logged in and if not redirects you to a login activity). Thinking about that, it makes some sense that it would be confused and I think this is probably outside the normal use case. Would take some time for me to provide an example of this without just exporting my whole android project. I feel a lot better about this now and feel comfortable with the resolution. Thanks!
