openDrawer from espresso contrib is deprecated

Question

Espresso contrib (com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-contrib:2.2.1) openDrawer method is deprecated

then how should I open a drawer?

Answer 1

Here's an example on how to use the new open and close methods:

onView(withId(R.id.drawer_layout)).perform(DrawerActions.open());

onView(withId(R.id.drawer_layout)).perform(DrawerActions.close());

Answer 2

The documentation for openDrawer suggests using the open method with the correct resource id and perform ViewAction.

Use open() with perform after matching a view. This method will be removed in the next release.
