This is a test to show how to use expresso to check if a toast was displayed.

import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.not;

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
@LargeTest
public class ApplicationTest {

    @Rule
    public ActivityTestRule<MainActivity> mActivityRule = new ActivityTestRule(MainActivity.class);

    @Test
    public void shouldShowToast() {
        onView(withText("Click on this button")).perform(click());
        onView(withText(R.string.toast)).inRoot(withDecorView(not(is(mActivityRule.getActivity().getWindow().getDecorView())))).check(matches(isDisplayed()));
    }


}

FYI: inRoot() will be found in the the implementation of Espresso's ViewInteraction class.

Thanks for the share @brunodles!

Hey, wish to ask if my toast is previewed from a method like my_toast.show(), how do I verify it using testing? My toast don't show after a button is clicked, but more like when the my_toast.show() is called inside my app.

Does not work in Android 30
