Swipe until element visible in Android Espresso

Question

I have a long vertical screen with data entry form. I need swipeUp (scroll down) this screen until one of form's field is displayed on screen. I try use swipeUp() and scrollTo() ViewActions on the elements located higher on the screen, but it didn't help me, that these elements hiding from screen after swiping.

Answer 1

The idiomatic approach today would be to use RepeatActionUntilViewState. For example, the following would swipe up on an element with ID largeElementId up to 10 times until a view with text "Target text" is visible to the user:

onView(withId(R.id.largeElementId)).perform(repeatedlyUntil(swipeUp(), 
        hasDescendant(withText("Target text")), 
        10));
