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());

I have the following problem, after using these lines to open the drawer, the next operation, which performs a click on the item inside the drawer, fails because the drawer closes instantly. What could cause a close drawer when there is no other operation after that? – X-HuMan Nov 24 '16 at 16:21

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.

You can try this out! This will get the menu from toolbar, and press a click on him

onView(allOf(withContentDescription("Menu"),
             withParent(withId(R.id.toolbar)),
             isDisplayed())).perform(click());
