I am trying to create some Espresso UI tests using Android Studio's inbuilt Espresso Test Recorder. The issue is: when I type it is very slow to appear on the screen.

Anything text entry/keyboard-based takes a while for a single letter to appear. I have tested this on a super simple one view app vs a larger app, with the larger app having an increased delay. I have also tested it on Genymotion vs Android Studio emulators, with the same delay.

Here is a gif of the delay on the single-page app:

Any idea how to fix this issue?

Switching to a lower API might help since it worked for me, and it improved the speed performance of the Espresso test recording.

  • downgraded from 29 to 28...typing is still slow...but Assertions mouse-over is a lot faster...what api version do you use? @Inventrohyder – Tim Boland May 05 '21 at 16:50
