IdlingRegistry

public final class IdlingRegistry
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.test.espresso.IdlingRegistry

Handles registering and unregistering of IdlingResources with Espresso from within your application code.

This registry along with IdlingResource interface are bundled together in a small light weight module so that it can be pulled in as a dependency of the App under test with close to no overhead.
