Public methods

build

public InteractionRequest build()

Builds an InteractionRequest object.

Returns
`InteractionRequest`	an `InteractionRequest` object.

Throws
`java.lang.IllegalStateException java.lang.IllegalStateException`	when conflicting properties are set. You can either set a < and a `ViewAction` or set the proto byte array but not both. Setting all values would result in an override, therefore setting both properties will result in an exception.
`androidx.test.espresso.remote.RemoteProtocolException androidx.test.espresso.remote.RemoteProtocolException`	when the provided proto byte array cannot be parsed into a protocol buffer of type InteractionRequestProto

setRequestProto

public InteractionRequest.Builder setRequestProto(byte[] protoByteArray)

Set the result proto as a byte array. This byte array will be parsed into an . Providing an invalid byte array will result in a RemoteProtocolException when the build method is called!

Parameters
`byte[] protoByteArray`	the proto byte array to set

Returns
`InteractionRequest.Builder`	fluent interface `Builder`

setRootMatcher

public InteractionRequest.Builder setRootMatcher(Matcher<Root> rootMatcher)

Sets the root matcher for this InteractionRequest

Parameters
`Matcher<Root> rootMatcher`	the root matcher to set

Returns
`InteractionRequest.Builder`	fluent interface

`Root`

setViewAction

public InteractionRequest.Builder setViewAction(ViewAction viewAction)

Sets the ViewAction for this InteractionRequest

Parameters
`ViewAction viewAction`	the view action to set

Returns
`InteractionRequest.Builder`	fluent interface

setViewAssertion

public InteractionRequest.Builder setViewAssertion(ViewAssertion viewAssertion)

Sets the ViewAssertion for this InteractionRequest

Parameters
`ViewAssertion viewAssertion`	the view action to set

Returns
`InteractionRequest.Builder`	fluent interface

Throws
`java.lang.IllegalStateException java.lang.IllegalStateException`	if a `ViewAction` was already set through `setViewAction` before. `InteractionRequest` supports only one of `ViewAction` or `ViewAssertion`, but not both.

setViewMatcher

public InteractionRequest.Builder setViewMatcher(Matcher<View> viewMatcher)

Sets the view matcher for this InteractionRequest

Parameters
`Matcher<View> viewMatcher`	the view matcher to set

Returns
`InteractionRequest.Builder`	fluent interface
