A Java library and Gradle plugin from Facebook that generates fast, deterministic screenshots of Android views during instrumentation tests by mimicking measure/layout/draw on the test thread. It supports recording and verifying screenshots in CI to catch visual regressions, plus utilities for iterating on views without building the full app.
Use cases
- catch visual regressions in android app ui in ci
- generate deterministic screenshots during instrumentation tests
- verify layout changes across multiple configurations quickly
- preview how a view renders without building the whole app
- compare screenshots against recorded baselines in continuous integration
When to choose
- you need pixel-perfect deterministic android screenshot tests without threading or animation flakiness
- you want to catch padding, margin, or color regressions in ci
- you want to iterate on a single view or layout in a real android environment
When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the repository is archived and no longer maintained
- your host tooling runs on windows, which is not supported out of the box
- you rely on python 2.7, which the gradle plugin requires
