Android Espresso check selected spinner text

I have this code in my Espresso test

onView(withId(R.id.src))
    .perform(click());
onData(hasToString(startsWith("CCD")))
    .perform(click());
onView(withId(R.id.src))
    .check(matches(withText(containsString("CCD"))));

What I'm trying to do is to click the item in the Spinner and check if it's indeed selected in the Spinner.

But I'm getting this error:

android.support.test.espresso.base.DefaultFailureHandler$AssertionFailedWithCauseError: 'with text: a string containing "CCD"' doesn't match the selected view. Expected: with text: a string containing "CCD" Got: "AppCompatSpinner{id=2131558533, res-name=src, visibility=VISIBLE, width=528, height=163, has-focus=false, has-focusable=true, has-window-focus=true, is-clickable=true, is-enabled=true, is-focused=false, is-focusable=true, is-layout-requested=false, is-selected=false, root-is-layout-requested=false, has-input-connection=false, x=0.0, y=0.0, child-count=1}"

In test spresso documentation they show a solution to select a item inside the spinner from its index position I think is the right way... URL : github.com/vgrec/EspressoExamples/blob/master/app/src/… - Javier Gutiérrez-Maturana Sánc

Replace withText() with withSpinnerText()

onView(withId(spinnerId)).perform(click());
onData(allOf(is(instanceOf(String.class)), is(selectionText))).perform(click());
onView(withId(spinnerId)).check(matches(withSpinnerText(containsString(selectionText))));

Really simple solution that worked out for me .....without using matcher for CustomSpinner

onView(withId(R.id.custom_spinner)).perform(click());
onData(anything()).atPosition(1).perform(click());
onView(withId(R.id.custom_spinner)).check(matches(withSpinnerText(containsString("yourstring"))));

For custom adapter i had yo create a custom matcher:

 onView(withId(R.id.spinner)).perform(click());
 onData(allOf(is(instanceOf(YourCustomClass.class)), withMyValue("Open"))).perform(click());


public static <T> Matcher<T> withMyValue(final String name) {
    return new BaseMatcher<T>() {
        @Override
        public boolean matches(Object item) {
            return item.toString().equals(name);
        }

        @Override
        public void describeTo(Description description) {

        }
    };
}

Then you must override toString() method on your custom class.
