New Features

• Support specifying junit RunListeners via java.util.ServiceLoader

• Support using UIThreadTest at the class level
• Several utility methods added to ext.truth's LocationSubject
• Add SparseBooleanArraySubject Truth Subject for making assertions about SparseBooleanArray.

Bug Fixes

• Improve handling for large stack traces on test failures [#729, #269]
  • Remove test runner framework related stack frames
  • Truncate stack traces to a max limit of 64KB, to avoid binder limit transaction errors
• Add support for classpath scanning test discovery for multidex instrumentation apks on android APIs < 21.
• Espresso: Improve error messaging when no activity is present
• Improve Instrumentation#runOnMainSync exception error handling
• Improve documentation for -e timeout_msec and AndroidJUnit4.

• Fix espresso web on < Android API 19 by including the androidx.test.espresso.web.bridge classes
• Unregister ActivityResultWaiter in InstrumentationActivityInvoker if it wasn't already unregistered
• Runner: Reduce TestEventClient 'not primary instr' log message to a warning, as its an expected condition in multi process tests
• Espresso: Update HasSiblingMatcher to only check siblings (not self).
• Fix artifact name for espresso.idling.resource [#809]
• Expose setMasterPolicyTimeoutWhenDebuggerAttached functionality [#814]
• Remove overly verbose ActivityLifecycleMonitorImpl callback logging.

Dependency Changes

• Update espresso.accessibility and espresso.contrib to depend on the androidx-compatible com.google.android.apps.common.testing.accessibility.framework:accessibility-test-framework:3.1. This release will thus require java8 source/target compatiblity.
  [#492]

Known Issues

• Using orchestrator on APIS 30+ requires Studio/AGP 4.2+
