title: Espresso Test Failed: AssertionFailedWithCause: Wanted to match 1 intents. Actually matched 0 intents
body: <p>I'm new to Android Instrumentation tests. I want to check if my register activity is working correctly with Espresso.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to run it with intended and intending too. Does not seem to work.</p>
  
  <p>Following is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.varun.project;
  
  import android.content.Context;
  import android.support.test.InstrumentationRegistry;
  import android.support.test.espresso.Espresso;
  import android.support.test.espresso.intent.rule.IntentsTestRule;

  import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

  import static android.support.test.espresso.action.ViewActions.closeSoftKeyboard;
  import static android.support.test.espresso.action.ViewActions.typeText;

  import static android.support.test.espresso.intent.matcher.IntentMatchers.hasComponent;
  import static android.support.test.espresso.matcher.ViewMatchers.withId;
  import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

   */
  @RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
  public class ExampleInstrumentedTest {
  
      @Rule
      public IntentsTestRule&lt;Register&gt; ResgisterTestRule =
              new IntentsTestRule&lt;&gt;(Register.class, true, true);
  
      @Test
      public void useAppContext() throws Exception {
          // Context of the app under test.
          Context appContext = InstrumentationRegistry.getTargetContext();
  
          assertEquals("com.varun.project", appContext.getPackageName());
      }
  
      @Test
      public void RegisterTest(){
          Espresso.onView(withId(R.id.RegEmail)).perform(typeText("varunjoshi995@gmail.com"),closeSoftKeyboard());
          Espresso.onView(withId(R.id.RegPassword)).perform(typeText("abc123"),closeSoftKeyboard());
  
          Espresso.onView(withId(R.id.ConfirmPassword)).perform(typeText("abc123"),closeSoftKeyboard());
  
          Espresso.onView(withId(R.id.register)).perform(click());
  
          intended(hasComponent(MainActivity.class.getName()));
      }
  }
