Snapshots in UI Unit Testing
About the snapshots returned by a failing UI Unit Test.
A failing UIUnitTest can return a text representation of the user interface, a "UI snapshot". The snapshot represents the state of the UI at the moment the test failed.

UI snapshots aren’t enabled by default. You need to enable them individually for each test.
Override the printTree() method to return true.
class HelloWorldViewTest extends UIUnit4Test {
@Override
public boolean printTree() {
return true;
}
