TestRunner: java.lang.AssertionError: Activity never becomes requested state "[CREATED, DESTROYED, RESUMED, STARTED]" (last lifecycle transition = "PRE_ON_CREATE")

[Chaner2015]

When I run the test on a device, I get:

Started running tests

W/Settings: Setting always_finish_activities has moved from android.provider.Settings.System to android.provider.Settings.Global, returning read-only value.
E/TestRunner: failed: testxxx(com.example.demo.xxxTest)

Can you run unit tests? If so, it might be related to this.

Check the logs for any exceptions that might be covered up by test framework

Do you have debugImplementation 'androidx.test:core-ktx:1.4.0'?
