I'm starting to play with Espresso, got my basic tests running. Now trying to figure out how to check that my edit text has a specific hint text? Thanks.

onView(withId(R.id.locationInput)).check(matches...?)

Since Espresso 2.0 just use internal ViewMatcher withHint:

onView(withId(R.id.locationInput)).check(matches(withHint("your_hint")))
