I tried doing the following:

onView(allOf(withId(R.id.single_row_text),  withText("Item1"))).perform(click());

But all I got is: 

android.support.test.espresso.NoMatchingViewException: No views in hierarchy found matching: (with id: net.test.android:id/single_row_text and with text: is "Item1")
If the target view is not part of the view hierarchy, you may need to use Espresso.onData to load it from one of the following AdapterViews:android.widget.ListView@410d6ab0

I also tried a lot of onData stuff but they are all fail:

onData(allOf(is(AnyTextView.class), withText("Item1"))).perform(click());
onData(Matchers.allOf(Matchers.is(Matchers.instanceOf(ListView.class)), Matchers.hasToString(Matchers.startsWith("Item1")))).perform(ViewActions.click());
onData(anything()).inAdapterView(withContentDescription("menu_item_icon")).atPosition(0).perform(click());
onData(hasToString(startsWith("Item1")))
                .inAdapterView(withId(R.id.browse_types_list))
                .perform(click());

Any suggestions for this? Thanks!

SOLUTIONS (Updated)

It turns out to be a timing issue. I run Thread.sleep(5000) before executing the test and it worked.

Try this.

onData(anything()).inAdapterView(withId(R.id.list_view)).atPosition(0).perform(click());
