I’m currently running into this as well. Our app is all using AppCompat based themes. At least in our case we think it’s coming from the Spotify SDK. The Spotify login activities use @android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar, which is not a derivative of Theme.AppCompat.

We seem a bit stuck on our end as far as using the Espresso driver.
