Android Espresso: How to match text on custom spinner selected item layout?

Issue

I have spinner with custom layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal">
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/iv_icon"
        android:layout_width="60dp"
        android:layout_height="60dp" />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tv_text"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

And I need to check if value in R.id.tv_text of selected item match with specific text. Is it possible to do this without implement custom Matcher class ?

My simple test:

@SmallTest
public class CategoryTest {

    public static final String TEXT_TO_MATCH = "Spinner item text";

    @Test
    public void testCreate() {
        ...
        onView(withId(R.id.spn_tt)).perform(click()); // open spinner
        onView(allOf(withId(R.id.tv_text), withText(TEXT_TO_MATCH))).perform(click()); // find item by text and click
        onView(withId(R.id.spn_tt)).check(matches(withTextInSpinnerSelectedView(TEXT_TO_MATCH))); // check if right item selected by text
    }

}

Solution

I haven't found more simple way than create custom matcher that looks for specific text in any TextView (or their heirs) of Spinner selected item. There is a my custom matcher: https://gist.github.com/igorokr/5f3db37f0b9eb8b2feae
