Getting a "Application Not Responding: System UI" error on Boot Start and when I run `./gradlew connectedAndroidTest` in headless mode

[fps1961]

I'm on an amd64 arch with accel off and while the boot start gets going (though I still have to run start_emu_headless.sh twice for the device to boot correctly even if I increase timeout to say 15 minutes), it mostly starts off with an error of System UI not responding when I run the command to see the window focus. I then apply the adb command to hit the home button to clear the pop-up, but then when I try to run ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest, it again shows the error. I have tried to run with more memory (3GB and 4GB), but the error persists. Any ideas why? No change to the docker image btw, just running the device in headlessmode.

I forgot to add it, but as a test, I have been trying to run the gradle command on this simple repo. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks for getting back to me @amrsa1! Actually, I did try that and the issue still persists.

Basically this is what happens:

1. boot start -> usually successful
2. System UI -> Not Responding
3. apply the fix you linked (repeatedly pressing home)
4. try to run ./gradlew connectedAndroidTest
5. Espresso tests fail cause Syste, UI -> Not Responding showed up again

I'm trying to make this for a CI pipeline, so can't use headed mode unfortunately :(
