How do I narrow down the condition of an explicit wait to a given SearchContext?

Question

I would like to wait until a specific view disappears. In general, I can do it with the following code:

val wait = WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(3)) // where driver is e.g. WebDriver
val condition = ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(
    By.id("my.app:id/someId") // or another locator, e.g. XPath
)
wait.until(condition)

However, that way is not very precise.

Imagine a scenario with two different views matching the same predicate (locator). In the example below I used the "by ID" locator but it could be anything else, too.

In the image below, there are 3 views:

• view "A" that matches my predicate ("by ID")
• view "B" that contains view "C"
• view "C" that matches my predicate ("by ID")

When I want to just find view "C", e.g. in order to click it, I can do this:

driver.findElement(By.id("anotherId")).findElement("someId").click()

so I can narrow down the search for view "C" by searching for view "B" first, when I know it contains view "C".

That is possible because WebElement returned by findElement method implements SearchContext interface, just like WebDriver does. Therefore, I can choose whether I want to search on the whole screen or inside a specific WebElement.

How can I narrow down the search in case of waiting for the view to disappear?

Ideally, I would expect something like:

ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(
    searchContext, // either a driver or WebElement
    By.id(...) // the locator
)

but I haven't found anything like that.
