How do I use instrumentation testing framework to test flow between activities? The example goog gives is for one activity only.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have separated java code from Android code and have two projects. Android dependent on Java project. Now i want to get the memory trace of the Java project on Android. For that I have created Androd Junit Project implementing Android Instrumentation, and a dummy android project dependent on my actual java project.(as I only want to get memory trace of java project on android).Problem is when I execute Android Junit project, and give a reference of dummy project removing java project dependency, all tests(dummy) run fine.But when I run junit project, with dummy android proj keeping dependency on java project, my application crashes.I get an error message like : "Process crash" not getting any error message in logcat. No clue whats wrong with code.Any help is highly needed.

We can use it as follows:

How can we use it for webviews and listviews etc.
This is the code for motion events in my instrumentation testing.
long downTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
long eventTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
MotionEvent event = MotionEvent.obtain(downTime, eventTime,
MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN, 100,100, 0);
MotionEvent event2 = MotionEvent.obtain(downTime, eventTime,
MotionEvent.ACTION_UP, 100, 100, 0);...............................
I wrote a simplest test based on android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2.

I've been exploring the Android test package and I'm very confused on how to implement functional testing for endpoint-to-endpoint.
Consider the example below, I have 4 activities: 1. A Contact List Activity 2. A View Contact Activity 3. An Add/Edit Contact Activity 4. A Sync Contact List activity
I want to automate a few tests that will go through multiple test cases simulating a user experience: From launching the application, to selecting 'Add contact;' opening the add contact activity, entering data, saving it, going back to the list activity, and verifying the new contact was saved properly.
As I understand it, ActivityInstrumentationTestCase<T extends Activity> and ActivityUnitTestCase<T extends Activity>, are only useful for testing single activity functionality.
But what if I need to switch between 2 or more activities inside a single functional test case?
Would like to know the best place to get more details on this tag 'instrumentation' for the manifest file.
<instrumentation android:targetPackage='com.tejasoft.tezzd.mobile.android' android:name='android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner' android:label='TestTezzD' android:functionalTest='true' android:handleProfiling='true'/>
Unable to understand its working, specially, how does the InstrumentationTestRunner find all the test cases and what is the way to write the manifest so that it runs only perticular suite and not all the test cases.
Going through the ApiDemos sample code (in Android 2.1 platform), I saw that there are two activities that make use of the Instrumentation class: ContactsFilter and LocalSample. However, I'm having trouble finding the menu that will launch any one of these activities from the ApiDemos application. I just want to be able to run ApiDemos and hit the breakpoint in one of these Activities so I can understand how the Instrumentation class works. proper navigation in ApiDemos to launch ContactsFilter or LocalSample?

I am trying to write a simple test framework. This is what I want to do: My actual test is an apk file on android device, and I write a TestCase or some instrumentation for that which runs on host side. I trigger the test using adb commands or some IDE.I am able to refer to some examples which does above.Now what I want to know is any way of getting results back using any api available in TestCase or such class.This result can be any string value or an object too.
1. can I use TestResult for this purpose ? I expect it ot be similar to function calland return value from function.i.e. on completion of test I should get back the result in a structured way probably defined by me.Is this possible at all.
2. or return value is always going to be put to stdout? or logcat?
3.how do I parse and collect stdout or logcat prints into a file?
any input would be of great help.
Can you please tell me the process for running the tests on device? currently I am using the eclipse IDE to run the tests as Android Junit tests. And I would like to run the unit tests on device.

We are able to run instrumentation tests of Android from the command line on Windows by launching: adb shell am instrument -w <package.test>/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner. This gives us good results. Using the same architecture, we are unable to run the same in Kubuntu. We have the same setup in Kubuntu. Can someone let us know, if there are packages with same name.. Then what package will the adb shell point? How will the emulator connect with adb shell from cmd line? DO we need to do any changes to do so in Kubuntu?

When implementing an ActivityInstrumentationTestCase, how do you start the activity with a Bundle of saved state?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are currently working on an instrumentation test suite which runs on our build server, but while the tests pass on a dev machine using a normal Android emulator, the builds fail on the build server since there we only run a headless emulator with the -no-window flag.The failure occurs when trying to invoke the InstrumentationTestCase.sendKeys() method to programatically open the options menu.We also tried to let the instrumentation test app and the app under test share the same Linux user ID using android:sharedUserId and run in the same process (android:process -- we weren't sure if that was already the case), but still no luck. Does this mean it's currently impossible to run instrumentations which contain key events on a headless emulator, or are we missing something?

I am using ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 to do some test for an activity. I get a button in the setUp() method like this: protected void setUp() throws Exception {super.setUp(); act = getActivity(); btn = Button)act.find ViewById ( R.id.bike_button ); // this button has been defined in layout} Then I use this button to perform a click in a test method like this: public void testBikeButton(){ //click the bike button btn.performClick();}
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to do some automated testcase with Instrumentation . Suggest that my AUT has 2 Activity. After clicking the button in ther first Activity, the second one will be shown with new content base on what we enter in the first Activity.) Instrumentation provides us the function called startActivitySync() and return the Activity object for processing. My question is how we can get the pointer of the second Activity after the it is shown by clicking the button on the first activity.?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't know if this is kosher, but I wanted to see if anyone would want to test an app I built. I don't want to release an app to the market without getting out all the bugs I can, but I'm a lone developer trying to build apps on the side in my free time. I don't know many people with Droids, so I'm trying to reach out to the community. I built an app I call "Next Track on Shake". Not a good name, (and I'm up for suggestions for a better name) but I can't think of anything else to explain its function. I listen to alot of music, usually on shuffle, and I hate having to wake the phone up, unlock the screen, open the music player, and change the track. The new versions of Android require PIN or Password when you use a corporate account, and that adds another step in changing tracks. I built an app that allows you to shake the phone, whether awake or not, and it will move to the next track for you. I also added the ability to customize the shake; you can set how hard or how fast you need to shake the phone to change the track. The default shake is a good setting for most people, but alot of people jog with the phone on their arm or hip and would need to adjust the strength of the shake so as to not accidentally change tracks. I've also added the ability to stop/start the service when needed, and I display an ongoing notification when the service is running. When the phone is rebooted, the app checks the preferences, and only starts the app if you had the service running before reboot.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created an app which needs some testing done. I have tested it on the HTC Hero (UK version) and the HTC Tattoo. Worked well on both the devices. I wanted to test it on the newer android phones like the Droid or the Nexus One. If anyone could help me out with the testing, there is a link to the .apk file below. This app does functions like silencing the ringtone when the phone is flipped, switching on the speakerphone when in call etc.

I'm prepping my first app for publishing and am a bit confused about how to properly test my <uses-permission> tags.. if i don't specify any permissions my app runs with no complaints on my G1. I tried installing it via "adb install" as well as with the eoeAppInstaller (as somebody had recommended). Also, the app is signed with my own certificate (not the debug cert). given that it works fine with no permissions (btw, it accesses camera and sd card), how will I know if I've set all of the proper <uses- permission> tags?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have many phones, but we don't--and probably never will--have all of them.
It's frustrating that some phones cannot see our apps in the market, and we'd like to know which phones those are.
We'd like to have a simple way to have our app tested on each phone, but at this point there's no easy way to do that.
My question is: what would we as developers be willing to do to get these needs met? Is there enough demand for someone to buy all possible Android devices and charge a nominal fee for these services?
We would pay a small fee to have out app accessed and downloaded on all phones--this would give us a report of which phones could access our app. We would pay a fee to have a step-by-step test ran on each possible device so we could know it worked on that device, at least minimally.
I have some questions about the testing of bluetooth.
I have tried the bluetooth chat and it worked pretty well on my two Andriod 2.1 based mobile phones.
However, this test can only be done only by someone who has 2 android phones and the version must be 2.1.
I assume this is a big issue because i looked into the CTS related to Bluetooth topic and it doesnt explain much about it.
The regular expectation for testing Bluetooth should be:
# Scan for other Bluetooth devices # Query the local Bluetooth adapter for paired Bluetooth devices # Establish RFCOMM channels # Connect to other devices through service discovery # Transfer data to and from other devices
In my case:
I would like to implement the application to send the file(image file, mp3, whatever...) from my Android 2.1 mobile to any device with Bluetooth module.
