I was finally able to build and debug the android platform (the process can be seen here). Now, the question is: where are the unit tests, how do I launch them and where do I see results? And also, is there any guide to android platform architecture?

There is no way to load a string from a specific locale's language file.
What I want to do is run all my locales' (I have 24 of them) time format strings through unit tests to make sure they don't crash. For example, here's a date format string in French: "'Hier à ' h:mm a".
These really need to be unit tested, because translators aren't great about properly escaping these strings, causing crashes unless we manually verify every string in every language every time we get a translation pass back.
This question has a sort-of answer. Is that really the only way? Is there a better way to specify the locale of a Context in unit tests?
I my main app and tests are organized like this (standard from "android create project"): AndroidManifest.xml assets/ main app asset files src/tests/AndroidManifest.xml -- uses <instrumentation> to point to the main app assets/ -- test-specific asset files src/ Writing test cases with AndroidTestCase, I'd like to load asset files from the test-specific assets/ directory, not from the main app assets/ directory. How can I accomplish that? The normal way to load an asset would be getContext().getAssets().open ("foo.txt"), for assets/foo.txt in the main app. I assume I just have to somehow change the Context or the AssetManager to point to the test- specific assets directory, but I don't see any way to do that. I have looked into the tests/bin/MyApp-debug.apk to confirm that the test assets are in there. Now I just need a way to access them.

I'm trying to start unit testing on my application (should have done so from the beginning). I've got an Eclipse project structure set up and everything seems to work well, but...
I'm subclassing SQLiteOpenHelper to access the application database. This works well for the application, but when using the same class in the unit tests, it writes to the same database as the actual application. This is obviously rather irritating, since unit test data shows up when developing and testing the actual application.
What's the best way to make the SQLiteOpenHelper class write to a different database file when being called from the unit tests?
I have a very simple activity created with one seek bar. I'm trying to figure out how best to unit test the events.
Below is how I have the seek bar wired up in my activity.

I do see the test correctly open the OptionScreen during the run.

I'm trying to run unit tests on my Android app and I'm getting a NoClassDefFoundError when referencing 3rd party jars.
The classes in those jars are only referenced by the app itself, not the unit tests. The jars are on the apps classpath and have been exported in the eclipse settings to allow tyhem to be found by dependant apps - which, of course, the test app is.
I need to run unit tests for code that references SQLiteDatabase for my Android code; however all my attempts to instantiate this object outside the emulator (on my desktop machine) have failed. JDBC on Android is not being recommended on the Net, hence it's out of the question (I could have provided mock objects very easily that way).
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat is the easiest way to create some kind of test harness for Android apps and to be able to visualize (even on the emulator) what is going into the db? I want to test things like constraints, look at the data, unit test methods, etc. Is there any kind of GUI tool that I can hook up to the emulator to be able to look at the db of a particular app while I'm developing/testing, or are my only options the adb shell and creating test Activities within my app?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to test parsing of data returned from server.I thought I might create several test XML files and then feed them to the sax parser which uses my custom data handler (as in the application that I test).But where should I put those test XMLs?I tried with [project_root] /res/xml, but then I get the error: android.content.res.Resources $NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f040000 type #0x1c is not valid at android.content. res. Resources. loadXml ResourceParser(Resources.java:1870)at android.content.res. Resources. getXml(Resources. java:779) Does that mean that the xml is invalid, or that android couldn't find the XML file?(I use the same XML that comes from the server - copied it from the firebug's net panel and pasted into the file).Can I somehow read that XML as a text file, since etContext(). getResources() .getXml (R.xml.test_response1) returns XmlResourceParser instead of String (which I'd prefer)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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?
I always thought the default display unit would be pixels.But when I run my application on WVGA800 in the emulator the lines are five pixels wide even though I called Paint.setStrokeWidth(3). The same seems to happen with Drawable.setBounds(); the value I provide gets multiplied by 1.5 internally. If that's the case, how can I specify pixels instead of dips if I want pixels?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got unit tests which are subclasses of AndroidTestCase, I thought they were just taking awhile to run, but for some reason when I run them via Eclipse, they actually run twice. I can verify this in LogCat after the Console outputs "Launching instrumentation android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner on device..." the first run starts, which is only visible via LogCat. Then the JUnit pane comes to life and starts tracking the second run.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded Unit Converter, and noticed that the market said it needed no permissions, while the manage apps list on the phone said it needed to modify the sd card and read phone state. Not that this was a huge deal, but why would they be different?
Anyways, how does everyone like that unit converter? It seems like it has everything!!
In my XML I can set textSize="18sp". Is it possible to change the scale of the sp unit which would affect all sp sizes but not affect dp sizes?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm getting VerifyErrors when running unit tests. My tests are setup as a separate eclipse project which references the project I am testing. I have a class in my project which I use fairly heavily in my test project and this class is getting rejected by Dalvik.I also have a third party jar on the build path of both the project under test and the test project. This causes no problems when running the project under test so I can't see why it should when running the test project, basically I'm stumped. I have posted the error text below, MyProjectClass is a class in the project under test which is used fairly heavily in the test project.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSorry if this is a bit of a vague question, however im struggling to find a single solid example on how to do unit testing (isolated testing) with Android. So one project contains models and logic, then another project contains tests for said library. There is no front end or UI, so I want to do the bare minimum to just be able to test that my methods all work in isolation.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am writing my first Android database backend and I'm struggling to unit test the creation of my database. Currently the problem I am encountering is obtaining a valid Context object to pass to my implementation of SQLiteOpenHelper.Is there a way to get a Context object in a class extending TestCase? The solution I have thought of is to instantiate an Activity in the setup method of my TestCase and then assigning the Context of that Activity to a field variable which my test methods can access...but it seems like there should be an easier way.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just switched the way my Android project is being built and non of my unit tests work any more...I get errors like WARN/dalvikvm(575): VFY: unable to resolve static field X in WARN/dalvikvm(575): VFY: unable to find class referenced in signature These errors only come from my Unit Tests, where classes defined in it can't even see other classes defined in the unit test. Before each project had it's own directory with copies of the 3rd party jar files. I've read around that Dex does weird things with references but haven't been able to figure out how to fix this problem. Is there a better way to do this? I would love to see an example of a large Android workspace where there are multiple projects, jar references, etc.Is it possible to fix this with an Order/Export tweak ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to unit test a class that does SAX parsing and creates an object.This class takes a string as a parameter representing the URL of a document on the internet, parses it and then creates an object based on the contents.I don't want to have the unit tests actually access the network, so I'd like to have a few test xml files to parse. However I can't figure out how to access them from my AndroidTestCases. I don't want to include the test files with the actual application, I want them in the test project (it's a separate project, as is the norm for Android tests from what I could gather - due to the need to have a custom AndroidManifest.xml, for one).One way would be to put the XML files in the test project's assets directory, I can read them using getContext() .getAssets().open(filename) into an InputStream in the test case, but my class expects a URL string. I'd rather not have to provide an InputStream to this class instead of the current URL string. I can test just the parsing by making two methods, one that takes a string and one an Inputstream, and test the second, but how can I then test the one that just takes a string?How should I design my class and or tests to circumvent this problem?
View 1 Replies View RelatedBeing able to write Android apps in regular Java is a huge win. However, I am confused about unit testing Android apps. Many of the 'best practices' seem to boil down to 'split your business logic off, and test it separately using JUnit'. This is great as far as it goes. And I understand that truly testing the UI will require firing up the emulator. But it seems there is a category of UI tests that I should be able to run without the emulator. The various Mockxxx classes seem to be going a long way towards this. But why (oh why oh why!) do they all. throw new RuntimeException( "Stub!" ); in their constructors? I can understand them doing this in their METHODS (then I could subclass them as needed) but why their constructors? I cannot stop this functionality so I cannot do (limited but useful) UI tests such as public TextView createTextView ( Context context ) {return new TextView( context );
