I checked my setUp() method and I do call super.setUp() as the first
line. The reason I believe the contexts are the same are two-fold:
I tried both:
getSystemContext().getAssets().list(".")
getContext().getAssets().open(".");
and neither of them listed any files. The second reason is that I
read the code for ServiceTestCase and saw that the getSystemContext()
is just the
same context retrieved by getContext(), but it's grabbed before any
tests have a chance to mess with it(according to the comment in the
code):
@Override
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
// get the real context, before the individual tests have a
chance to muck with it
mSystemContext = getContext();
}
So it would seem that getting the context to the app the testcase is
in is not possible with the ServiceTestCase, unless I am missing
something.
