In this case, I am testing the activities of my app with ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2. (I also have tests for the ContentProvider using ProviderTestCase2.) The two tests that I outlined earlier are for the data entry activity. I want to verify that the data entered is inserted into the underlying database. The Activity inserts the data via `getContentResolver.insert()`. The test case then opens the database directly to assert that the data is there. How would I use a MockContentProvider and/or other mock objects to perform this kind of testing?
