I have progressed this far...... Using "android.test.InstrumentationTestCase" in a unit test and running from a shell could help simulate key press action. Observe:public void sendKeys(int... keys) Sends a series of key events through instrumentation and waits for idle. For instance: sendKeys(KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT, KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER).
This is all available on http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/test/InstrumentationTestCase.html My problem now: I do not know how to do unit testing in the Android env. Any clues?
