Can you clarify? You want to simulate a long press in an edit box, followed by a selection of the "paste" menu item?
If so, get hold of the Android 2.2 SDK documentation. In it, under the Resources tab, there's a tutorial on unit testing an Activity: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/testing/activity_test.html This uses the test case class ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2, which inherits from InstrumentationTestCase. Part of the tutorial shows how to get focus on a UI widget. In your case, you'd get focus on the edit box. >From there, you need to bring up the context menu. I think you could use TouchUtils.longClickView() to do that. That puts focus on the menu, I think. From there, send DPAD_DOWN key events to move the highlight to the "paste" option, then DPAD_ENTER to select it. Keep in mind that I've never tried to do this on a menu. I just provide this as a guideline for trying to solve the problem. Also keep in mind that Android JUnit testing is really focused on *unit* testing. If you're really trying to test functionality, there are better options. IMHO, the difference is that unit testing goes method-by-method, with the assumption that all methods and classes are independent. You inject all external dependencies, either with mocks or actual objects. Functional testing goes from the beginning of a user task to the end. For example, a functional test of a calculator app would enter a 2, enter a +, enter another 2, enter an =, and check to see that 4 is displayed.
