Hi Elk, Yes, I wanted to do a paste into a field just as a user would: long press for context menu, then select Paste. Particularly, I had identified a problem with pasting a value into a field rather than entering with individual key presses (my bad, not an Android problem). This isn't a functional test really, rather a component test focused on the UI for a single field--I have detailed JUnit tests for the app's data model. I find the Android JUnit framework to be quite handy for testing this. But if you have a favorite tool for functional testing, I'd like to know about it.
Your suggestion was spot on. Thank you! The code for the working test follows. --Z /* Verify proper formatting of values in the bill total field * when data is pasted into the field. */ public void testBillTotalPaste() { mActivity.runOnUiThread( new Runnable() { public void run() { billTotalEntryView.requestFocus(); } } ); mInstrumentation.waitForIdleSync(); mActivity.runOnUiThread( new Runnable() { public void run() { ClipboardManager clipboardManager = (ClipboardManager) mActivity.getSystemService (android.content.Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); clipboardManager.setText("120.56"); } } ); mInstrumentation.waitForIdleSync(); TouchUtils.longClickView(this, billTotalEntryView); mInstrumentation.waitForIdleSync(); int[] keyCodes = { KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER }; for (int keyCode : keyCodes) { this.sendKeys(keyCode); } mInstrumentation.waitForIdleSync(); assertEquals("Incorrect pasted value", "120.56", billTotalEntryView.getText().toString()); } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
