Hello all!

It's been a long while, but a new version of positron is out!
Positron is a story runner / acceptance testing tool for android in
the spirit of selenium or watir.  With it, you can
 * Manipulate your application by pressing keys, touching the screen
or trackball, using the menus, etc
 * Inspect application state simply and (thread) safely
 * Run arbitrary sql to set up database fixtures

If you remember the earlier versions of positron, there are some key
differences 1.0 brings to the table:
 * It works with the current release of Android
 * Tests can be launched in eclipse and use the eclipse junit UI
(happy green bar!)
 * Applications are automatically reinstalled before each run
 * You can svn co http://autoandroid.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/samples/notepad
and see a fully-functional sample right now. (You may need to set the
ANDROID_HOME environment variable.)

That last one involves a sub-project named android-ant, which is a
small antlib to
 * call the bundled sdk tools in a platform-independent way
 * easily start and stop an emulator for running tests

The projects have moved to a new site since there's more than one
now.  Please check out http://code.google.com/p/autoandroid/ for
more.  The wiki will hopefully be enough to get you started, but be
sure to download the javadocs jar and see PositronAPI for the complete
list of available call.

Lastly, please (pretty please!) send me bugs at
http://code.google.com/p/autoandroid/issues/list or say hello at
http://groups.google.com/group/autoandroid

Happy Testing!
