Hi, Missed your response. This didn't work for me unfortunately.
Interestingly if I mark the test with @UiThreadTest I get the same deadlock behavior, which makes me wonder whether there is some sort of JUnit test state being re-used when the test is run in a suite? As it stands I have a bunch of important test cases that I'm having to just comment out because they hang when run in the suite (although they all run and pass when executed individually). I feel like I've tried everything to get these to work, but clearly I'm missing something here. Any other ideas? Thanks, Jason.
