Hi Gustav:
I'd recommend creating a second Android app project that contains your
tests, and add the original app project to the test project's build path.
As an example, lets say your existing app is called "Foo". Do the following
steps:
1. Create a new Android Project called "FooTest".
- Uncheck the "Create Activity" checkbox as it won't be needed
- Make sure you choose a unique package name for "FooTest", that is
different than "Foo"'s package
2. Add the "Foo" project to the "FooTest" project's build path. This can be
done via the following steps:
a. Select the "FooTest" project from the Eclipse Package Explorer
b. Select *File > Properties*
c. Select *Java Build Path*
d. Select *Projects*
* *e. Select *Add*
f. Select "Foo" project
Now move your tests into "FooTest". You should be able to run the tests that
do not reference any Android classes as a "JUnit test". Make sure you select
the "Android JUnit Test Launcher" when prompted.
If you decide later on you want to add tests that do refer to Android
specific classes, Steve's suggestion is a good one - take a look at ApiDemos
and the ApiDemos tests. You'll want to ensure the following items are added
to the test's AndroidManifest.xml:
*<application>* **
* <uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" />*
*</application>*
*
<instrumentation
android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"
android:targetPackage="com.foo" <!-- this should be set to package
name of "Foo" project -->
android:label="Tests for Foo"/>
*
You can run tests on an Android target by running the tests as a "Android
JUnit Test". But note JUnit4 tests are currently not supported on the
Android platform.
I hope that helps. Please let me know if you need any clarification.
Regards,
Brett.
