Thanks - just establishing theres no framework way to get menus.
So I did as you suggested and there still some wierdness. I added a
getter for the menu but it always returns null:
public class MyAppActivityTest extends
ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2< MyAppActivity> {
@UiThreadTest
public void testMyAppAboutBox() {
MyAppActivity main = (MyAppActivity) getActivity();
Menu menu = main.getMenu();
}
Could it be the Activities onCreateOptionsMenu() hasn't been called?
Is there more I should be doing in my test to help establish the
Activities runtime context?
On a different thread (:-)), I tried this:
@UiThreadTest
public void testAbout() {
MainActivity main = (MainActivity) getActivity();
sendKeys(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU);
Menu menu = main.getMenu();
menu.performIdentifierAction(R.id.about, 0);
}
Hoping the key event would cause the menu to be inflated, but that
just causes:
java.lang.RuntimeException: This method can not be called from the
main application thread
at android.app.Instrumentation.validateNotAppThread
(Instrumentation.java:1500)
at android.app.Instrumentation.sendKeySync(Instrumentation.java:933)
...
Thanks
