This class was deprecated in API level 3.
new tests should be written using ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 , which provides more options for configuring the Activity under test

Class Overview

This class provides functional testing of a single activity. The activity under test will be created using the system infrastructure (by calling InstrumentationTestCase.launchActivity()) and you will then be able to manipulate your Activity directly. Most of the work is handled automatically here by setUp() and tearDown() .

If you prefer an isolated unit test, see ActivityUnitTestCase .
