Public Methods

public void assertActivityRequiresPermission ( String packageName, String className, String permission)

Added in API level 4

Asserts that launching a given activity is protected by a particular permission by attempting to start the activity and validating that a SecurityException is thrown that mentions the permission in its error message. Note that an instrumentation isn't needed because all we are looking for is a security error and we don't need to wait for the activity to launch and get a handle to the activity.

Parameters
packageName The package name of the activity to launch.
className The class of the activity to launch.
permission The name of the permission.

public void assertReadingContentUriRequiresPermission ( Uri uri, String permission)

Added in API level 4

Asserts that reading from the content uri requires a particular permission by querying the uri and ensuring a SecurityException is thrown mentioning the particular permission.

Parameters
uri The uri that requires a permission to query.
permission The permission that should be required.

public void assertWritingContentUriRequiresPermission ( Uri uri, String permission)

Added in API level 4

Asserts that writing to the content uri requires a particular permission by inserting into the uri and ensuring a SecurityException is thrown mentioning the particular permission.

Parameters
uri The uri that requires a permission to query.
permission The permission that should be required.

Protected Methods

protected void scrubClass ( Class <?> testCaseClass)

Added in API level 1

This function is called by various TestCase implementations, at tearDown() time, in order to scrub out any class variables. This protects against memory leaks in the case where a test case creates a non-static inner class (thus referencing the test case) and gives it to someone else to hold onto.

Parameters
testCaseClass The class of the derived TestCase implementation.

protected void setUp ()

Added in API level 1

Sets up the fixture, for example, open a network connection. This method is called before a test is executed.

protected void tearDown ()

Added in API level 1

Tears down the fixture, for example, close a network connection. This method is called after a test is executed.
