Public Constructors

public InstrumentationTestCase ()

Added in API level 1

Public Methods

public Instrumentation getInstrumentation ()

Added in API level 1

Inheritors can access the instrumentation using this.

Returns

instrumentation

public void injectInsrumentation ( Instrumentation instrumentation)

Added in API level 1

This method was deprecated in API level 5.
Incorrect spelling, use injectInstrumentation(android.app.Instrumentation) instead.

Injects instrumentation into this test case. This method is called by the test runner during test setup.

Parameters

instrumentation	the instrumentation to use with this instance

public void injectInstrumentation ( Instrumentation instrumentation)

Added in API level 5

Injects instrumentation into this test case. This method is called by the test runner during test setup.

Parameters

instrumentation	the instrumentation to use with this instance

, android.os.Bundle)">

public final T launchActivity ( String pkg, Class <T> activityCls, Bundle extras)

Added in API level 1

Utility method for launching an activity.

The Intent used to launch the Activity is: action = ACTION_MAIN extras = null, unless a custom bundle is provided here All other fields are null or empty.

NOTE: The parameter pkg must refer to the package identifier of the package hosting the activity to be launched, which is specified in the AndroidManifest.xml file. This is not necessarily the same as the java package name.

Parameters

pkg	The package hosting the activity to be launched.
activityCls	The activity class to launch.
extras	Optional extra stuff to pass to the activity.

Returns

The activity, or null if non launched.

, android.content.Intent)">

public final T launchActivityWithIntent ( String pkg, Class <T> activityCls, Intent intent)

Added in API level 3

Utility method for launching an activity with a specific Intent.

Parameters

pkg	The package hosting the activity to be launched.
activityCls	The activity class to launch.
intent	The intent to launch with

Returns

The activity, or null if non launched.

public void runTestOnUiThread ( Runnable r)

Added in API level 3

Helper for running portions of a test on the UI thread. Note, in most cases it is simpler to annotate the test method with UiThreadTest , which will run the entire test method on the UI thread. Use this method if you need to switch in and out of the UI thread to perform your test.

Parameters

r	runnable containing test code in the `run()` method

Throws

Throwable

public void sendKeys ( String keysSequence)

Added in API level 1

Sends a series of key events through instrumentation and waits for idle. The sequence of keys is a string containing the key names as specified in KeyEvent, without the KEYCODE_ prefix. For instance: sendKeys("DPAD_LEFT A B C DPAD_CENTER"). Each key can be repeated by using the N* prefix. For instance, to send two KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT, use the following: sendKeys("2*DPAD_LEFT").

Parameters

keysSequence	The sequence of keys.

public void sendKeys (int... keys)

Added in API level 1

Sends a series of key events through instrumentation and waits for idle. For instance: sendKeys(KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT, KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER).

Parameters

keys	The series of key codes to send through instrumentation.

public void sendRepeatedKeys (int... keys)

Added in API level 1

Sends a series of key events through instrumentation and waits for idle. Each key code must be preceded by the number of times the key code must be sent. For instance: sendRepeatedKeys(1, KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER, 2, KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT).

Parameters

keys	The series of key repeats and codes to send through instrumentation.

Protected Methods

protected void runTest ()

Added in API level 1

Runs the current unit test. If the unit test is annotated with UiThreadTest , the test is run on the UI thread.

Throws

Throwable

protected void tearDown ()

Added in API level 1

Make sure all resources are cleaned up and garbage collected before moving on to the next test. Subclasses that override this method should make sure they call super.tearDown() at the end of the overriding method.

Throws

Exception
