InstrumentationTestRunner

Class Overview

An Instrumentation that runs various types of TestCases against an Android package (application). Typical usage:

1. Write TestCases that perform unit, functional, or performance tests against the classes in your package. Typically these are subclassed from:
   • ActivityInstrumentationTestCase
   • ActivityUnitTestCase
   • AndroidTestCase
   • ApplicationTestCase
   • InstrumentationTestCase
   • ProviderTestCase
   • ServiceTestCase
   • SingleLaunchActivityTestCase
2. In an appropriate AndroidManifest.xml, define the this instrumentation with the appropriate android:targetPackage set.
3. Run the instrumentation using "adb shell am instrument -w", with no optional arguments, to run all tests (except performance tests).
4. Run the instrumentation using "adb shell am instrument -w", with the argument '-e func true' to run all functional tests. These are tests that derive from InstrumentationTestCase.
5. Run the instrumentation using "adb shell am instrument -w", with the argument '-e unit true' to run all unit tests. These are tests that do notderive from InstrumentationTestCase (and are not performance tests).
6. Run the instrumentation using "adb shell am instrument -w", with the argument '-e class' set to run an individual TestCase.

Running all tests: adb shell am instrument -w com.android.foo/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

Running all small tests: adb shell am instrument -w -e size small com.android.foo/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

Running all medium tests: adb shell am instrument -w -e size medium com.android.foo/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

Running all large tests: adb shell am instrument -w -e size large com.android.foo/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

Running a single testcase: adb shell am instrument -w -e class com.android.foo.FooTest com.android.foo/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

Running a single test: adb shell am instrument -w -e class com.android.foo.FooTest#testFoo com.android.foo/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

Running multiple tests: adb shell am instrument -w -e class com.android.foo.FooTest,com.android.foo.TooTest com.android.foo/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

Including performance tests: adb shell am instrument -w -e perf true com.android.foo/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

To debug your tests, set a break point in your code and pass: -e debug true

To run in 'log only' mode -e log true This option will load and iterate through all test classes and methods, but will bypass actual test execution. Useful for quickly obtaining info on the tests to be executed by an instrumentation command.

To generate EMMA code coverage: -e coverage true Note: this requires an emma instrumented build. By default, the code coverage results file will be saved as /sdcard/coverage.ec, unless overridden by coverageFile flag (see below)

To specify EMMA code coverage results file path: -e coverageFile /sdcard/myFile.ec
in addition to the other arguments.

Summary

[Expand] Inherited Constants
From class android.app.Instrumentation String REPORT_KEY_IDENTIFIER If included in the status or final bundle sent to an IInstrumentationWatcher, this key identifies the class that is writing the report. String REPORT_KEY_STREAMRESULT If included in the status or final bundle sent to an IInstrumentationWatcher, this key identifies a string which can simply be printed to the output stream.

Bundle getAllocCounts() Returns a bundle with the current results from the allocation counting. Bundle getBinderCounts() Returns a bundle with the counts for various binder counts for this process. ComponentName getComponentName() Returns complete component name of this instrumentation. Context getContext() Return the Context of this instrumentation's package. Context getTargetContext() Return a Context for the target application being instrumented. boolean invokeContextMenuAction(Activity targetActivity, int id, int flag) Show the context menu for the currently focused view and executes a particular context menu item. boolean invokeMenuActionSync(Activity targetActivity, int id, int flag) Execute a particular menu item. boolean isProfiling() Check whether this instrumentation was started with profiling enabled. Activity newActivity(ClassLoader cl, String className, Intent intent) Perform instantiation of the process's Activity object.
