Robotium

Set up

Robotium tests are bundled in an external Android Test project (directory: robotiumTest/). After creation it is necessary to include the Robotium Solo jar file, found under the following url:

http://robotium.googlecode.com/files/robotium-solo-3.1.jar

Furthermore, the next url might help to get a glimpse of the possibilities given by Robotium tests:

Problems after Set up

Problems in Android Test projects can be caused by the wrong run parameters. In this case changing the run configuration, and the deletion of existing ones might help.

Another problem has been the call to the super class constructor(of ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<T>) in the constructor of a Robotium test. The easiest way to avoid it is probably to use a running test as a template.
