A good Tutorial of Setting up Robolectric
https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/Robolectric-Installation-for-Unit-Testing
1. modify the Top-level build.gradle.
Add robolectric gradle plugin to dependencies.
dependencies { ... classpath 'org.robolectric:robolectric-gradle-plugin:1.0.1' }
2. modify the app-level build.gradle.
Add following line
apply plugin: 'org.robolectric' ... dependencies { ... testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' testCompile 'org.robolectric:robolectric:2.4' }
3. Add test file under [Your Project]/app/src/test/[test files]
The test folder is at the same level with the "main" folder.
4. Write the test files
import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner; import org.robolectric.annotation.Config; @Config(emulateSdk = 18) @RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class) public class TestFile { @Test public void testIt() { // failing test gives much better feedback // to show that all works correctly ;) assertEquals(false, true); } }
5. run the test command "./gradlew test" to run test
