Android unit test, super deprecated, replacement?

Question

The android unit testing documents say to test with junit like this

public SpinnerActivityTest() {
      super("com.android.example.spinner", SpinnerActivity.class);
} // end of SpinnerActivityTest constructor definition

http://developer.android.com/tools/testing/activity_test.html#InstallCompletedTestApp

Their example uses Android 2.1 though.

My app is using Android 4.2 although is backwards compatible.

What has the super class been replaced with? How should my constructor be written

Answer 1

You will need to use the call:

super (SpinnerActivity.class);

It's specified in the Android reference docs.

ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2(String pkg, Class<T> activityClass)
This constructor was deprecated in API level 8. use ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2(Class) instead

Use this instead.

ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2(Class<T> activityClass)
Creates an ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2.

Parameters
activityClass   The activity to test. This must be a class in the instrumentation targetPackage specified in the AndroidManifest.xml
