Does Robolectric support API level?

Question

I have some Test which I would like to run with Robolectric, I use the 2.3-SNAPSHOT as my APP uses the ActionbarCompat i needed to use 2.3-SNAPSHOT Version as Robolectric could not find the AppCompat Themes before. So I setup the Classpath in Eclipse and I end up with this:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Robolectric does not support API level 9, sorry! at org.robolectric.SdkConfig.<init>(SdkConfig.java:24) at org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner.pickSdkVersion(RobolectricTestRunner.java:288) at org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner.getEnvironment(RobolectricTestRunner.java:264) at org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner.access$100(RobolectricTestRunner.java:57) at org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner$2.evaluate(RobolectricTestRunner.java:186) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runNotIgnored(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:79) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:71) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:49) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.run(ParentRunner.java:193) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$1.schedule(ParentRunner.java:52) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runChildren(ParentRunner.java:191) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.access$000(ParentRunner.java:42) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$2.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:184) at org.robolectric.RobolectricTestRunner$1.evaluate(RobolectricTestRunner.java:172) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.run(ParentRunner.java:236) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit4.runner.JUnit4TestReference.run(JUnit4TestReference.java:50) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.TestExecution.run(TestExecution.java:38) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:467) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:683) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.run(RemoteTestRunner.java:390) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java:197) 

The Manifest of my Test Project is like this:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"       package="com.vendor.test"        android:versionCode="1"       android:versionName="1.0">       <application>            <uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" />       </application>       <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" android:targetSdkVersion="19" />       <instrumentation android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"        android:targetPackage="com.vendor" /> </manifest> 

I complains always about the API Level, no matter what i use.

Anyone got this working ?

Update: The annotation is now @Config(sdk = 18) (or @Config(sdk = Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2)) and the properties file mentioned in link is now robolectric.properties.

Original Answer: You can use the @Config annotation to have Robolectric emulate an SDK version. You can put this :

import org.robolectric.annotation.Config;  @Config(emulateSdk = 18) // now @Config(sdk = 18) as of Robolectric 3.0 @RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class) public class SomeTest ... 

This is also possible using a file as mentioned here

Not sure what it means for your KitKat specific tests but at least the others should work.
