How to relaunch the closed app in Robotium?

Question

I started to automate my Android app. It has a "Terms & conditions" screen. In that, if I click on "decline", my app will be closed.

How can I relaunch or restart my app within the same process?

Answer 1

Try this:

// assuming this method is in a ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 class
public void test_yourTest() {

    // do your testing

    Solo.sleep(1000);

    // killing all your Activities manually if it doesn't by itself anyway
    Solo.finishOpenedActivities();

    // relaunch your app by calling the same Activity as in the constructor
    // of your ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2
    this.launchActivity(TARGET_PACKAGE_ID, YourStartActivity.class, null);

    Solo.sleep(1000);

    // do your testing
}
