robolectric 2 - create activity under test with intent

Question

I am writing unit test with Robolectric. The setup looks like this

@RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class)
public class MiAirlineActivityTest {
    @Before
    public void setUpFor() {
        Intent intent = new Intent(HOW_TO_PASS_CONTEXT_HERE, MiAirlineActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra(EMPLOYEEID_EXTRA, "username");

        miAirlineActivity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MiAirlineActivity.class)
                                .withIntent(intent).start().get();
    }
}

How to pass the context while creating the new intent. I followed the example from this question.

There @David says,

"... i needed to give a Context and the class of the Activity it was being sent to"

How exactly I can do that ?

Note: Please don't mark it as duplicate of the above linked question. I am asking a new question since I could not add comment there.

Answer 1

miAirlineActivity = Robolectric.buildActivity(MiAirlineActivity.class).create().get();
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra(EMPLOYEEID_EXTRA, "username");
miAirlineActivity.setIntent(intent);
miAirlineActivity.onCreate(new Bundle());

This will launch your activity with the desired intent
