The instrumentation framework, which you dismissed earlier, is the answer. >>> There is an "Android Instrumentation Framework" (part of SDK) but >>> that's more for API or Unit testing not for functional testing. That is incorrect. Use android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 and sendKeys() to simulate user input. Admittedly, this only works for keyboard/trackball events (not touch events, AFAIK), but it is better than nothing. More importantly, short of improving the instrumentation framework, you have no other real option for black-box GUI testing, due to Android's security measures. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, $35/Year --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
