[android-developers] Re: Android JUnit Testing of Paste
Can you clarify? You want to simulate a long press in an edit box, followed by a selection of the paste menu item? If so, get hold of the Android 2.2 SDK documentation. In it, under the Resources tab, there's a tutorial on unit testing an Activity: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/testing/activity_test.html This uses the test case class ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2, which inherits from InstrumentationTestCase. Part of the tutorial shows how to get focus on a UI widget. In your case, you'd get focus on the edit box. From there, you need to bring up the context menu. I think you could use TouchUtils.longClickView() to do that. That puts focus on the menu, I think. From there, send DPAD_DOWN key events to move the highlight to the paste option, then DPAD_ENTER to select it. Keep in mind that I've never tried to do this on a menu. I just provide this as a guideline for trying to solve the problem. Also keep in mind that Android JUnit testing is really focused on *unit* testing. If you're really trying to test functionality, there are better options. IMHO, the difference is that unit testing goes method-by-method, with the assumption that all methods and classes are independent. You inject all external dependencies, either with mocks or actual objects. Functional testing goes from the beginning of a user task to the end. For example, a functional test of a calculator app would enter a 2, enter a +, enter another 2, enter an =, and check to see that 4 is displayed.

[android-developers] Re: Android JUnit Testing of Paste
Hi Elk,
Yes, I wanted to do a paste into a field just as a user would: long
press for context menu, then select Paste. Particularly, I had
identified a problem with pasting a value into a field rather than
entering with individual key presses (my bad, not an Android
problem). This isn't a functional test really, rather a component
test focused on the UI for a single field--I have detailed JUnit tests
for the app's data model. I find the Android JUnit framework to be
quite handy for testing this. But if you have a favorite tool for
functional testing, I'd like to know about it.
Your suggestion was spot on. Thank you! The code for the working
test follows.
--Z
/* Verify proper formatting of values in the bill total field
* when data is pasted into the field.
*/
public void testBillTotalPaste() {
mActivity.runOnUiThread(
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
billTotalEntryView.requestFocus();
}
}
);
mInstrumentation.waitForIdleSync();
mActivity.runOnUiThread(
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
ClipboardManager clipboardManager
= (ClipboardManager)
mActivity.getSystemService
(android.content.Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
clipboardManager.setText(120.56);
}
}
);
mInstrumentation.waitForIdleSync();
TouchUtils.longClickView(this, billTotalEntryView);
mInstrumentation.waitForIdleSync();
int[] keyCodes = {
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN,
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN,
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN,
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN,
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN,
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER
};
for (int keyCode : keyCodes) {
this.sendKeys(keyCode);
}
mInstrumentation.waitForIdleSync();
assertEquals(Incorrect pasted value, 120.56,
billTotalEntryView.getText().toString());
}
