Simple steps to automate test cases using robotium

1. Create one workspace or Directory named as “Workspace_Robotium”
2. Start eclipse.
3. Choose workspace.
4. New -> Project -> New Project -> Android application project
5. Application Name -> “Testing”
6. Project Name -> “Testing_Robotium
7. Next ...
8. New -> Android Test Project
   Project Name -> “Testing”
   Next . Select “this project”
9. Copy/ Take Apk to test
10. Open as Archive
11. Delete META-INF file
12. Change the sign and install the Apk
    1. Copy ~/.android/debug.keystore to apk containing directory.
    2. jarsigner -verbose -keystore debug.keystore ApkUnderTest.apk androiddebugkey
    3. jarsigner -verify ApkUnderTEst.apk
    4. Create tmp Folder
    5. zipalign -v 4 ApkUnderTest.apk tmp\ApkUnderTest.apk
    6. adb install tmp/ApkUnderTest.apk
13. Android Test project
    1. Build Path-> android Build path
14. Android test Project
    1. Change Activity launch name
    2. Change Android Manifest .xml file \
    3. <instrumentation
       android:targetPackage="com.Example.ApplicationTesting"
    with
    <instrumentation
    android:targetPackage="com.Example.ApplicationToTest"
    This you will get it from Logcat.
15. Make a class and Paste the code.

package com.example.testing_robotium.test;

import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;

import android.view.View;

import com.jayway.android.robotium.solo.Solo;

public class Test_sensor_simple extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 {

// this is the name of the Activity u are launching i.e the main activity of the android App

// u have to place the name of the main activity of the application under test .

private static final String LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME = "com.invensense.app.sensorsimple.SensorSimpleActivity";

// this will check if the Activity u have mentioned is present on the Device

private static Class launcherActivityClass;

static {

try {

launcherActivityClass = Class

.forName(LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME);

} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {

throw new RuntimeException(e);

}

}

public Test_sensor_simple() throws ClassNotFoundException {

super(launcherActivityClass);

}

//initialize the Robot class

private Solo solo;

// this is to start the activity which need to be Tested

@Override

protected void setUp() throws Exception {

solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(), getActivity());

}

public void testDisplayBlackBox1() {

solo.sleep(3000);

solo.clickOnCheckBox(2);

solo.scrollToSide(Solo.RIGHT);

solo.clickOnText("Game", 3);

solo.sleep(1000);

solo.clickOnText("Normal");

solo.sleep(5000);

}

// this is the test Cases

//this is to close the Activity After the Test cases are completed

@Override

public void tearDown() throws Exception {

solo.finishOpenedActivities();

}

}
