Robolectric Android Unit Testing Framework

Editor's Notes

17. vs Robotium
18. Demonstrate the tests running in IntelliJ
20. Robolectric does include Mockito, uses it sparingly. Robolectric is compatible with mocking frameworks!
24. Show a demonstration in IntelliJ of a fake object
26. This means you can do operations like findViewById
28. Contains a .idea directory which has all of the module dependencies configured. Sadly there is currently no Eclipse support - Can anyone help?
31. Why is code module separate from RobolectricSample module? Running tests causes a build.  When running tests in the main Android module, IntelliJ will dex the classes adding overhead and time to tests. By placing the application code in a separate non-Android module, IntelliJ will not perform the slow dexing step, allowing for quicker iterations.
38. the real view is helpful for calling back into listeners and such
39. helpful when calling back into listeners that want to pass the ‘real’ object to the listeners
