  1. POTesting Activities in Xamarin.Android
    text
    copied!<p>I'm wanting to unit test some interactions on activity lifecycle (I'm working on a data binding library, that can't have unit tests without it).</p> <p>Android has some good <a href="http://developer.android.com/tools/testing/activity_testing.html" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> on the subject. However, I've not found anyone that has attempted to do this with Xamarin. Many of the <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/test/package-summary.html" rel="nofollow">classes</a> in <code>android.test</code> are missing in Xamarin.</p> <p>So far I've attempted something like the following in the Xamarin test project that uses NUnit:</p> <pre><code> [TestFixture] public class MyActivityTests { private TestActivity _activity; private TestViewModel _viewModel; private Instrumentation _instrumentation; [SetUp] public void SetUp() { _viewModel = new TestViewModel(); _activity = new TestActivity(); _instrumentation = new InstrumentationTestRunner(); _instrumentation.Start(); _instrumentation.CallActivityOnCreate(_activity, Bundle.Empty); } } </code></pre> <p>Later on I'd have tests that use the activity.</p> <p>I also have to set the following in my manifest:</p> <pre><code>&lt;application android:label="My Tests"&gt; &lt;uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" /&gt; &lt;/application&gt; </code></pre> <p>The problem is, in my unit test above a <code>Java.Lang.NullPointerException</code> is thrown in my activity's <code>base.OnCreate()</code> method. I'm sure I'm missing something, because I'm in uncharted waters here.</p> <p>Here is the stack trace:</p> <pre><code>[MonoDroid] UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: Java.Lang.NullPointerException: Exception of type 'Java.Lang.NullPointerException' was thrown.
